writes: I am a 34 year old woman and have been married to an otherwise wonderful man for 6 years. I yearn for children and (I thought) my husband did too. I have been off the pill for 5 years now with no luck. The biggest problem is that we haven't had sex in almost 5 months.
I have changed my appearance in the last couple years to gain his attention: have lost weight and go to the gym often. My husband has gained a considerable amount of weight and I think he's too embarassed to have sex. I can't seem to get him to stick with any diet or exercise program and he makes me feel like I'm nagging when I mention it.
I am also very social, however, my husband has become withdrawn and plays video games for hours on end. It's a chore to get him to do anything or go anywhere with me. What more can I do? I feel my biological clock ticking but he doesn't seem to care.
Thank you for your advice

Your husband should realize that a game is a game ultimately and reality is
reality. You have to get that through his head somehow because games doesn't
put food on the tables. Nothing wrong relaxing and etc though through
playing video games but it could be an addiction and habit if prolonged.
Treat him like a child if any case, limit the time available to game use and
make him more aware that there is a reality world for him. Have him rehab
back into the real world gradually and he should be off the stuffs like
drugs. As for sex, if he wont be the one coming onto you then be aggresssive
and come onto him even if its forcefully he would submit perhaps. I would
say this problem would require time for him to reabilitate back to reality
and refocus what he needs to do in life before he can do much gaming.
I hope my advice proves any use to you and may you find the guiding light to
the answers you seek~
