Sex File: His moods are a total turnoff but he wants us to have more sex

"Men in their 60s worry about a million things: ageing, illness, impotence, irrelevance, isolation, money and, ultimately, the wooden overcoat."

When two people have spent decades living in close proximity, they become experts at reading each other's behaviour and reacting accordingly.

My 60-something husband has become increasingly anxious and irritable, which is an incredible turn-off. 

He thinks having more sex would help us feel closer, and he might be right, but his attitude to life in general is putting me off. I'm not sure how to break the stalemate. If I protest about his moods, they only get worse.
