She told us the story of a beautiful woman. An older woman who took care of herself and looked good. Looking good was defined as having an attractive body, dressing well, and undergoing all possible cosmetic beauty treatments to preserve the remnants of youth.
She repeated to us several times about her hair how beautiful it was and so long, she said pointing to the middle of her back. She took care to get hair extensions. At this point all I could think about was how uncomfortable that might feel.
Her husband just bought her a spanking new red sports car. Whenever he sensed she was in need of an uplift, he asked her if she wanted to travel and he sent her off with her family or friends for a change of scenery.
When she was unhappy with the household staff, he immediately set things right and replaced them with new workers.
She told us he was the ideal husband in all ways that a woman might want. But one.
He hasn’t come close to her in years. He hasn’t touched her or said a loving word to her in ages. They were like brother and sister with no display of any affection. She said she has tried to seduce him with her manner and the way she dressed but it didn’t move him one bit.
So the women discussed this at length. Why after all these years does a man lose interest in his wife? Some of the women said he must have a mistress or another wife. No man can be so devoid of any interest in the opposite sex for years. Others said no, he was probably just tired and older and had lost interest. Others said that he must have seen something in his wife that turned him off for good but he was just too nice to break up a long-term relationship and had no interest in starting a new one.
Both people lonely and unable to communicate to each other their loneliness.
