Quote From: davidoff54I'm 25 years old and married a wonderful woman that I met in college. She's smart, beautiful, talented. The only problem in our marriage is that since she's been on birth control, she has NO interest in any kind of physical contact with me. Having her around even is simply killing me, she's too gorgeous to even look at. It's getting so frustrating that I have to stay away from her to even keep my head on straight. She's metioned her lack of drive to me, but acts like it's just the way things are going to be. I've never cheated on her, and love her more than I love myself. I just can't live this way. I work so hard to bring home a good income, and we're working now towards her achieving her goal of becoming a stay home mom once we have kids. I've had some weight issues in the past, which she never has, so she doesn't quite understand why her never wanting to touch me is making me feel horrible about myself. I just don't know what to do.
I'm glad to see that you want to work with your wife on this and make your relationship work. Have you considered using another type of birth control or if she insists on using the pill, having the prescription changed? It is true that being on the pill can reduce a woman's sex drive considerably, so don't take her lack of wanting sex as something about you. It sounds like she knows of her sex drive has diminished and will be willing to work with you to fix it.
You may want to do some research on your own about different types of methods of birth control there are, so when you talk to her you can have some really solid answers to the issue. Good luck and keep us posted.
