My friend suggested I write down exactly what I'd like to do for V-Day in a romantic-note sort of way and give the note to my husband so that he knows what I'd like and can maybe make some plans. I was wonderin what you guys are doin, a) to get some ideas and b) because I'm a sucker for real-life mushy romantic stories.

Much luv to you, my friend. <3View Thread

I was just wondering, what kind of antidepressant do they have her on? The kind I am on does not have affects on libido/reaching orgasm. Women especially like it, and also it doesn't make you gain weight like some antidepressants do.
Also at the health food store in my town, they have herbal pills a woman can take to raise libido. (IDK if they work but since it's all-natural it seems like it'd be safe. Of course if she took something like that, she'd have to make sure it didn't negatively react w/ her antidepressant.)
And I agree w/ those who said it'd be good to talk w/ her. Sex is important in a relationship so it's good to talk about it. Just let her know that you love her and really miss connecting w/ her on that very intimate level.
Luv and luck to you <3View Thread


I really feel for you, queston, but since I'm stuck in a similar spot I don't have any advice for you. (I'm sorry.) I really admire that you want her to enjoy sex and it's a priority for you. I admire your patience with her.
I'm a girl and I think about sex constantly and am really frustrated, I imagine that this kind of thing is even harder on a guy. (No pun intended there at all.)
I think everyone here is giving you good suggestions. I have talks w/ my husband about our sex life from time to time. It's difficult to ask for what you need but also be delicate about it. But I think that this conversation w/ her will be good, even if you have to stop-and-start it over a few times like tmlmtlrl said. Me and my husband's sex life has gotten a little bit better since he started changing. So talks can do a lot.
IDK your whole story of your relationship, but if it's like my relationship then know that there is hope, she can change. It may take a LOT of talks and repetition and everything but change is possible.
After 25 years, I think it's going to be real difficult to institute change. But it is possible.
I wish you lots of luck, my friend.

I don't really mind if people stop reading my posts or whatever, I just don't want it to be because they think I'm not listening.
Thanks for the congrats.

Well, I do feel like I deserve better treatment. But I think in order to ask him for the better treatment I need make myself stronger too and to seek help from you guys to know what to do. Does that make sense?
I wish my husband would grow up to. I think he is, slowly. I think his progress will snowball and he'll be able to grow into his potential.View Thread
