Even in their fifties, the cuddling is what women want most. Men want sex, but some of us are flexible. But, I got ignored so much after our second baby that when our second baby became 16 yo, I finally had to remind my wife of men's priorities. She was apologitic and said that she really needed to hear that reminder.

It's always a struggle in any relationship, even a long term one. But, one can't be a doormat either, I have to take care of my own needs, otherwise resentment builds up.

With the kids home all the time, we take hotel "vacations" just two miles from home. Sometimes, one has to be creative to make things work.

At your early stages of relationship, your flexibility and patience is a great virtue. It will serve you well.
