WHEN DIVORCE IS THE ONLY OPTION

If your intimacy levels show no sign of improvement, it could be worth discussing the future. ‘I haven’t seen many healthy marriages that have no intimacy at all,’ says Stephanie. ‘If you’re living like housemates, instead of romantic partners, at some point someone is going to realise their physical needs are not being met.’ She adds, ‘If you’re constantly frustrated and can’t find a compromise, you may simply be incompatible. That’s when you need to ask yourself if you’re happy staying in a relationship that’s not sexually satisfying.’
