THANK YOU

When our sex life died you helped us reignite our spark

READ Dear Deidre Editor Sally Land's personal replies to today's problems.

DEAR DEIDRE: I WROTE to you because my wife had gone off sex completely.

She’d just given birth to our youngest son and was experiencing issues with her mental health for the first time. 

I’m 33 and she’s 34.

It didn’t take long for our sex life to stop and it felt like we were friends, not lovers.

Whilst I supported my wife, my head was being turned by my younger colleague.

I didn’t want to cheat but I was missing the affection and intimacy we’d once shared.

You advised me to speak to her about how I was feeling when things were calm and quiet.

You sent me your support packs Standing Up For Yourself, Sex Problems After A Baby and Reviving A Woman’s Sex Drive.

I followed your advice and things are now slowly looking brighter. My wife began getting help for her mental health issues and our sex life is now back on track. 

Thank you Deidre for helping us.
