Published on July 8, 2019, a woman shared her story of frustration with her husband's lack of drive and ambition. She has been the sole provider for their family for over 10 months, while her husband has not lifted a finger to contribute.

Despite her efforts to help him find a job and start a business, he has shown little enthusiasm and has not taken any initiative to improve their situation. The woman is feeling resentful and bitter, and wonders if she should leave him or try to help him change.

She has tried counseling, but it has not helped. She is feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, and is not sure what to do. She is considering separation, but is not sure if that is the right decision.

She has been married for over 25 years and has five children, but her husband has refused to have sex with her since the birth of their last child eight years ago. He claims that he will never have sex with her again because she only gives birth, and that they will live like that until they die.

The woman is feeling hurt and frustrated, and wonders what she can do to resolve the issue. She is considering seeking counseling or talking to her husband about the problem, but is not sure if that will help.
