Hi I am new here. A year and a half ago, or sex life came to an abrupt stop. My husband all of a sudden decided he didnt need or want sex anymore. . . I have shrugged it off as stress on his part because he got a job as a fireman 2 years ago. Thats when everything started going downhill. I know he is not having an affair, because I know where he is all the time. Im at my witts end. i wonder if there is something better out there for me or do I stay with him and ride it out and wait for him to wake up and smell the coffee. I need advice please!!! Thanks




Hi Sugarbugz:

Welcome to the board, although I'm sorry your situation brings you here.

From your message it seems like you've hit the nail on the head. I imagine that your H's profession is one of the most stressful there is. I'm not familiar with benefits offered to firefighters, but might there be an avenues open to your H to help deal with the stress involved?

I don't think it will suddenly happen without help and from the rundown you gave us it sounds like the stress of his new job is getting to him.

Keep posting and try to read The Sex-Starved Marriage. It contains a lot of useful information.

Good luck,
