In this Dear DSO, a military husband opens up about his wife emotionally and physically checking out of their marriage. After three kids, mood swings, and now being on SSRIs for anxiety, she’s not the same woman he married. No sex for nine months. He does 95% of the parenting while she’s glued to her phone and in nursing school. Is he being anxious… or is it time to walk?

We talk about the mental health toll, the “mom bot” transformation, the impact of meds on libido, and what men in this position can realistically do. You’re not alone.
