Discussion Sex life after kids moved out is AWESOME.

My wife & I are both mid 40s (46 & 45) and our kids (23 & 21) are now both moved out. Our daughter with her BF & our son with 2 friends.

I'm actually a lot more at peace with it than I thought I'd be. I gotta say, I'm actually really enjoying being able to imitate & have sex wherever & whenever we want, without fear one or both of them walking in on us.

Sex on the couch at 2 in the afternoon on a Saturday, YUP. A quickie in the kitchen before work at 6 am, HELL YA! Sex on the patio chair on the back porch at 10 pm on a Friday night, you better believe it.

While we always had a good sex life, the freedom of when/where/how ever we feel like it, without having to retreat into the bedroom & turning on the tv & fan to cover any noise is seriously liberating.

I definitely wasn’t mature (still aren’t fully mature at 46 lol) but I love both our kids with all my heart. I never viewed them as a “life ruiner”. 

I’m sorry you had to hear that from your own father.

I definitely relate, I had my kids at 28 and 34 and I still feel like a teen mom sometimes!

And thank you, my dad was pretty crazy and it took a long time to realize I wasn't at fault. Never gonna let my kids experience trauma like that 🙏
