Both depression and anxiety can affect sex drive
My wife suffering from depression, she is nice and I love her
Her age… She might be having hormonal changes as well. She should seek personal counciling ad well as having marriage counseling and be evaluated for early menopause. Sounds like she is using avoidance as a coping mechanism to reduce stress, this is a common reaction but as you see in the long term is not healthy (it can be good for short term). If she uses avoidance then bringing up painful or stressful topics will drive her away (I am like this), try approaching her with positive things, like I want you to be happy, offer to find and make the appointment as depression is a big de-motivator. And finally realize that you can not force her to seek help, she might be unwilling to try.

I drove 35 miles to give my wife her favorite cup of coffee because she was tired, but mainly do do something nice for her. I left a text message that I had a surprise for her. She called when she was heading away from her client. I let her know immediately upon answering that I was seven minutes out. Inead, she sounded irritated that I was making her late. I said to continue to her next client and forget the surprise. She called back and wait. When I gave bher the coffee, her response was why would I do that. So I sorta lied and said it was because she was tired and didn’t want her to fall asleep. When really it’s because I like doing nice things for her. Am I misreading the [email protected]

I realized then that if bI had to explain that I love her and care how she is doing, that it’s me who didn’t get the message till I realized later that she doesn’t love me anymore
In our 5 year marriage we are blessed with 2 kids, but when she is so much depressed she abuse me so much whether at home or in public, most a time she ask for a divorce which I think is not real because if I try to talk to her about divorce she usually show some remorse about what she ask for, I tried to understand her situation but she never see anything good in it. I am really supering
