0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM.
0:10.0	I'm 11. Jennifer, welcome to the program. Thank you, Dr. Loura for taking my call. A little background. I'm 53. My husband's 55.
0:21.0	We've been married for 27 years. We have one son that is 18, not to go off to college. And we have not had sex in three years.
0:34.0	He was a former police officer, so he worked a lot of shift work was always tired.
0:42.0	I felt like he was only a police officer for the last three years. No, he was a police officer probably for 15 years.
0:51.0	And then what did that have to do with the last three years?
0:56.0	He was very obese and he had this sleep procedure performed. So we had not had sex before.
1:06.0	He was a severely obese police officer.
1:12.0	Yeah.
1:13.0	They let him work as a police officer severely obese. How could he run after a bad guy? I agree. I agree.
1:21.0	Okay. Okay. So severely obese often don't have sex. And what can I do for you?

1:40.0	He didn't want to discuss it.
1:43.0	You know, I tried to do that. You have three choices. And one of them is not arguing with him about it. One is you leave.
1:52.0	The other is you stay and keep arguing.
1:56.0	The third is you stay and accept that you can be intimate on every other ground, but sexually.
2:02.0	That you can be friends. Confidence. Close.
2:08.0	That you're intimate in any way except sex because intimacy and sex are not necessarily.
2:14.0	Can't use those two words simultaneously necessarily. You know, because you can have sex with some guy you meet in a bar in the next 10 minutes.
2:22.0	That's not intimate. That's sex.
2:24.0	So those are your three choices. You got to give them a lot of thought to leave to stay and keep arguing and ruin the rest of the relationship.
2:34.0	So that the rest of it's unpleasant or three you stay and just accept that that part of the relationship is over.
