Dear Suze Q. I married a man 20 years older who is scheduled for prostate cancer surgery. He’s offered to divorce me so I can have a full life with someone else. I love him, but I also love sex.
Dear Younger One, He sounds like quite a selfless, gentle man who is also depressed. Survival rate after prostate cancer surgery is generally very high, although life change often occur afterwards like decreased interest and ability to have sex. Divorce is a drastic move, but so is no sex in an otherwise happy marriage. Consider all options: take a lover, or an occasional romp with a friend with benefits; AND hormone therapy to restore his libido, with medication and/or devices (penis pump) to continue sex with you. See a therapist. Try everything and in a year reevaluate your marriage. -SQ
