I just joined today and need to unload a little. Thanks in advance for reading. My wife and I have been married for 6 years and together for 7. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago. Ever since, our marriage has gone downhill. She takes multiple prescriptions for various ailments. She is in the bed everyday at 7:00pm. I cook, clean, wash clothes, do outside work....and we only have sex about once every 2 months. I'm 38 and she's 48. Sex has always been an issue, even before diagnosis of cancer. Sex isn't the issue though, I do everything around the house feel like I give and give an give without any reciprocation. I don't know what to do. I will listen to any advice.

What happenned with the breast cancer?

Is she really so sick that she needs to go to sleep at 7 pm?

This is a lot to do with how sick she is and what the medications she's on are doing to her.

More detail is needed.

Appstate, my wife went through breast cancer when she was 40. There was a long period of depression. She fought it very well and over came it. We had a good support structure that she could lean on. Yes, taking care of everything was hard but that's what I signed up for.

But, I think your wife's depression has gone on too long. You need to get her help. Has she had any counseling? Did she join any support groups? How about her family of friends, are they supportive?

How extensive was the surgery and long were the treatments? Did she have reconstruction? Do you make her feel whole?
