[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I hear you, but I also see signs in your posts that you aren’t being very empathetic towards her. You have young kids. That’s tough. Is she getting enough sleep? Does she work outside the home? What are her home duties vs yours? If she was once happy and vibrant, she can probably be that way again. Sit down and ask her what you can do to make things better or easier for her.

It’s a bummer when your partner puts on weight - especially if you still expect her to have sex with you. My boyfriend has put on weight and it makes sex so much less enjoyable. It’s uncomfortable for me to have him on top of me and I’m resentful that he values eating and drinking too much over having good sex with me. So - one thing you should do is tell her you are going to exercise and eat better. And then do it.  [/quote]

Ugh.  Just losing weight isn’t going to help.  The weight maybe due to feeling like a tool that has no value outside the bedroom.  Perhaps, before starting therapy or when you decide on therapy, start doing little things together without the kids.  Yiu don’t have to go out, but find something.  Even doing a puzzle or playing a board game.  Start small.  I hate feeling like a part of the scenery until bedtime.[/quote]
