This episode of "Dear DSO" addresses a common couple's issue: reduced sexual intimacy. Ralph shares a letter from Jack, a 40-year-old struggling with a near-nonexistent sex life in his 10-year marriage. Jack notes that he and his wife have been intimate five times in five years. Despite his efforts to spark romance, his wife remains uninterested, which strains their relationship.

Ralph examines the complexity of sexless marriages, focusing on Jack’s situation and suggesting practical solutions.

Ralph recommends open communication between Jack and his wife to determine if they should attempt to reconnect or explore co-parenting separately.
