Medication and sex

[anoniem]

Hi mumnetters.

I have depression, only recently diagnosed and have been taking medication for the last 6 months, had a break down, blah blah don’t want to bore you with my life. My partner has noticed that we’re not being as intimate as we were (we’re long distance). i’ve explained to him that I have noticed a drop in my feelings due to the medication, but he insists it’s unfair on him.

yes it is unfair for him, I don’t deny this, in fact o agree with him, but AIBU here in thinking he’s not fully understanding my situation either?

What a prince!
You are suffering and all he can think about is how he isn’t getting his end away. Not very supportive is he? Have you spelt out to him how bad your MH has actually been? Maybe with him being long distance he hasn’t seen much and doesn’t fully understand.

thank you, he’s not horrible, he’s great but I don’t know if I’m being selfish or something isn’t right. I’ve explained it to him but he thinks it’s still unfair on him and assumes I’ve found someone else
