Maybe his seizure medication can be adjusted so as not to interfere as much with his libido. If his testosterone is low and his estrogen level is high, he may not have the libido to respond very much, no matter how sexy and pretty you are. Nobody may have explained what his medications are doing to him, so he may not even know something is wrong.

Were you happy with this marriage from the beginning or did you want to find your own spouse, but was told it had to be this way by your family?

What is being sexually satisfied in your marriage to you? How often and what types of sex?

I'm sorry you are frustrated. I hope a good solution can be found.

i was knowing that marriage is undertsanding each other and adjustment..had been adjusting teh entire time..including the sex ...we do sex 2 times a yaer or soo.or at teh most 5 times a year..and we had been sleeping seprate after the baby...and he with medication and other issues...I STARTED THINKING SERIOUSLY ABT DIVORCE IS THAT WRONG?

Do you and your husband just fool around at times, playing with each others bodies? I think if you both did, you wouldn't be having sex only 2 to 5 times a year.

What is your financial situation and what will it be after divorce? Your social status?

Can you enlist family to get him to be more attentive?

i'm indian too, so i can definitely see how u feel about this whole thing and stigma that our conservative societies tend to put on divorce. do you live in a western country or do u live in India still?

you mentioned that your husband is now willing to seek therapy is that right? it might work. definitely give it a shot before u think of splitting...that will be tough on you and the kid.

now the most important thing is your husband's general attitude towards you and marriage. does he respect you otherwise? or does he view you more as just a baby-making factory with no needs or desire of your own or needs/desires which are irrelevant?

if he has little regard for you outside of the bedroom, and its been 6 years, there's a good likelyhood he's not going to change. even if he does change it will take a lot of work.

in that case you prolly should consider leaving because you're still young and thats no way live, child or no child. thats just my opinion. and i can tell you personally, a single parent home is better than a home with a broken marriage. especially if you live in the US or Canada.
