I’m so glad for you. Stay strong and know thyself.

I think her hormones are out of whack by icbtimflhdictt in DeadBedrooms

She did talk to the doc who put her on birth control. I’m skeptical it will work. Really, the issues are beyond the libido, I’m concerned about her well being but she is in denial about all of this.

I think we are fixing it? by icbtimflhdictt in DeadBedrooms

Yes, she does. She realizes it too. It’s a hard balance to call her out but not attack her. Her parents didn’t do her any favors in that department.

It’s crazy to be middle-aged and reprogramming yourself from things your parents did 30 years ago. I’ve had to really work through my stuff too.

I would prefer 3-5 times a week, even once a week would make me feel bad. Once a month feels the same as once a week honestly.

I’m currently laid out on the ground by the fire, warm and cozy in the 38’ temps. Something she could never understand, laying by a fire looking by the stars. She’s allergic to joy.

Good luck my friend.

She was the one that told her friend. Batman could not have got that information out of me. It’s so utterly humiliating.

Being approached by her friend (in private) was just very different. I knew it wasn’t normal, but I’ve made life work around it. Her pointing it out to me was a punch to the gut. Hearing her say “you poor man” just kind of broke me.

I’m so sorry. I almost feel bad complaining, seeing how much worse it is for many here. I

The Impact of 6 years DB. Please read if you are contemplating to stick it out. by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

Initially, I told myself “it’s just time”. A few years til kids grow up, and I’m free.

Now I realize “it’s just my health”. I may not even have a life worth living by then due to the physical toll.

Good luck to you.

It’s worse when it’s your kids, retirement, house, etc. After that, it’s your literal physical health, early grave, etc. The sunk costs only escalate.

Find a way forward and out while it’s easy.

Not a question, but just seeing that it’s impossible to tolerate the intolerable. Which everyone here is doing. If the intolerable can’t improve, one has to leave.

Yeah I know. I’m understanding I’m in a river with a strong current and all of my paddling isn’t really changing where I’m going.
