Annie, I empathize with you. It is no easy place we all find ourselves in this late in life. Still, I agree with you about friendship between partners being the real glue, along with the other more tangible issues a relationship takes on board over the years. I have not lost hope, as my wife seems a little more accepting each week. Still, being only able to dress once or twice a month is so hard now, and getting harder.
I dread the day I must talk to my kids, but when that day comes I think it will be a turning point, although whether for good or bad remains to be seen.
I am so looking forward to seeing you, sweet friend, and having the opportunity to discuss these things face to face.

Though...lol...I fully expect we will all have our hands full swatting away eager suitors from our young, gorgeous sister Sarah. Hahaha
