DEAR DEIDRE: MY fiancé won’t have sex with me and I’m convinced it’s because I have put on some weight.

We are both 40. He has always said a relationship is more than sex but we haven’t been intimate in months.

Whenever I try to initiate sex he will  refuse with no explanation, or say he’s too tired and go to sleep.

I’ve put on a few pounds recently and it seems that our sex life got worse as soon as this happened.

He has denied it but won’t talk about it either. He even said I can either go without it, or we split up.

I’m not sure what to do any more. How can I solve this issue?

DEIDRE SAYS: It is not realistic for him to expect you to put up with a sexless relationship.

Worse, if he won’t speak about this, then things aren’t going to improve.

Tell him you need to understand what is going on but if things still remain the same then you have a decision to make.

As brutal as he was, his summary was spot on.
