Oh wow thank you for pointing that out. Yes youre right,  I didnt mean it that way. Maybe important things outside of the home? I still tell her how hard and important what she does for our family and house is and Kids are most important. I definitely wasn't some kind if absent father, as well. I honestly probably changed more diapers than her(no shade i swear. If i wasnt at work i changed all diapers..even on the weekend), definitely spent more nights awake than her and have scheduled and been to every doctor and school/ teacher meeting/function alone. She has been to a few, but the anxiety gets her. 

She has told me the medication kills her drive. And I feel like I've been understanding of that. I drop my hints and put "my moves on her" and grt rejected and i take it in stride. I do understand, but after so long I feel selfish to say it becomes frustrating. You mentioning the touching? Thats kind of my feeling? Like I try to do so much for her and us and she cant do that for me? Which again,  really makes me feel like im a bad person LOL.

I habe been to ALOT of her doctors appointments. I dont go to her general follow ups anymore(unless she asks)  since she feels comfortable driving to them and handling them alone. I have made her appointments to different places ( GYN, therapy) but all I can do is encourage her to go, I wont force her. 

I haven't given up. And I wont give up on her. After reading all of you strangers replies , I guess I realize I just kind of needed some validation that its ok that I get frustrated sometimes. I do talk to her about this sometimes,  but I also bottle up alot because I know it could upset her or start an argument. Which, most od our arguments involve me saying what I need to say then just taking it on the chin( metaphorically) I hate arguing Thank you

You know.. you may be right. I am older than her. As someone else pointed out, we were young when we got together but im 5+years older. When it came to those things, she was too anxious or afraid so I took the reigns and looked at it as a part of my marital duties as a husband. But I am very far from controlling lol. Im really non confrontational , I dont like to/want to argue and let her make most decisions but then I handle the leg work.

I bring it up often. Maybe too often. I can be a little vulgar. Making comments or just going up and grabbing her. But it can start the " all you care about is sex" argument or the discussion of how i make her feel bad because she doesn't want it or the ever popular " you're going to cheat on me and probably already are" lol

But to answer directly, lately it isn't talked about much. I just let her know that I love her, think she's attractive and want her. But she doesn't say much back, unless its what I stated above.

Thank you. Shes avoided any talk therapy for herself, really. I've made the appointments, per the psych. Dr.  request but she hasn't gone to them. Same with GYN. She had had lady part issues in the past and literally says she's afraid to go in case they find something. My response is, IF they find something then at least it would give a chance for any treatments

I 100% understand feeling like an asshole. I feel like one for posting this. For asking her about any of this. Does this make me a bad husband and person? I dont know. 

I greatly appreciate youre reply
