No means no thanks

Today, I found out that my partner of 18 years has officially decided that our physical relationship is over. We hadn’t been intimate since my youngest was conceived 5 years ago. I had always held out hope that it would come again, but now I have been told it’s over and I’m at a loss at what to do. I still love her. FML

She could be perimenopausal. What you can do is be supportive and help her through it. She should see her GP and a menopause specialist. By the way, even if she gets treatment, she may not necessarily want the physical aspect of the relationship back.

Agreed. It's as if marriage or a lifelong partnership is more than just sex.

It was a good run now it's time to by a case of lotion. Nothing lasts forever.

Get a sidechick for the physical part. Should be okay with your wife as long as it doesn't get emotional...

Look at OP downvoting me every time. If you can't be with her for her inherent value as a person and prioritizing how she can continue to satisfy your sexual needs, do her a favour and get a divorce.
