Not sad, but lonely
I think my quest over the last few years to beat sadness has made good progress. Maybe my name on here should change.
But I feel very alone. I love my wife and my life, but as I sit in a coffee shop and watch couples engage, I long to be touched and wanted. I don’t get that. I know she loves me and our family, but I miss that feeling of youth when your lover just needs to touch you, to feel you. I mean we make love, but is she really that into me like years ago? no.
My desires are blown off as just my being “male”. I cannot believe how much my needs and wants are seen as not important. Any other guys know what I am saying?
I am learning this is what life has dealt the middle aged guy. Reduced to not important to the women they love.
This feeling of lonely I cannot share with anyone. It hurts. To fight it or to leave or to cheat makes me the bad one.
We heard of a husband who left his wife and kids. Everyone called him a jerk. I wondered, did his wife fuck him with passion ever in the last few years? But society wont let us ask that question at a dinner party.
Who gets what I am saying. Anyone else feel this way?
