Dear Mary: I have an adventurous, sensual relationship with my younger husband but I’m terrified I’ll lose my sex drive when I reach the menopause

Question: I am 55 years old and am married to a wonderful man who is 10 years younger. We met 11 years ago when I was in a dead-end job and deeply depressed. My life has completely changed since then.

My husband has made me feel beautiful for the first time in my life. He has supported me throughout so I could get a university degree and, when he travels for his work, which is often, I go with him. In the last decade, I have been abroad more than I have been home.
