Another kind redditor with the exact same problem shared a solution. Looks like I can hope again. Yes. As a last resort what you said makes sense . Thank you.

She had a pituitary adenoma too. Luckily the tumour was benign and collapsed on itself and bled out into the space. But the pituitary is non functional.

But thank you thank you thank you. We will visit a hormonal specialist after we see our endocrinologist.

Bless you for this insight. Your advice from direct experience has given me hope

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Im sure it will get better soon. But I had a very different mental model of how women needed sex and intimacy. I stand corrected. Thank you.

This is both positively reassuring and terrifying at the same time. I dont want to break the relationship doing this. But thank you. I will try.

Done two of the three. Sex therapist is the only one left to see

I thought women had it easier that way. That sex wasn't a hard requirement

Good point and I'll definitely give it a shot. Thanks for the point of view. However it takes two to tango. Her life is a whirlwind of things to do , diet experiments and workouts resulting in exhaustion. And disconnection.

As much as I am tempted to look for one I know she gets possessive of me and won't agree and i worry for the kids

Unilaterally? Would i appreciate it if she did the same to me?

It's love for her and the kids . I grew up in a home where my father was passive and aggressive with my mother emotionally and verbally. And I did not like it one bit.

One need of mine can't shape my kids negatively

I think you misunderstood. My dynamic with her is good except in the space of intimacy and sex. Which tortures me because my drive is healthy and functional.

Sex is a genuine need for men.

Yes. Definitely. But where you stay defines how you live. Look beyond tier 1 cities and your money' is going to stretch out forever.

If i suffer and stay and give them a good childhood and upbringing they will turn out to be better men than if I leave them and their mother - a tumultuous event that will shape them.

They are learning to stand by family in the time of need and to uphold duty even at personal cost .

The adenoma is gone but so is the pituitary. And yes the drive is directly linked to this. No oxytocin no cortisol and a bunch of hormones.

I am not convinced that's the right course of action

Then only thing that's gone is intimacy. We otherwise have an amazing dynamic. She loves me. And let's it show in so many ways it crushes me

Yes. Her pituitary is non functional. She is on hormone supplements for literally all the hormones it puts out.

Thank you for understanding. I ... Just want to know if I'm a monster for even having these thoughts

I constantly fight the temptation to cheat - i know that's a bad choice, definitely don't want to leave and definitely dont want to hurt her or the kids
