My wife and I have been married for about four years now and we have a five years old son. We have not had sex in the last six months,and the last time we were making love I wanted to go longer and she just told me "lets just get it over with".She doesn't see anything wrong with not having sex for six months and she just thinks of it as a "dry spell".Also she tries to thinks of everything under the sun to justify us not having sex for six months such as our son waking us up early in the morning,her busy job(she a lawyer and I am a bartender),family issues(my mother has Alzheimer),etc. I tried talking to her about and just asking her how come we don't have sex anymore,and she says we do have sex(even though the last time was six months ago) I don't know what to do anymore. Can someone please give me some advice?

I think you need marital therapy... Also examine your relationship. When is the last time you went out on a "date". what do you do romantically in the relationship? when is the last time you gave her a card thats says "I love you"? When is the last time you went out to a movie or dinner etc, just the two of you? Do you do anything around the house? cook, clean, take care of the child? Are you getting slopy at home, do you dress nice in front of her?, think about what attracted her to you originally, get back to being romantic and a persuer

Hard to know what's really going on, but it sounds like she's just not into you anymore, but hasn't gotten around to deciding to divorce you.

This is alienation of affection. Six months without sex? Good chance she's cheating and if she's not, it's still alienation of affection.

It's the exact plotline from Sex and the City. And actually - he was the one who cheated on her because she was too much of a workaholic to have sex with him and relax a bit. They went to therapy and worked out their problems. Happy ending!

OP and his wife have to meet on the Brooklyn Bridge to make it work, though.

Not everybody watched that show, and the OP's premise doesn't sound farfetched. Let's not jump to conclusions, please.
