Couples Therapy for Middle Aged Couple

I am 47 and thinking about divorce now after 14 years of marriage. Now I'm sure that we weren't meant for each other, but we have a 13-year-old kid. Which makes it really hard for me to go with the divorce.

What's driving me to get the divorce is that we had no sex for the past 2 years. And we tried everything including several sessions at a nearby clinic that provides couples therapy( drmtherapy.com/couples-ther... ). She quit after 2 sessions but I'm still doing it. And I think it's good.

She says, she got no feeling or desire. Which is hard for me to swallow.

So, my question is; Is this a good enough reason to go ahead with the divorce?

Or should I stay for my son's sake

Difficult one, Rob. If you've discussed the problem and she still comes back with the reason that she feels nothing, it kinda points at a 'failure' ( in her mind) that it's all about you. If that's the case, there's not much that can be easily rescued in your relationship and a divorce/separation might be the answer.

If, on the other hand, she has a problem with sexual feelings and reactions, she might find therapy would help (on her own) and even tantric sex sessions which could help her investigate her own feelings and reactions and desires.

Try something else like that...then see how you both feel about the future.

Good luck. Hope things get sorted.
