My wife of almost thirty years seems more like a roommate than a wife. She shows almost no affection unprompted and even when prompted she is halfhearted about it.
I try to kiss her or touch her hand when we are close but it seems to aggravate her.
We work opposite shifts which was great when the kids were in school. She got the kids on the bus in the morning and I took care of evening duties. We often joked that not seeing each other was the reason we were able to stay together.
We are intimate less than once a month and honestly, when it happens, it is less than satisfying. Unfortunately it has been like this for years. When we were dating and newly married we were very active in the bedroom. Especially when she decided she wanted to get pregnant. Now I really believe if she could somehow convince me once a year is enough she would try.
I’m too young for this to be happening and I have tried to talk to her about it which ends in me being called names and her ignoring me for days. I tried to suggest counseling with the same result.
I am really not happy and need to know if it is worth asking for a divorce.
TL:DR
Should I ask my wife for a divorce due to lack of intimacy?
