I am having to cheat on my wife as she denies me intimacy

DEAR DEIDRE: SEX with my wife is non-existent, so I joined a dating website as I felt I was missing out.

I made several “friends with benefits”, but I’ve discovered it’s not the answer.

I am 45 and my wife is 41.

We have been together for 12 years and have a daughter aged seven.

Everything is good in our relationship apart from the lack of sex.

I get very frustrated.

I am not a sex maniac or someone who wants sex all the time.

I just want a normal sex life.
