My husband and I have been married for 50 years. We have been together longer than that , since I was a 14 year old school girl.  I always knew that sex was the key to our marriage as even though we had our share of arguments  and some difficult times when our  business was  struggling, we always made up and have enjoyed many many great times , travelling the world and enjoying our grandchildren . This last year has been a very difficult one , made worse by CoVid lockdowns. We sold our 5acre property in Melbourne and our beach house on the Bellarine to buy a 4acre property  on the  Bellarine.  I felt our life was going to be wonderful . He had his space and I had life on the coast  Then he was diagnosed with prostate and bad hormone therapy  and 40 sessions of radiotherapy , which involved travelling the 1.5 hours to Melbourne and back each weekday for 8 weeks.  We are now in the last week if that treatment , although his hormone therapy will continue.   His attitude towards me has become increasingly worse.  He now says I am making him worse , despite my efforts to cater for his every whim    He shows me absolutely no affection or warmth - I have to force him to give me a hug - which he usually pushes me away.  I have sat and cried  on my own.  If he discovers  me , he yells and blames me for all manner of things.  I just don’t know what to do any more.  I don’t want to involve my children.  My friends are all in Melbourne and therefore in lockdown and I haven’t had a chance to meet people locally or to  join a gym etc down here because of CoVid.  That’s why I’m writing here. Are there other women going through the same thing? Are there women who have been through this and have come through it ? How did they manage it ?  Thank you. Val  ... View more
