No, but that is a good point. I will definately try to get my wife to go to counseling with me before doing anything hasty. The problem is that my wife doesn't see any problem at all. To her, I'm just selfish for thinking about sex while she is ill. She has refused to go to counseling with me, and I hesitate to go alone because of the cost and because of the finality: I see it as a last effort before a divorce, and I'm trying to prevent that and yet starting to embrace it at the same time. The ambivalence is entirely in my heart. In my head, I know that I'd end any relationship where the affection wasn't mutual regardless of love; but loyalty combined with the fact that I really do still love my wife as much today as when we were married combine to muddle my decision. More than anything I'm not looking for advice, but reassurance that I'm not just a cold-hearted coward or a selfish jerk for wanting to escape from a difficult situation.
