James, you are not the only one. I think "It's none of my business" is a mantra to dissociate one's *self-worth* from behaviour of the other (to make self-worth unconditional) but it is a poor one because as you said her husbands sexual desire towards her is quite telling of were Sandra is/was. He is her mirror.
Sandra's prior attitude towards sex (angsty feelings, expectations, dissatisfaction with them not being met) was exactly the reason her husband didn't want to have sex with her. Her attitude changed and as a result she became a MUCH more attractive woman and now her husband wants to bang her. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts feeling very studly soon and actually seek other women while it would be getting hotter and hotter between him and her.
@Sandra - big props on the inner change. That change will have a bigger effect on your husband's desire for you than diet-exercise-lifestyle combined. You can bring up diet-exercise-lifestyle but not directly. If he has any good male friends, talk to them so that they can talk to him without mentioning you.
