My wife has put on weight and it’s turning me off sex

* My new wife and I moved abroad about a year ago to France — she has since put on nearly two stone.

We have spoken about the fact that her weight fluctuates, and how that directly corresponds to how much sex we have. When she is heavier, I am less likely to initiate sex, and neither is she, as she doesn’t feel sexy. While I continue to love her as much as I always have, I do lose sexual interest when she is bigger. I feel really bad about it — but I can’t help it.

>>Sexual chemistry may, initially, be determined by physical attraction but, by the time a relationship gets to “until death do us part”, its foundations are meant to be a little deeper.
