Since I started the menopause, my sex life has completely died
DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE I started the menopause, my sex life has completely died.
No matter how hard I try, I have no desire to be near my husband and sometimes I even wonder if I love him.
He’s 60, I’m 53 and we’ve been married for 30 years.
I started experiencing symptoms around five years ago. At the time it was mainly hot flushes, aches and pains, but gradually I became less and less interested in sex.
Even when we attempted it for the sake of my husband I found it so painful that we stopped altogether.
I know he has tried his best to be understanding, but if I’m honest it’s taken a huge toll on our marriage.

DEIDRE SAYS: A loss of libido is a common symptom for women during perimenopause and affects as many as 50 per cent of women.
