| I’m only at 15 years, but we have one kid with profound autism/intellectual disability and the other kid had brain cancer. I sincerely hope things never get worse than that. Brain cancer kid is fine now — knock on wood. |

Sexless last three years. Went from 2x a month, then once a month and now, gone
Horrible, it destroys your sense of self and any desire to grow old together. I deal with it by taking care of myself and doing the math on how I can afford to leave and not totally disrupt my kids future |
