My husband and I have been married for 10 years... together for 12. I am 43 and he is 41 (just)... Since about December it seems that I have absolutely zero interest in sex. We have been sexually active up until December... My husband is very, very hurt and confused to the point where he is "threatening" to get it elsewhere. Part of me wants to say "go ahead"... I as well get accused of "messing around" on him (understandable I guess) HOWEVER, I do miss the itimacy terriby but I can get it going!!! When we do have sex, I really feel like crying .. I love my husband very much..! It seems that I don't even get so much as a hug or a smooch anymore... he's very cold, very distant... I'm thinking (hoping) that its my age. I used to enjoy sex very much.. we were very experimental .. I just can't explain this. I'm thinking that maybe I should go to see my family physician but it is very hard for me to talk about without crying .. and I don't know my physician to the point where I would be comfortable ... Hope you or someone can help me help my marriage.

When was your last physical? Could you have early symptoms of menopause, hormone changes? Please go get checked by your doctor.
