DEAR DEIDRE: We were engaged to be married, but all of a sudden my fianc\u00e9e went off sex.<\/p>\n
I was frustrated, then upset when I discovered the reason why \u2014 she was having sex with an ex.<\/p>\n
That was more than 20 years ago but the memory still leaves me feeling low and vulnerable.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m 48 now and my wife is 49. We managed to sort out our relationship because I confronted her and she came clean, begging my forgiveness.<\/p>\n
She said she had panicked about settling down. Her parents didn\u2019t have a good relationship, and she was worried about locking herself into a miserable future.<\/p>\n
Since then we both worked hard at our marriage and have had years of happiness with our son and daughter.<\/p>\n
But recently my wife has been rejecting me again and doesn\u2019t want to have sex any more.<\/p>\n
Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.<\/p>\n

If I try to touch her, she freezes and pulls away. It\u2019s killing me.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s bringing back awful memories of when she cheated before.
I want to know if she is avoiding sex with me because she is sleeping with another man, just like she did all those years ago.<\/p>\n
On the occasions she agrees to have sex, I feel she\u2019s doing it because she feels sorry for me, or sees it as a way to divert my suspicions.<\/p>\n
What can I do?<\/p>\n
In a way I don\u2019t want to ask her if she\u2019s being unfaithful again, because I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll cope with that reality for a second time. It was so awful the first time around.<\/p>\n
DEIDRE SAYS: At 49 it is very likely that your wife is perimenopausal.<\/p>\n One of the most common symptoms is a lowered sex drive.<\/p>\n Many women also experience pain when having intercourse because the change in hormones results in vaginal dryness.<\/p>\n So rather than jump to the worst conclusion, start to talk to your wife and ask her about how she is feeling.<\/p>\n It would also be good to encourage your wife to visit her doctor and discuss hormone replacement treatment.<\/p>\n Panicking silently won\u2019t help anyone, so let her know you are missing the intimacy you once shared.<\/p>\n All couples will experience fluctuations in their libidos which is completely normal.<\/p>\n Stress, depression, health changes, or problems in the relationship can all affect how a couple are connecting sexually.<\/p>\n My support pack Different Sex Drives explains more.<\/p>\n<\/picture>DEAR DEIDRE <\/span><\/p>\n
