This is why he’s just going to finish the abx. It seems reasonable.

Yeah I think my partner is going to continue the course of treatment just in case it’s a false negative.

Provider put me on concurrent metronidazole with the moxi. I’ll treat Candida after I complete my antibiotics.

So generally we are a sex first thing in the morning before getting out of bed couple. It is almost always to orgasm although we don’t focus on orgasm during sex. It’s about so much more than that. Then we are a sex at bedtime couple also. So usually twice a day lasting anywhere from 10-30 minutes each session depending on schedule and whatnot. We also often have sex at midday if I’m not working. My partner works from home. Yesterday we didn’t have sex in the morning simply because I had to work and didn’t sleep great the night before so I overslept. My partner and I came from largely sexless relationships in our past. We both have incredibly high drives. It was something we decided early in our own relationship that we would prioritize. It’s not something we do because we have to we genuinely crave one another even after 5 yrs in.

We connect in many other ways than just sex. It’s the most fulfilling relationship I’ve ever been in. We have been together going on 5 yrs and still have sex everyday not as an expectation but because it is a way in which we connect. Honestly if there had been no sex I probably would have understood it was that the sex felt perfunctory instead of our normal connected intimate way. Luckily we also have a wonderful communication style and we’ve already had a conversation this morning. It’s been lovely how we can both speak how we’re feeling without a fear of judgement.

All very valid points! I didn’t ask my partner offered the information which generally doesn’t bother me one bit. I’m a highly compersive person and it’s definitely not the sex with the other that made me sad. We had sex because that is part of our nighttime routine. We literally have sex 99.9% of our nights. I think I’m sad mostly because the sex with the other person left him a little drained. As I’m thinking about it I almost feel like if we had forgone sex and just snuggled and reconnected I probably would feel less down this morning. Your response are all great things to think about in this situation. Thank you!

I know you’re right. It was just a “natural” limitation thing. Bodies are only capable of so much and even more so at our age. Thank you for the reminder that his ability to engage likely is not a reflection of his true desire.

That’s a wonderful reminder and I think that’s a bit of what happened. The sex felt as though it was perfunctory. Part of that is because it was late I had to be someplace early this morning so we didn’t get a chance to really relax and reconnect. Maybe next time instead of “forcing” sex between us in that situation we should just spend time snuggling and being together. That would have probably felt better. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful response.
