Husband unable to fulfil the wife's desires
Question
My question is that my husband is unable to fulfil my sexual desire. He feels tired and sick and he is 20 years older than me. My question is in this condition should I live with my husband where I feel a lot of thirst for sex however we have a son.
Answer
If you cannot manage then respectfully request him to separate from you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
