We have threads without number on why men hobby and the problems with disinterested wives, but what about the reverse? I know several instances when the wife, kiddies requiring less direct supervision, wants to return to the work force, get involved in community life, AND, resume the sex life she shelved while raising small children. She goes to the gym, becomes svelte, changes her hairdo, looks enticing in perhaps her mid-40s...but gets no response from her husband, who has either turned to other interests, including the hobby, or is on the verge. In these cases, the problem isn't vanished libido, but loss of sexual interest in one's spouse. When it goes, I submit, it won't come back, despite any number of come-ons like candlelit dinners, jacuzzis, sexy lingerie, couples movies, or romantic weekends. The problem is serious because in all other respect the marriages are viable, and the husband hasn't lost his libido, he's lost sexual interest in his wife, whom he still loves, and who may still be attractive to other men but not to her husband.
A recipe for big trouble, I say, and far more frequent than one might think. What say, LG and fellow threadsters, and what if any are the remedies?
