Darrell Goodliffe agony auntWell you obviously desired him sexually at some point - you had his child. I think in focusing on the sex, trying to improve your libido, etc your missing the point, the point is the water under the bridge, the issues that arose during your period of depression and this is a trust and intimacy issue.

The other possibility is that he is just two perfect for you and that is the problem. Maybe you like a bit of excitement and danger in your sex and stability and safety in your relationship. Maybe it would help if he didnt give you everything you wanted but was prepared to be a bit more assertive, indeed this could be what has changed in this relationship and why the sexual spark is gone.

I think the best advice i can give is that you need to look in different places to your own libido for the root cause, you need to assess what has changed here, how you went from the place where you bore a child to him, so obviously had sexual interest to this place where that seems to have vanished.
