“We’ve been married for 26 years, but we pretty much live side by side now. My wife takes care of her elderly parents after work or is busy in the garden. In the evenings she usually falls asleep in front of the television. So we hardly have any time together. And she’s almost always too tired to have sex. I’m withdrawing more and more and doing something around the house, for example – but that can’t be the long-term solution either.”
