For the record, we have been getting help for quite some time and you are absolutely correct to state that sex is a symptom. Unfortunately, the problem(s) are pretty severe and deep rooted. Additionally, my wife is a doctor and is able to look at this both emotionally and clinically which helps keep conversations open and honest.
Splitting isn't an option for either of us at this point. Despite sex's place in a marriage, I could not live with myself having left my (im)perfect girl because of something that tears her apart and is (has been) beyond her control. Her feelings mostly stem from empathy for my situation and I feel as though her offer shows an openness to solving this problem.
As I tried to convey in the initial post, it sounds very exciting but in a "lets douse this house in gasoline and see how close you have to get with a flame before it explodes" kind of way.
