Brief Answer:
I think you need to share responsibilty

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

What you are experiencing in your relationship is common occurrence in any couple's life. The most common reason attributed for this is stress of caring a new member in family and not finding right time and privacy. The other common reason is development of depression during post partum period which occurs in around 25 % of women.

Her inability to tell you may be due to fact that XXXXXXX women do not expect that their husband will contribute to household works which may range from changing diaper to cooking food. So to make initiative you need to help her in household activities so she will be able to spare some time for relationship. You do not need to ask rather than there is need to act.

If you share the responsibility and think that above factor is not responsible than you need to explore possibility of depression in your wife. The classical symptoms of depression include sad mood, lack of sleep, appetite loss and loss of interest in almost all activities. If she had any of these symptoms seek professional help for her as treatment of depression will cure such lack of sex drive.

I hope this will help you.
If you have any more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX
Thank you for your response.

Your prediction is correct. Some time she is in depression due to small things and she is not able to mix with other people very frequently. One complain she has with me that she did not like, if I sleep in separate room. I used sleep in another bedroom due to my work and my sleeping disorder. I can not sleep if the room is not dark and there should not be any noise. Do you believe this may affect our relation? I try to help her in house work but my work never permit me to spend so much time on house hold.

I heard that if one man touch a woman body then woman feel a sensation in their body. Please correct me if I am wrong. But when I touch her she feels that I am tickling her body. There are small other things which make irritates like if I did not save properly. If I save properly then she feel that it scratching her body. I am also helpless on this :).
Adding to my previous conversation, my son age is 4+ now and I believe now she should be fine after so much time. Do you think, I should consult gynecologist for it?
Do you think any medicine can help her for the excitement?

Regards
XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
she may be afraid to lose you

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.

After going through fresh details i must inform you that it is not exactly post partum depression but the depression is present. (There is no difference in these two depressions only the name is different. when it occurs after child birth, we call it post partum upto two to three months after delivery and that is not the case here).
Whatever the name the fact is she needs help and you should seek psychiatrist consultation rather than gynaecology as none of the symptoms can be explained by gynaecological disorders.

No women like her husband in different room and that is applicable to your wife. Females in general feel more secure when they are with men and that too the one to whom they can rely.
If you sleep in different room they get fear that he is no more interested or ............. They may also develop fear of losing there husband to someone else.
These are realities no mater background or education.

In my view getting a consultation with psychiatrist will help both of you in understanding the problem as well as getting treatment.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
