Let me tell you about a paradox that plagues midlife women.

She misses being touched.

She misses feeling desired. Wanted. Connected.

She misses the intimacy that used to come naturally.

But when he reaches for her?

She pulls away.

Not because she doesn't want connection.

But because intimacy feels like one more thing on her to-do list.

One more person needing something from her body.

One more demand she doesn't have the capacity to meet.

And then she feels guilty.

Because she knows he's confused. Hurt. Frustrated.

Because she knows this is a problem.

Because she knows she should want intimacy—but she just... doesn't.

Let’s unpack this on this paradox episode today.

This is Episode 8 of the series: "Marriage Conversations Midlife Besties Are Having (But Afraid to Say Out Loud)."

I'm Jennifer Roskamp, and this is The Intentional Midlife Mom podcast.
