My wife walks around the house stark naked even though we’re separated – it turns me on
DEAR DEIDRE: MY wife still chooses to walk around the house stark naked but we are separated. It’s difficult not to feel turned on by her.
I’m a man of 35 and she is 31. We have a two-year-old boy together.
When my wife worked, she had a job in a petrol station but she was sacked when it became apparent that she was giving the wrong change to customers and making constant mistakes.
She was so disorganised, always losing car keys, leaving her phone on the bus and so on, and her time management was awful.
After our little boy was born, she left him home alone for ten minutes, to go out for milk, and then remembered and dashed home in a panic.
We then saw her doctor and she was referred to a consultant, and eventually she was diagnosed with ADHD.

I’ll admit, I was at the end of my rope with her and she then told me that she didn’t love me because I had been unsupportive.
We agreed to separate, but I have nowhere to go.
We have a mortgage and the only option is to sell up but part of me hopes my wife also thinks we have made a mistake and she’s tormenting me, walking around and flashing her body at me.
Should we try to make things work?
