He has quit his job to prepare for the move and selling most all of his things to come with me. I am well aware of how stressful this is for both of us; however, lately our sex life is really suffering. Since leaving his job, I've noticed that he doesn't last very long when we do have sex. Also, the frequency of sex has drastically diminished and the spontenaity as well as the passion is waning. I'd like to think that this is all stress related. My fears as an older woman is that he has lost interest in me. I know that porn and chatting on line with other woman were a big part of life prior to me. I don't know the frequency of which he still engages in either; if it is total lack of desire, I assume he wouldn't want to be physical with me, or that interested in porn or other fantasies. Of course, there is no way to know if sex with me is being supplemented with porn, or if it is just lack of desire for me, or due to stress. I would appreciate it if any one has any advise. Lonely and hurt and feel rejected.

Dear Questioning,
I can so relate with how you are feeling. When a partner does not reach out to you, does not demonstrate that they desire you, and when you are feeling sexually unsatisfied, it can really hurt. I am in a similar situation and came here for some insight and help figuring out how to approach the subject. My response to you - as an objective outsider - is to ask if you have discussed this with your boyfriend? How does it feel when you think about bringing the subject up?
I am hoping to find a way to discuss his lack of sexual interest with my fiancee in a way that strengthens our relationship - I just haven't figured out how to do it without hurting his feelings.
I wish you the best in your relationship - please keep us posted on how things are going!
