Thanks for the response Karen.

I'm 42, she's 37. We haven't done any counselling because my wife doesn't think there's a problem. She's a full time mum by choice. I work but not stupid hours and quite a lot from home so I'ma round to help out. Frankly I've been told to get out of the way as she sees the kids as her job.

Apart from the SSM I don't think there's any other problems but them maybe I need to ask!

The LD came on as we had kids. I wondered in the past if it was because she got pregnant so easily -I mean really straight away every time. It's not as if she didn't want kids she did /does and being a mum is what she really wants to be / do.
But as soon as she became pregnant she became LD each time and although it came back a bit after the first one, it hasn't come back at all after the 3rd arrived & the second came along when we did it once in two years.
To ensure this wasn't a problem for her when she decided 3 kids was enough I had a VOP.

Yes we are both healthy. One possible contribution in this area is that she's gained a bit of extra curves over the years, which I don't have a problem with, but in the past she has said in a homoursly put way (but probably seriously thinks this) 'If I feel fat then your not getting any'.

I'm trying hard not to push for sex at the moment, just being affectionate....
