Is it asking too much to want or expect this after all these years?

I'm married 27 yrs to same man (good guy!) have 4 grown children and don't feel satisfied with our "love" life, intimacy, affection

having been the initiator for all these years I just DON'T WANT TO be the only one who starts things anymore. IS that expecting too much given our 27 yr pattern or should I expect him to start & give more for me now? Your perspectives appreciated.

    change it up! Get a new hobby together, like sailboating. To get him to take a new role, you are going to have to make something else new too. It's not asking too much.

    Some men have a problem with initiating sex due to self esteem issues or just fear of rejection. As guys we are kind of brainwashed from childhood to think of you gal's as being disgusted by sex.

    It's like were thinking " if i reach over and touch her is she going to grab my arm and say NO !!!!! "

    It can sometimes be like wondering if you reach over to pet a rattlesnake and wonder if it will coil up in your hand or strike
