Sexless Marriage (when one partner is ill)

The 1st 7 years of my present marriage were in the physical sense great for both of us. Since then she fell ill then I did now we both are struggling with chronic conditions. I need a kidney transplant and her a number of
medical issues. the ironic thing is I retired to take care of her full-time before falling ill myself. the need is still there however the ability is absent on her part. it is what it is. anything else is a significant complication. it is what it is...

An unfortunate situation and my heart goes out for you and your wife. I was too in that same situation in the 1980’s. My wife had a workers compensation injury to her back working as a home health visiting nurse and then went onto develop a disabling cardiac illness 2 years after our marriage. Then 4 years later I fell at home during a small earthquake in southern Ca and fractured my spine and disabled me too. Yes I can honestly say I felt your pain. It is a difficult road to travel on and I salute you for retiring to care for your wife. I’m sure the connection you both have for and to each other is a powerful bond and glues you together.
