Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Keri: I just wanted to thank you for bringing up the topic of sex. I know some may not think it appropriate for the message board, but what an important part of your relationship that suffers, along with alot of others. My husband has started counseling recently to help him deal with all the fall out from me being so sick. He had been really getting angry alot. Not directed at me, just very short tempered, which is not him. The counselor suggested he is grieving over the loss of the lives we used to have together. She hit the nail on the head. He is getting alot of good direction, and somebody to vent to, which as we all know is crucial for good mental well-being. Besides being tired, as well as on anti-depressants which decrease sex drive, it's hard to make intimacy a priority. But we try to set time aside deliberately to be close. And not always for sex, just to make sure we connect regularly. He is very understanding, and even does an occasional massage to help get me over the hump! I hope it helps to know you are not alone, and that maybe these suggestions will help. Hang in there! Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
