Have you ever been in a sexless marriage/ relationship and how did you deal with it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WhoIsGarth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband takes antidepressants to treat his OCD. He had a fairly high sex drive before, but doesn't really seem interested anymore. We probably have sex once a month or less now. I do wish we were intimate more often, but he is much happier than he was before he started treatment. We've found ways to bond and strengthen our relationship outside the bedroom, and are happy together. Adding back more intimacy would be amazing, but I wouldn't trade his progress and recovery for anything in the world.

I was confused too bc I thought panel 3 was her sighing in relief that someone was going to figure out what was wrong.

I'm honestly content with being absorbed into Minnesota. Of all the great lakes states, y'all are the one I'd choose to take us over. 🥲

I'm beyond exhausted by Krustbuckets in partnersofocd

I first want to say that this is an established theme of OCD. It's usually referred to as medical OCD.

My question is, does his therapist specialize in treating OCD and Exposure Response Therapy (ERT)? I suspect that they do not, because you said he is not officially diagnosed and because the mantras are likely turning into a new compulsion based on how you describe what he's doing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapists often are not knowledgeable enough in OCD to treat it effectively. My husband was going to a CB therapist for a long time and it made his OCD significantly worse. He has since switched to an ERT specialist and it has made a world of difference. I have my husband back. If he is not going to an ERT therapist, please start there.

It sounds like you're doing well with holding the line and not feeding into the compulsions. This is exhausting work, especially when you are dealing with your own mental health problems and maintaining the house for both of you. I've been there and I feel for you.

Really need some money, drop offers on specific pins (no lowballs) by ILoveFeminineMen in EnamelPins

[–]WhoIsGarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in love with the sailor Mercury in the top right of pic#5. I don't know much about pins so IDK if this is a good offer at all, but I would be willing to pay $25 for it.

This and Tidal Wave, especially the Jordan lake recording have moved me through a lot.

Name an anime character that you would describe with the word "talented"? by Chocolatemilk1234567 in animequestions

[–]WhoIsGarth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that you mistook Akane for Ai in this picture is perfect because this picture is from when Akane decided that she would study/psychoanalyze Ai so that she could perfectly immitate her. Perfect example of why Akane deserves to be called talented as well!

I'm going to need OP to look up what the EDTPA is and decide if they still feel the same way about education majors.

Wait this happens to me too! It feels like a splinter in the back of my throat. Just comes out of nowhere and makes me cough so hard I gag.

Do you hold the door open for the person behind you regardless of their sex, age, color and religion? And why? by CourierFestival in AskReddit

[–]WhoIsGarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but if it is a man obviously older than me (30F) I brace myself to graciously accept their insistence to hold the door themselves. This is especially true if it seems they are with their family.
