Should I leave my wife for not having sex with me?

My wife has decided that sex is no longer part of our relationship anymore after our last kid together. It has been quite some time after the baby and she has decided that there is no sex. If I try to broach the subject she gets agro and calls me "selfish". I am slipping into a bout of depression about it and as much as I love her, I feel like I need to leave, but I love my 2 kids. I am a pretty good looking 34yo guy and she admits she is still heavily attracted to me, and I do get my share of girls coming up to me, I cant bear to think not having my kids around me, but if its a sexless relationship, then I feel maybe its time to let go...

You guys need a marriage counselor or sex therapist. Sex is a very important part of a relationship. It creates a bond and closeness that nothing else can.

A healthy couple in their 30's shouldn't be abandoning sex. There are obviously some underlying issues that she needs to deal with. Be patient with her.

have you tried asking her why she feels that way? maybe she feels unattractive, or undesireable? I know that hormones also plays a part I it as well. you should tell her how you feel. your NOT being selfish, that is a part of bein married. sex is not only for the physical pleasure but for the intimacy of being with your partner and sharing yourself in that deep emotional bond.
you should try asking your family doctor, 'because it comes down to her being the one that's selfish. & it would be different if you both came to this agreement and you knew all along, but esp. when your married and your used to that, and your body starts to crave that type of attention. she's not being fair to you, and this involves both of you. you both need to talk, and if she doesn't want to or dismisses you it's possible she's hiding something.

you need to do what's best for you, you can still be a good father, but you need to ask yourself, "is it worth it? am I happy bein in this relationship? can we work through it?"

first and foremost is birth control against you religion and maybe she is afraid of getting pregnant again? Second she is calling you selfish because you want to have marital relations, she is also being selfish and needs to be made aware of this. Ask her what about sex makes her not want to have it anymore. After all this has been tried a lot of couples eventually do swinging and have a dont ask dont tell rule. It is this way that everyone wins as long as everyone is upfront about the situation. Also maybe consider getting a vasectomy so that she does not have to take birth control and still will not get pregnant. This is better because birth control actually kills the cells that cause reporducing so it as seen as murder by a lot of religions while a vasectomy prevents it fom happening all together. Good luck and let me know what happens
