Hello, i am a 68 yr old married man who's wife has a lot of ongoing health problems and is currently in hospital, and could be for quite a while. I do 90% of house work, shopping, and all of the cooking at home, not to mention looking after the garden. We are not intimate together anymore which i miss, and we have talked about me having an affair so at least i could have a little pleasure. She said that she has no objections. Hopefully we will stay together in the long term. What would others do?

Sex is not the be all and end all of a relationship..if she's happy for you to have some fun elsewhere then go for it.

I think I would soul search for a while to make sure I believed that she genuinely wanted me to go and have sex with other people. Because I'd worry that she was saying it just to make me happy so that I didn't leave her when she needed me.

Both the above comments are very relevant.

hiding from cock pics.

Also be sure you can trust yourself to not become over attached to a new lover, as that would cause hurt and complications to your situation.

The "Hopefully we will stay together in the long term" bit made me raise an eyebrow.

If you can separate 'sex' and 'love' - it's easier to handle the situation and should not compromise your long-term stability.

If Mrs is genuinely okay with this - then

Sometimes the "don't ask, don't tell" policy works better...

The hopefully stay together comment suggests to me that you are not ready for that kind of relationship

Is there any possibility of your wife resuming intimacy? I don't mean penetrative sex necessarily but all the other sexual things that can happen between long established couples that lead to closeness and intimate feelings.

To me an "affair" has emotional connotations, but I think sex is OK if you are sure your wife is OK with it.
