Dear Thelma: I can’t satisfy my wife's sexual needs because I'm too stressed out from work


He works from morning till late at night, and gets too tired and stressed. His wife says he's not sensitive to her needs and cannot fulfil her sexual desire.

My relationship with my wife is getting worse as we argue a lot, and we can’t seem to see eye to eye on some matters, such as sex.

She is 34 and I am 44. We used to have a good relationship. We are staying apart as she is from Indonesia and I am from Malaysia. She has a seven-year-old daughter.

At present, my financial situation is not good.
