I’m not trying to hijack this thread, but I have a similar problem. My W and I do talk about most things, but sex is the elephant in the room, impossible to ignore but not really discussed. We have had a few discussions about it, usually it is more me talking than her during these, and occasionally I write her a letter when I am trying to have her understand the seriousness of what we re discussing.

Here are the problems, reading the letter doesn’t equate to discussing it which also doesn’t equate to acting on it. Either she isn’t sincere in wanting to solve the problem, or doesn’t understand the magnitude of it.

I’m getting ready to write another letter, I have a theory that she has hypothyroidism even to the point of getting a thermometer for her to check herself (one way of diagnosing it). I have asked her to call the doctor to discuss the problem. How hard is it to pick up the phone? I’m going to write her a letter explaining how she needs to understand that here is a problem that must be fixed, but how do I encourage, beg, demand some follow up?
