Need some opinions here. This situation is about Joe and Jane and of course that isnt their real names. Joe had an affair about ten years ago. Joe and Jane split up for a while but finally reconciled and got back together. On the surface that sounds like a positive thing, but was it really.
Jane (being well over 50 now and has gone through menopause) wants nothing to do with a sexual relationship with Joe, or anyone for that matter. Says she just has no interest in sex or intimacy with Joe. Well Joe still has fire in the kitchen even though there is snow on the roof.
It is my opinion Jane hasnt truly forgiven Joe, and is withhold affection because of it. Now Im very well aware of the fact that after women go through menopause there hormones go crazy. But talking to her I feel it is much deeper than that. I fear Joe is going to stray again out of frustration. Jane does have a biblical obligation to her husband, but if she cant emotionally then there is a real problem.
So question is. What should Joe do? What should Jane do.
This isnt a issue with just Joe and Jane. It is a common problem today. What is the best way to address it. I have my own ideas but I would like to hear from both men and women how they feel about such issues.
