Wife with MS
The story
We'll go months without sex quite frequently......not I do the cooking the cleaning, the running of the kid...... anything involving getting off the couch. She does till work. However it's come down to sex ever 3-6 months. It honestly breaks my heart sometimes when the kids at a sleepover or something else and I get shot down....like crushing. I feel like I'm just here to be the house servent most of the time and miss the connection to both physically and emotionally.....but fuck me what am I gonna do leave my wife with MS because I'm basically the unloved servant.....and what does that say to my daughter.....mostly I think this is my life now, and I love her......but my heart breaks daily because of it.....not sure if anyone else has the same but best of luck to you if you do you're not alone.

It sounds like you're dealing with an incredibly challenging situation, and it's totally understandable to feel overwhelmed. Caring for a partner with MS while managing the household responsibilities is no small task, and it's commendable that you're juggling so much.

Remember, reaching out for support is not only beneficial but also necessary at times.
