Somehow the "she's cheating on you" cliche cuts so much deeper coming from a female. But you were in the Service so I guess you become "one of the boys" in that environment.
Strangely enough, in the "glory days" 5 years ago, she did complain that I didn't grope her like I used to.
But once I corrected that, she quickly realized that the no-groping situation wasn't nearly the problem she imagined. Seems that gets old fast.
Currently on 600mg/week of testosterone so believe me when I tell you that I pull out all the seduction tricks I've learned over the years in an effort to get some action going.
The difference is any little thing will throw the mood off for her now. Used to be it didn't matter how crazy life was around us. We could look at each other, know that we both wanted it and lock ourselves in the bathroom for 7 or 8 minutes to get the job done. I think keeping that kind of passion up 10 years into a marriage is pretty good.
Women wear makeup, dye their hair, put on high heels, use false eyelashes, throw-on a push-up bra and toss-in some hair extensions -- isn't that the epitome of false advertising?
I'd be happy to act all caring and sensitive every Mon, Wed, Fri in exchange for my wife dressing up like a slutty cheerleader every Tue, Thur, Sat night. Sundays can be rest days.
i'm like a beagle i suppose. . .you can feed me the same thing every dang day. . .yet, at 5 o'clock sharp, when i'm laying on the floor sleeping next to the fireplace, and i hear the food bag crunching and crinkling while you're getting it out of the closet, i'll spring to my feet and yell YEEEEEESSSSS!! FOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

She'd get used to you doing your part and begin expecting it. While producing excuses for why she can't do her part (i.e. kids still up, tired from work, early start next day, etc. etc.).
