I wasn’t snooping or suspicious of anything but was looking for a old iPhone chargers and checked Dp’s bedside drawers. Found a box Of viagra prescribed and with DP’s name on. Some have been used and I’ve no concerns that he’s cheating, so guessing he’s used them with me or possibly alone.
Thing is I can understand why he’s needing them, but he hasn’t mentioned anything to me about it and I’ve not noticed a problem in that department.

I feel quite upset, more I think because he hasn’t felt he can talk to me about it, but also a bit because he’s taking medication that I had no idea about. But equally it’s his body and he shouldn’t he have to tell me or should he?

Dp really isn't like that @EmeraldShamrock. He'll be cautious taking them prescribed from the gp, can't imagine him just buying them. He's definitely not a dabbler.

If it helps OP I am impressed jealous that you have a small baby and you have had sex more than 6 times since just before Christmas.

You don’t need to feel silly either my post seemed harsher than it was meant to be. You just need to ask though, I understand that even in long-standing healthy relationships somethings are just difficult to bring into conversation. I think maybe they are in his top drawer so you will see them by mistake and then have to discuss.

(It was very difficult to write this post without and double-entendres Shock)

I genuinely didn't mean your DP would take them recreationally, I just threw the tuppence in there.
Have a chat he hasn't bought them online, it can't have been easy to go the GP.

Thanks @geekone. I don't feel so bad now, I think I'll just mention that I was looking for a charger in his drawers and see if he says anything about them.

It's generally a few times a week, so not like it's loads. But we did a fair bit more over Christmas as he was off with for two weeks and both kids tend to nap together in the afternoon Blush
Although now I'm wondering if he was only so interested because he had his new pills to try out.

Oh no, I wasn't thinking you meant him @EmeraldShamrock. Was just explaining that I think for him it will be a bit of a big deal taking them.

YABU, it's his body and he might feel embarrassed about it

ChangeMc · 20/01/2020 12:48

Would you not mention it then @AryaStarkWolf?

He must have a medical condition because you can only get them prescribed under certain criteria. Does he have epilepsy for example?

ChangeMc · 20/01/2020 12:54

No, he's not got epilepsy @TabbyMumz. I think I know where it's come from, but he hasn't mentioned any problems or feeling anxious or anything at all.

"Redannie118is right. There's absolutely no need to visit the GP and get a prescription.".
Its 20 odd pound for 6, which is why if people meet the criteria for it, they can get it free on the NHS.

ChangeMc · 20/01/2020 13:38

He wouldn't get it free @TabbyMumz. He'd have to pay a prescription charge, although I think that may be cheaper than buying them.

OP posts:
AryaStarkWolf · 20/01/2020 13:51

@ChangeMc I'd wait for him to I think

TabbyMumz · 20/01/2020 14:24

Changemc...depends where he lives. Might be free.

ChangeMc · 20/01/2020 16:48

We're England so we pay @TabbyMumz.

I think I might just mention it, but in a nice way. What's a nice way to mention it? Confused
I'm just confused if he's taking one every time or not and why I haven't noticed any problems. Unless he was noticing problems when he was alone.
We can usually talk about sexy quite openly.
