My wife won't have anything to do with me in bed,

Hi Ben,

I’m sorry to hear about your stroke. It’s great to hear that you’ve made such a positive physical recovery.

No matter how challenging the changes are that you're facing, you and your partner may transition and adjust to continue your intimate relationship. Professional counselling can help and give you both an opportunity to talk about your feelings and the changes in the relationship caused by the stroke.
