Hummmm antidepressants are known for causing problems with sexual desire (and weight gain). She might want to encourage her to talk with her doctor about this.

I understand your feelings in the midst of all this. Of course it's difficult not to take this all personally and unintentionally find intimacy outside of the marriage. But with two young kids you'd risk a lot (like not raising them)... and sad, to say, you could end up in a second marriage with even more problems (like eventual intimacy problems AGAIN! and step-children that hate you... yikes!!! I've seen that one waaaaay too often!).

Try to hang in there buddy. I think the problem you are describing is pretty common in marriages with young children (and yeah, at 6 and 3 your kids are still young!).


There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
