I'm considering leaving my wife after seven years of no sex

DEAR DEIDRE: IT’S been seven years since my wife and I last had sex and I’m beginning to worry that our marriage is over.

I’m 56, she’s 52 and we’ve been together for 30 years and have one daughter.

We used to have a fantastic sex life, but now she always rolls over when we go to bed.

She’s never in the mood. I still have a strong libido, so I feel frustrated.

Whenever I’ve tried talking to her about it, she’s shut me down.

But I miss the intimacy we once shared, and I’m not sure how much longer I can go without it.

I love her more than anything and I don’t want to leave her but I’m starting to wonder if we would be better off apart.

Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.

DEIDRE SAYS: If you love her and sex is the only issue then there is no reason to leave her.

Many women start their menopause around their early 50s and loss of libido can be one of the symptoms so it could be down to that.

I am sending you my Menopause support pack, which explains more.

Encourage your wife to visit her GP as there are treatment options available if her menopause is affecting her libido.
