F*cked at 40: Life Beyond Suburbia, Monogamy and Stretch Marks

I was bored, angry, tired and sad. I felt all alone yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who as far as I could tell wasnt shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being the occasional assholes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to. But inside, I was growing restless. I was sick of having the same dull conversations about meal plans and kid-friendly holidays. I was frustrated with having the same married sex Id been having for the past seven years, or not having any sex at all. I didnt want to be looked at as just a mom. I wanted to be desired, to make someones hair stand on end and go crazy for me. I didnt want to live by some label that didnt represent me. I looked at my messy SUV after my yoga class one morning and I wanted to vomit on it all. I panicked, thinking about how I am slowly approaching middle age and the menopause and I wondered how many years do I have left of being f**ckable before everything starts going downhill?
