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

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.
