isn't the right forum for this thread, but after looking at the other forums, this one was the one I was more comfortable coming to.
I am experiencing a difficult period in my personal life and am struggling with all the mixed emotions I'm having.
My wife and I have both been dealing with her Crohn's disease for our entire married life together and the reality that it was worse than we'd been led to believe has taken a toll on both of us.
I still love her with all my heart, but due to her illness, it looks like we are headed toward a sexless marriage and I'm sad one minute and angry the next.
We have had a fairly good sex life and the probability of it coming to an end is hard for me to fathom.
Masturbation doesn't even come close to satisfying me even when her hands are the ones doing it.
I get angry at myself for wanting what we had in the past and then feel guilty when I do. My rational mind knows its not her fault and there's nothing she can do about her illness, but the selfish dirty, old man inside me wants to blame somebody and she's the one that's here.
How do I stop thinking this way?
Please, understand, I'm not asking for a pity party or any of that "Be a man and not a wuss" crap, but actual concerned advice about how to deal with not only this but the possibility that the woman I've loved for the past thirty three years may die at any moment.
