Sexless Marriage (when one partner is ill)
Men's Health | Last Active: Jun 19 11:27am | Replies (166)Comment receiving replies
My wife and I have been married for 34 years and 13 years ago she has become ill and has lost all sexual desire. We have not had sex that entire time. We are deeply in love with each other still and the rest of our marriage is very good and I am as happy as I can be with the situation. I love my wife so much and don't know what to do. I don't think there is a solution to this problem and I would rather love without sex than leave her.

Hi @jhanco999, I'd like to add my welcome too. It sounds like you have a loving relationship. You said "I would rather love without sex than leave her." Do you find ways to be intimate without sex?

I am so sorry to hear of yet another situation like yours. Sex is a beautiful gift but it appears as though you have been able to accept the situation for what it is. You say you don't know what to do so I am a little confused as to what you are asking. If this is your first experience with Mayo I do believe that you will receive a lot of feedback. The Moderator's are great and you / your wife may be eventually directed to Mayo for possible help. Do not accept NO for an answer. Continue to look for an answer. I say this from the depths and despair of experience.
