Sexless Marriage (when one partner is ill)

Love continues, I accepted it. The cuddling is perfect, gestures, comments and good conversation is sustaining. I seemed to have lost my desire for sex and admittedly, it is nice not having to be sure I am being submissive to sex as during earlier encounters, I’d be tired or just not feeling ‘up to it’, so there is no longer guilt. We can cuddle just to cuddle and it is greatly satisfying. I concur with the statements above.

Hello @wlida and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You sound at peace with where you are at in your relationship. Can I ask if you and your husband are on the same page and if you openly talk about it? If so, what recommendations can you share with others about the communication side of things?
