I never know where I am with him. He is 70, I am 68
His moodiness mostly centres around sex
For example , we make love about once every 2 weeks which is plenty for me, it goes on for about an hour before he will let me go. I suffer from a bad back and hip and very unsupple legs. So 4 days after making love and an hour before he was due to go away for 3 days he suggests"a. quickie" which means about 1/2 an hour. I suppose I should have said yes to keep the peace but I did not want to do it and I was in the middle of something. Anyway now, since coming back , he doesn't want to kiss or anything. He has never been able to just kiss, it has always been a grope and I have told him about this in the past but he can't help himself
Because I turned him down he is very moody , he can be okay one minute and I think " brilliant" and then he goes all silent and says he is fed up. He says it is obvious that I don't want a relationship with him because I turned him down. To him sex is the be all and end all of marriage. We have been married 47 years and a lot of that time I have felt like I have been treading on eggshells , He is also VERY self centered and always right When he finished teaching 10 years ago I thought he was becoming easier to live with,, but not this past week. AIBU to restrict sex to once in 2 weeks so as not have too much discomfort in my back , hips and legs? Cuddles always turn into sex, he can't help himself.
