Di,
There are physical symptoms that come in groups. Would he consider seeing a local acupunturist/herbalist? He could open up as much as he feels comfortable. A good practitioner will ask some questions in related areas without getting too "personal". He might appreciate another less involved person to share his story with. Since the treatments are more holistic than Western Medicine, his symptoms, including hormonal imbalances can often be corrected. Good luck.

I hope that's not too frank. Your post just reminded me of some things I have read about and I thought maybe you could use in your heart to hearts somehow. Of course a little prayer might help too.
And no one should go through life without all the joy God intended for us all.

I tend to agree with this. Not only the young 'ens, it's the TV that has so much CLEAVAGE it irritates me. DH and I do discuss that: How women nowadays show too much and leaving not much for the "mystery" of their wives.
Remember Caroline Ingalls on Little House? She wore matronly stuff. What she had was for her Charles alone. I tend to feel that way. But with the way women dress today, my darling has no inclination to seek out what I have to offer.
Plus, his sleeping on the sofa does not help either. (his doing since he uses the TV in the LR to fall asleep. Now where does that leave me? Alone in the bedroom, with one of the doggies cuddling up!!
Well, there is hope, I know. I think he also has lots on his mind. Something that I don't get in the way of my sex drive. I guess it does for men.
(by the way, removing the clothes for that photo shoot only would have made ME freezing!)

The fact that he won't go to a doctor hurts the most.
In the end it will wind up hurting him the most. I just hope he changes his mind about it.

Or, do what many wives should do, as I should've done, schedule the doctor's appointment and make him go.

You have hit the nail on the head Dianne.
There are also other men who think it's going to eventually "get better."
Di, I am pretty sure you have tried everything except the one most important thing...making him go in for a check-up.
