Masturbation When the Wife Doesn't Want To
Question
Hello Rabbi,
My wife and I have been married for a few years.
What should be done in a situation where the wife does not want relations at all, to the point that we have relations only once every two months or so?
And I really do not want to think about going, God forbid, to other women or anything in that direction at all.
I hope the question is clear. Thank you very much.
Answer
I think that if the two of you are not managing in this area, you should try therapy or counseling, and if that does not work out, then perhaps consider divorce.
