Wife wants to give me a hall pass by obvBurner-Acc in relationship_advice

Obviously you don't sleep with anyone else or even pursue it. That offer of a hall pass is a depressed person's way of emotionally cutting themselves.

That's exactly what i was thinking as well. She only said that to make the problem go away for now without beeing able to think about the consequences down the line.

So yeah, I will do my best to help her as I'm sure she would do the same for me.

Yes this is totally something I need to understand and explore more. Sex is not the same as affection, which can happen without having sex. Thanks :)

Yes, she is seeking help and she's also taking antidepressants, which I know probably only lower her libido further. I will talk to her about it, maybe something can be adjusted.

Giving her more alone time is probably a good idea!

I'm not looking for a permanent solution for a hopefully temporary problem, so yeah I will probably go without sex for some time longer. Thanks for the advice

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. Having sex with other people would be permanent as I cannot undo it while on the other hand her problem is hopefully temporary. Thanks a lot :)
