Dear Abby: My wife is the love of my life. She is, and always has been, my dream girl. We used to have sex three or four times a week, but since her hysterectomy, she no longer desires sex.
She’s OK with scheduling sex on a certain date, but most of the time she doesn’t follow through because she doesn’t think about it, and I feel unwanted and undesired. Other than this issue, she is the woman for me. She makes me happy. She is very supportive and makes sure I’m taken care of in every other way.
I am a sexual person. My past relationships were all passionate, and I feel more like a man after a good romp. Am I thinking too much about this? She’s perfect in every way except for her lack of sex drive. I have never cheated on her, and I am not considering divorce, so what can I do?

Dear Deprived,
Talk with your wife and tell her everything you have written to me. It may be time for the two of you to schedule a consultation with her gynecologist to discuss this. People’s sex drives are hormone-driven, and there may be a medical remedy for this problem.
However, if there isn’t, it might be helpful for your wife to put a recurring reminder on her calendar about scheduling sex with you.
