Asking Eric: Married Couple Are Soulmates but Have Stopped Having Sex
The husband says both partners lost desire and attraction, and the couple remains happily married despite five years without sex.
- After more than four decades of marriage, a 70-year-old husband and his 64-year-old wife have mutually agreed to forgo sex for the past five years.
- Both spouses cite weight struggles as contributing factors to their loss of physical desire and motivation for intimacy over time.
- Despite the shift, the husband describes his wife as his 'forever soulmate' and confirms they remain happily married, though he admits to occasional dreams of past partners.
- Relationship expert Eric clarified there is no standard 'normal' for relationships, noting that every couple changes in communication, shared interests, and physical connection throughout their time together.
- Eric recommends the couple consult a couples therapist or sex therapist to discuss their feelings in a neutral environment, even if they do not seek to restart their sex life.
