- Tau,
Apologies if this thread has been done on this site already - did a search but didn't come up with the kind of thing I was looking for. If this kind of discussion does exist already please point me in its direction. Right - disclaimer over :tongue:
I have an older friend - she and her husband are in their late 50s. She just told me, after we've been chatting for about a year, that she and her husband don't have sex and have not been having sex for about 6 years now. She says he refuses to see a doctor for that specific problem and that, when he does his regular checks with the doc he appears to be in perfect health and that makes him even more unwilling to bring up the issue. I honestly don't know what to say to her. She pretty much just broke down about it. She still loves him and she misses the physical intimacy but has no idea how to get him to take action with regards to his problem. Do any of you have any links for me that I could read up and see what a potential issue might be? And advice to offer? How would you deal with a friend/brother/father who had a problem like this and just refused to deal with it?
