I have a very difficult conundrum. My wife no longer has feelings for me, and is not interested in my needs, either physically or emotionally. We have no children, so in most circumstances, I would think that this is a slam dunk divorce case. However, several years ago, she was diagnosed with brain cancer. She was expected to die, but is doing very well, and has, in all likelihood, beaten it. She did have to have brain surgery, and the specific area of her brain that was impacted was her frontal lobe, which is associated with emotions. So at this point, she is essentially emotionally stunted, which is quite possibly the main reason for her lack of interest in me. She does depend on me financially, as her disease has also cost her her ability to work. I doubt she could have any kind of adult relationship with anyone else because I don't think she's capable. So her life without me would be miserable. But being with her under these circumstances is making me miserable. Thoughts?
