Sex is Non-Existent

Dear GG—

I’m a trucker’s wife, and I have been one fornearly 15 years. Over the past few months, my husband has come home and plopped in front of the TV until he has to leave again. Sex is almost non-existent!

We’re a young couple—Charlie is 49, and I’m 44. I don’t think it’s right that he’s gone for so long and unable to perform his “husbandly duties.” Are all truck-
ers like this, or I am the only lucky one?

Charlie, what’s up, dude? (sorry, no pun intended).

Adrienne, in all seriousness, the issue could be medical or personal. Does Charlie lack sexual drive or interest? Has he gained a few pounds and maybe feels a little lethargic? On the flip side, is he staying out on the road longer and coming home less often? Has Charlie lined his truck with curtains, candles and mood music?

Your mind goes wild with imagination, right? Talk to the man and/or get counseling. Don’t try to guess what the problem is.

Adrienne, what have you done to ensure a good sex life between you and Charlie? Have you let yourself go? Are you genuinely happy to see him when he comes home or do you rush to stick a “to do” list in his hands the instant he hops off the truck?

Take matters into your own hands, Adrienne, and face this issue head on. I better quit while I’m ahead. I can’t stop with the puns.

Good luck you two!

GG
