We have a two-year-old daughter. Should I stay or go?

Question - (7 May 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 7 May 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I'm in a relationship with my partner and have been for 5 years. We have a 2 year old daughter. The problem is that he's working a lot and we have a lot of debt. This is putting a strain on our relationship. We've had sex about 4 times in 3 years.

Previously before I was pregnant I wasn't that well so sex wasn't really top of the list. Now I have my health back I would like to have more sex but he has little sex drive due to being tired. He has been to the doctor and due to go back.

We want different things in the bedroom. He is happy with just the normal straightforward sex, I'd like more, such as maybe trying sex toys, reading erotica, etc. That disgusts him and doesn't turn him on at all. He says he will try more and we can have more sex but I know it won't be what I'm looking for as that's just not him.

I don't know whether to leave or to stay for the sake of our daughter. Am I being too selfish? I love him and he cares for me but this is tearing me up. I know there's more out there but am I wrong to break up this relationship? I'm currently seeing a counselor but he won't go. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

it's only my opinion... I don't believe a relationship without sex works, you should be able to set each other alight every so often! tell him how you feel, if he still won't see a counsellor with you or on his own... then sadly, it's not going to work.
