Carolyn Hax: A caregiver-spouse struggles with feelings of emptiness and resentment

Dear Carolyn: You once advised to treat an unwelcome attraction “as a cue to seek more pleasure, just non-adulterously. Something tactile, maybe — a pet, a craft — or physical, like dance or yoga.” Well, I have a spouse who is incapable of having any physical intimacy, and dogs, and yoga classes. And all I have left is emptiness and resentment and a goal of not dumping care for my spouse on the kids. I have absolutely nothing to look forward to in my life. Dogs and yoga. Right.
