I am 42 years old and my wife is 43 ( we’ve been together for 20 years now) and for the past year she has complained when we have intercourse (once every two weeks or so) she say's it is very discomforting and that she thinks her vigina is closing up. I have never heard of such, nor has she mentioned the OBGYN saying anything of the kind; however she is convinced this is what is happening. For months I have felt that this is just her attempts not to have intercourse and have not bought into her story but decided to go online to see if such is possible. I am totally afraid that she has lost all compassion for me and no longer find’s me attractive and that this is just an excuse because she no longer enjoys intimacy with me. Is this possible or has she just totally lost interest in me.

Dear Jim
I am no expert on this, but I do have a medical background and the feeling which your wife is experiencing is not uncommon. There are a number of reasons as to why she may be experiencing discomfort during intercourse. At the age of 43, she might be experiencing some peri-menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness which can be easily improved with the use of appropriate lubricants. Other causes may also include infections - which are not necessarily sexually transmitted, and can occur commonly in women (i.e. thrush or bacterial vaginosis). The best option would be for her to get it checked out by an ObGyn.
It's very possible that what she's feeling is real and physically uncomfortable, and not just an excuse to not be intimate with you. Don't assume that she has lost interest in you, until you have excluded all other medical reasons.
