I want to try for a baby but my wife has never been keen on sex with me

DEAR DEIDRE: I WANT to try for a baby before we’re too old but my wife has a low libido and has never been keen on sex with me.

She’s 33 and I’m 36. We’ve been married six years. The last couple of years have been hard as I was diagnosed with skin cancer. The treatment was successful and my doctor says there is no reason why I shouldn’t become a father.

My wife is a wonderful woman in so many ways and I don’t understand why she doesn’t want sex. I’d so love a child, especially after the difficult time I’ve been through.

I don’t want to push her but I have to admit I’m depressed about this.

DEIDRE SAYS: Different drives is a common cause of stress in a marriage, but if your wife doesn’t want sex at all, it’s a problem that can’t be ignored. It may go way back to before she met you.

Read my e-leaflet, Is She Not Keen On Sex? It will help you to broach the subject and gives sources of advice.
