DEAR DEIDRE: I LOVE my wife to bits but sex with her is virtually non-existent as her libido has hit rock bottom.
We have been married for eight years and have a great relationship until it comes to being intimate.
I am 39 and my wife is 38. We have two boys aged six and four.
I have tried to talk to her about it many times, but she just changes the subject.
I know it is wrong and would never act on it, but I have been thinking about having sex with other women.
My wife is on the mini-pill, and I can’t help but wonder if this has anything to do with her lack of interest in sex.

Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained councillors.
Deidre says: Yes, your wife may be experiencing a lower libido as a result of her medication, so encourage her to see her doctor and ask to try alternatives.
Another explanation could be that she feels taken for granted as a mum and housewife.
Or is the sex not so great for her?
Kissing and cuddling with no pressure to have sex will start restoring intimacy.
My support pack Reviving A Woman’s Sex Drive should help too.
