Married men get dull?
My husband works on the road. He's home every 10 to 14 days for 2 or 3 days. He calls me most days complaining about weather, traffic, dispatchers, customers...blah blah blah. I am a driver too and I understand why he feels that way, but he drones on and on and on. He gets home and expects food...okay I'm on that and have it almost ready when he gets home. He is always silent when eating. He leaves the table and pours himself a drink...a strong one, and goes downstairs to watch the big screen tv. He watches the same movies again and again and again. He's a struggle to get into the shower and brushes his teeth far less often. Is everyone disgusted and falling asleep yet? Me too! Now this man wants oral sex. I've told him a billion times that I like a little mental stimulation. I like a clean man with fresh breath too. How about a little foreplay? What am I supposed to do? He's 56 years old and had a heart attack 14 years ago. Yes he is on heart medication and that has been preventing him from achieving an erection for any longer than three minutes. It goes limp fast. He gets very frustrated and has another drink. The next day is exactly the same. He leaves for a long run and the cycle starts again. Any ideas how to spice this man up?
Thanks. Yep you are right. Huge lack of communication. Mamma- I have had that conversation with him...yet I take the night walks alone. He refuses to eat veggies..he calls them poison. He was on anti depressants and it just made him miserable. He felt nothing. He cared about nothing. He would have erections for two and three hours and I was happy but he couldn't orgasm no matter what I did. It took two years to get him off of the zoloft and we had a happy normal sex life for five years....Now we're back in the slumps for two years six months and counting. I need a magic answer. I just don't know what to do with him. I've tried sexy outfits, made dinner arrangements, made plans with friends to do fun things, the house is clean, bills are paid, and healthy foods are available.
I couldn't drag him to couple therapy if I begged. He will not go.

well, u married a truck driver, what did u expect? u wanted a man taking a shower regularly and dressed nicely and being romantic and stimulating - should have found a man working some intellectial job. like a banl manager. if he ever wanted u of course. and for your dude - if he has a heart problems maybe he shouldn´t be drinking strong drinks like there is no tomorrow?

Based on your description, your sexual intimacy issues stem from poor communication.
The fact he is dull is a personal issue, not a gender one.
Only the people that haven't done anything meaningful to solve their problems, either through conversation or therapy, find the need to complain.
EDIT: Did you try couple therapy ? After reading your additional details, it seems these issues are beyond your control and this might be your only option.
EDIT2: Misjudged you then, I apologize for that. In any case, if he isn't willing to commit to a change in spite of how you feel currently, your only option is too weigh whether this kind of life is what you want for yourself or divorce and find a man willing to fulfill your needs.
Honestly, no one deserves this kind of apathy from their own significant other. Specially a dedicated wife like yourself. :/

You need to sit down and have a heart to heart talk with your husband. Tell him that you need more time with him and you miss him. Let him know you are concerned he has become depressed and needs to see the doctor. He needs help in dealing with his depression and lack of sexual drive and you may have to insist he go. You husband sounds like he feels depressed due to his job and his physical condition. Ask him what you can do to help him make the changes he wants. Maybe he needs to find a new job, get medication for his sex drive & depression and start dieting and exercising. Tell him if he doesn't change some things, he may not be around for much longer and you want him to be here with you.
Take care!

Hi. I hear your heart . You want him to love you, not just sexually.
The problem is him not you. Sounds like he doesn't talk to you.
Counseling might help. But you need to tell him first how you feel.
But do it with love and patience.

Penis pump? I'd say viagra, but with the heart meds, that may not work.
Also, try sex toys. That is a great way to spice things up, with or without him.
