My husband just started new medication. One of the possible side effects is a lower sex drive. Is it selfish of me to hope he gets this side effect?

Right now, sex is not something we "share", it is something he does to me.

I feel so guilty wishing for him to have a lower sex drive, but I really need a break from his demands so that I have a chance to heal.

I think we would have a better chance at healing out marriage if sex was temporarily out of the equation...and then I feel selfish again.

I want to fulfill his needs, but sometimes it is just too much!
