By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

Our intimacy is related to time together and getting everything off our chests. Since we get out nightly, there usually aren’t any issues that are so big that sour the moment.
I will echo that sex is fun and doesn’t have to be a big deal. Embrace the quickie. Embrace different times of days and locations. However, NEVER wake me up in the middle of the night! I have my caretaking duties to do that.
Years ago I had a co-worker who was having a similar problem. Just not in the mood, but she had a good marriage and knew her husband was feeling neglected (for lack of a better word).
She ended up going to her gynecologist and got some very low dose testosterone. It was a game changer for her and she raved about it.
I don't know if this would be appropriate for you but I just wanted to throw it out there as a consideration.
Great advice!!
Hopefully 2021 will be better than 2020!!!
Happy New Year!!
Thank you for your input!
I just replied to some one else, but it may bear repeating.
Just a little more info.
Besides being responsible for these two women, this last year I have been dealing with colon cancer, a fractured foot and just had major spine surgery.
I am physically and mentally exhausted!
You're right, sometimes simple skin contact is awesome!! It's enough for me at this point, however, that's not usually the case with my hubby! Lol
I'm most definitely a work in progress!!
Merry Christmas!
Not, of course, as though I PERSONALLY would ever consider doing such a thing. They might take my badge!
I would absolutely consider it, however, my hubby is a Doctor and wouldn't go for it.
It's a great thought!!
As always, on point!!
Date night, as suggested, is my #1 preference in this department. That way, I can plan for taking a bath, setting the mood, the whole nine yards.
Hope you try it and it works a charm for you & DH! And also that you can treat your caretaker role as a 9-5 type of job, as cwillie suggested. I turn my phone to vibrate after dinner and leave it that way till morning. There is NO job on earth that should be done 24/7. Your loved ones are in care homes, as is my mother, and THEY are the ones doing the hands on care. They know how to call 911 if necessary so WE can get the rest and the breaks we need.
Simple advice--try your best have sex with your husband. It can be EXTREMELY LONELY being the sexually neglected partner.
