I'm a married man of four years. My wife is bipolar. It's not an easy marriage and it is my 1st. Everything is always my fault. I can never do anything right. Sex is non-existent and has been for about 3 months now. Her excuse is she's never been 50 before and her meds affect this as well. I don't say anything about this as she'll get angry and sleep on the couch.


I moved here from the uk for her and have no way of going back which I don't want to anyway. I'm getting more and more depressed with lack of affection and no one to turn to. I feel very alone.
