We used to be happy.
I’d had a painful divorce and she made me feel wanted and loved.
But six years ago she was diagnosed with MS.
We haven’t had sex in five years, as she says it hurts her for days afterwards.
I am not happy in a sexless marriage and feel so trapped.

DEIDRE SAYS: This is sad for you both.
The demands of living with an ill or disabled partner can take a huge toll, as life seems to be all about meeting their needs.
But could you really be happy knowing you had left her to struggle alone?
She sounds to have given you caring love when you needed it.
You can both find support and practical suggestions from the MS Society (0808 800 8000, ).
