ive been married for 24 years and when we 1st got married and even before the s*x was great. as years went by our s*x life started to slow down. with kids and all ( 5 to be exact) anyway, now my wife is sick and on lots of meds(as i am too) but now she never wants to have s*x. its like i have to break her arm to get her to have s*x. she says that her "s*x drive" is gone and says that i go through stages like that to. we dont even sleep in the same bed and havent for almost 5 years. right before our last child was born she started sleeping in a chair in the living room and then about 6 or 8 months later i started sleeping in the living room in a chair too.(bad back ) but anyway we maybe have s*x 2 maybe 3 if im lucky times a month. It use to be earth shattering even after 20 years but now its like she acts like its a pain just to get in bed and s***w. we use to be really sexual, doing all kinds of kinky stuff but now if i bring it up she thinks that im being childish. i disagree with her. i think things like that spice up your s*x life and age isnt really a big deal. but she does. im seeing a counsler for my depression etc, and i tell him aboutwhats going on at home and in the bedroom. my wife was nice and trim and in shape when we met and very s**y, but over the years she's put on lots of weight I dont mean a little i mean a bunch and is the biggest she's ever been since we've been married. she blames the drugs and i say she's just using them as an excuse. she wont get up and exercise cause she says that when she does that it makes her hurt more and more and then ends up in a flare and sleeps all the time. i just am getting to the point that i sometimes just want to leave. ive threatened before but always stay anyway because i guess that i still love her but want the old girl that i marriied back(i know thats not possible) but i want someone who will at least go and do stuff with me. the house is a mess and she doesnt do anything. she makes my 21 year old do all the house work and most of the time my 21 year old takes her younger sisters to school and drives them around and when the kids are sick almost always i have to take off of work and take them to the doc. i take off work to take her to the doctor too. and when i go to the doc she hardly ever goes. I am so tired of what seems like wasting my life away and staying with someone who is depressed all the time(even though she claims she's not) but i know she is and my therapist tells me i should think about leaving her and taking the kids with me. but im afaid that if i did that she would die. so i dont know what to do. i feel obligated to her since we've been married for so long HELP
ME PLEASE. am i just a jerk for feeling this way or am i right
