Just throwing out ideas.
Son is 6 years old so its a while since being pregnant.

I still think the low sex drive to begin with is the base from this all though with other contributing factors such as:-

1. We've been through a bad patch about a year or so ago which obviouslt didnt help but we're MUCH better now.

2. Wife has suffered depression for about a year. Also, takes meds which affect sex drive.

3. Wife has also had some sort of virus for a few months now. Been back and fore doctors/hospital for a few months off works etc.

3. I've suffered with depression for about 12 years. Sometimes I guess I'm hard to put up with.

4. She always seems tired. Working part-time and looking after a child seems to wear her out. (Unfortunately, we need the income).

5. Yes, I have put on weight and have become somewhat complacement maybe. THIS IS MY FAULT. Some of you who remember my posts will know about this - I have lost 40lbs in the last year though.
