This isn't a TAAT but more a thread inspired by a current thread which I've posted on already but don't want to derail.
I'm 34...I have a lovely DH whom I adore. We have a very affectionate relationship...holding hands, hugs, kisses, playfights,etc and tell each other how much we love each other all of the time --I know
--
We are newly married and have been together in total about 3 years. All is rosy except that I have no sex drive. Nothing. Zero.
Not just re: sex with DH but I don't feel the need at all and don't masturbate or think about other men. Nothing.
I used to (before DH) but think it's my medication...I can't stop taking it as I have bipolar. I've taken several different meds before which did not work and my psychiatrist has strongly advised me against changing as I am considered as being a high risk of relapse during the transition . I'm the main breadwinner and self employed so a breakdown would have serious consequences (homelessness!).
I've spoken to DH before and since we got married. He would like sex every day but understands my situation and says the rest of our relationship makes up for it.
However I get fairly terrified when I read all the other threads about this from the other perspective which say 'everyone deserves sex', 'you should walk away and find someone as life's too short not to have sex' etc etc.
AIBU to not try other things to find my sex drive? And if so what are these 'other things'?
I would be heartbroken if my DH decided one day he'd had enough and left...
