DEAR DEIDRE: SEX with my husband used to be fantastic, but we have not made love for four years. He won’t even kiss or cuddle me.
We are 35 and have been married for ten years. We were so happy – then he suddenly stopped wanting sex.
I hoped it was temporary and we would be OK. He is always caring and kind. But when it comes to romance, he just walks away.
I am hurt and upset. I tried talking to him but he will not confide in me. He says he is getting medical help but I see no sign of it.
DEIDRE SAYS: It sounds as if he is suffering from erection problems or loss of sex drive.
Both can be a symptom of an underlying medical problem that needs sorting, so tell him you love him and he must see his GP.
My e-leaflet on Reviving A Man’s Sex Drive will help you talk more openly.
Tell him you both needs lots of hugs and cuddles, even if sex is off-limits for now.
