I have Anxiety, Guilt, and Depression because I want a different life than what I have

CosmicGecko222 November 22nd, 2019

I have a wife that I love and 3 step children who are almost all grown. My wife also has a Multiple Schlrosis type illness. Our relationship is mostly spiritual and intellectual....we never have sex...that has just never really interested me. I tend to be A-sexual. She, however, has an extremely high sex drive.

I have anxiety because I fear she will want to leave me or replace me...we have agreed to an open, polyamorous relationship, which I don't really believe in but allow because I feel it's not right to deny her sexual fulfillment just because I don't want sex.

I have guilt because I feel I would be better off on my own working seasonal jobs in National Parks and resorts and thru-hiking the Appaachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails. This conflicts with my anxiety, obviously.

And all of this...my whole life situation depresses me to no end....some times I just want to cry uncontrolablly and block the whole world out and forget it exists.

I don't know if anything can help or if I can expect anything different than the life I have.

@CosmicGecko222 Why you didn't fulfilment her desire, she want it in order to increase your relationship. But you avoid it, then escapis reality. you take other option with other than you to fulfilment her desire. You should understand his desire and stopping your escapism route! sometime she will left you, if you didn't understand her desire againt!
