My wife does not seem interested in sex (or at least not with me) and I don't know what to do to get her back into bed.
We've never exactly been 'swing from the chandeliers' types (though I'm up for being a lot more adventurous than she is) but we've only had intercourse ONCE in the past 7 years!!!
There are all the usual excuses when I try to talk to her about it (eg. we've got kids, I've got housework to do, it's the middle of the night/day, I'm tired, women don't have the same appetites, etc., etc.) and when I do try to raise the subject, she just goes straight into 'victim' mode, asks "why's it my fault" and storms off. And note here that I am open to listening and modifying my behaviour, looks, approach, etc. to make her happy, but I've tried everything from 'softly, softly, kissy-wissy, let's make beautiful love' through to more of a 'hey babe, fancy a f***?', but nothing seems to work.
There's the occasional handjob or blowjob (we're talking average once a month here) but I get the impression that's more because once a month or so SHE feels horny and wants to rub one out herself and does me as a kind of 'favour' when she's finished.
Sex seems totally mechanical to her, where she doesn't seem to need the sight or touch of a man to get off, she just spends 15 minutes with a finger or battery powered friend, goes from A to O as quickly as possible and that's her done for the next few weeks.
I've really tried to be as understanding and forgiving as possible re. all the excuses and even went for a vasectomy last year to ease any unwanted pregnancy anxieties, but she's still not been near me.
What do I do, as I can't go on like this for ever?
