My wife is 40 years old and we are blessed with a 7 year old chid. She has completely loss interest in sex and its been several years she has shown any interest in sex. I tried convincing her to visit a doctor but she is quite reluctant. I respect her feelings and hence never persuade her strongly on the matter.But I believe having sexual relationship between husband and wife further strengthen the bond. I am very perplexed and clueless, what should I do in this situation. Please suggest.
Ans: 40 is hardly an age to turn celibate! Instead of convincing her, first have a frank conversation about what the trouble is. Does she not enjoy it? Is she repulsed by it? Does she feel stressed or guilty about it? And yes, even if reluctant, I do believe a therapist is required. You’re completely right about bonding sexually; it is important. Don’t ignore the problem, be supportive but certainly address it.
