This is my first attempt; please be gentle.

My name is Bob, my wife's is Carol. We've been married for 40 years and a few months. The 40 years were wonderful; the few months, not so much.
Shortly after we had gotten married, Carol had been accepted to medical school. I was making $13,300/year and her tuition would be $30,000. Somehow, with second jobs and loans, we managed it. After working for 35 years as a pediatrician, Carol decided she wanted to retire and go to art school. I am a successful businessman, having owned and sold my own advertising agency, and now being employed full-time by a company I had done business with in the past. I made more than enough money that I encouraged Carol to go for it, despite our loss of her income and the tuition expenses we would incur.
So, she did. Problem is, Carol is susceptible to peer pressures, and the free-spirited art community wreaked havoc with our marriage. At first, she was my normal Carol. We spent all of our time together, and were as close as peas in a pod. Over time, that changed. Her colleagues encouraged her to spread her wings, and fly. Unfortunately, that included experiences of a sexual nature.
I had been Carol's only lover for her entire 62 years. I had had some experience before marriage, but none since. Our love life had been robust, to say the least. When younger, we would make love three times a day, every day while on vacation. With less time during a regular work week, we managed at least once per day.
After I'd turned sixty, Carol, in a particularly heated act of passion, tried to impale herself on my erect dick. In the process, she broke it..which I didn't even know was possible, but is. I needed surgery to repair the damage (no fun), and since then, we have scaled back a bit, but still managed to make love 3-4 time per week. Not bad for a couple of 60+ geezers.
After a while, Carol began to draw away from our closeness. When she was working as a pediatrician, she would routinely leave home at 7AM and return at 9PM or later. I chalked that up to her profession, and spent more time with our dogs, and read a lot, including Literotica stories, my favorites.
When she first started school, she would leave at 7AM and return at 6PM. We were almost a normal couple, from that perspective. Over time, though, 6PM became 7PM, then 8PM, and finally 9PM. She would tell me she was working on "homework" that couldn't be done at home because it required equipment that we didn't have (mostly sculpting stuff). I just figured that 7AM to 9PM was who she was, and I'd have to live with it. To be honest, it didn't bother me. I had spent so many years on my own for those 14 hours, that I almost resented it when she came home early.
Besides my job, I had plenty to do. I had founded a boys club in our town which provided an exercise outlet for the kids in town, and spent a lot of time there, coaching, counseling, and training with the kids. At 65, I was a rock-hard physical specimen weighing 160 pounds on a 5'4" frame with hardly any body fat. Carol stayed trim, as well, often training in our basement after arriving home at 9PM. She would eat a small breakfast in the morning, a piece of fruit for lunch, then a small dinner after commuting and training. She was still physically appealing to me, even though on the thin side.
Although I loved her to death, and still made love with her as often as possible, I was always a bit frustrated with Carol as a sexual partner. In 40 years, she never denied me when I pursued a liaison, but frustrated me in that she could only orgasm if she placed herself on top of me with her legs atop mine, and wiggled her hips. That position didn't do much for me because I could hardly move, but whenever she wanted it, I was game.
The most frustrating part was that I loved oral sex, and was dying to make her come with my tongue. I would go down on her routinely...and she returned the favor...but it would never end with a climax for either of us. She would abandon ship after a while and insist that I fuck her. Not wanting to upset her, I would comply (who wouldn't?).
