15.5 years married. She got pregnant 3 months after I got out of the military. I wasn’t ready to settle down, but I did for my daughter’s sake. Sex was great until after she had our daughter. Her hormones have been jacked up ever since. She’s fought female problems for years until finally having a partial hysterectomy. This is the main reason I’ve stayed with her. I feel like she wants to have a better relationship. Her body just won’t allow it and that’s not her fault. She’s an awesome mother, but nonexistent when it comes to physical interaction. We’ve gone the counseling and therapy route, but it always ended with ways to fix her issues with physical contact. Which ultimately put her on the defensive. I’ve changed everything about myself to try to help, but nothing has worked. It would destroy her if I left, but I can’t live the rest of my life this way. I’m starting to lose the desire and have issues of my own when we do have sex. This bothers me more than anything now. I’ve had the libido of a 16 year old all my life and now I have trouble finding joy in anything sexual. We’ve even talked about me finding a side partner and that got shot down fast. No idea what I should do now.
