And some pretty horrible things were said. it all came to a head last night. our sex life isn't great and never has been. (DH suffers from ED) i blew my top after another failed attempt. so humiliating for both of us. i told him i didn't like having sex with him. i just came out with it. i slept in the spare bedroom to avoid the row. he's devastated but went on the verbal attack today and has told me some truths about my character. i am selfish and self-absorbed. he does everything he can for me, and i am a twat for wanting a good sex life. can i not be happy with what we've got. (2 grown-up DC's, good holidays and are about to move to a lovely new house). Apparently my dad warned him about this when we were getting married 19 years ago. I am a horrible, greedy woman. i think we're done. We can't buy a new house with everything that entails (bigger morgtgage, bills, financial pressures) if he has so little respect for me. how can we have a relationship and commit to the next step if when we row all this comes out. i resent him massively for our crap sex life. he won't take Viagra. i don't know why and i don't know what to do. i am completely floored. it's me right? i need to look in the mirror and take stock. i told him yesterday (when we were friendly) that a 'friend' has said she would find it funny if our house purchase went wrong and we had to be rrepossessed. DH said, there's a reason for that. You're not a nice person. So. there it is. Any thoughts anyone? WWUD?

Glad I could help.

It's not a substance to mess about with: there are some dangerous interactions with other drugs, alcohol of course and oddly, grapefruit.

If it was the other way around and you came here for help - the answer would be

leave her get her to go her behaviour is not acceptable on any level.

What happens next time he wants to try having sex even if you don't shout and lose it he will be waiting for it to happen and this will probably mean it doesn't happen.

Why should someone take drugs to satisfy you?

Seek help together and get yourself some help and hopefully you will be able to patch up your marriage if you try really hard to make things work

I would cut OP some slack. If you've been together long enough to have grown up DCs, so that's 25 years maybe, there is a hell of a lot of water under the bridge and it's unlikely that those years have all been idyllically happy, there are many opportunities for grudges and resentments to build up, especially if the couple are reserved, so not airing fears or opinions about sex etc regularly, which is the norm I would think. It's easier to decide to not rock the boat or not make a fuss so keeping annoyances to yourself.
So a blowout once in a while can be expected imv.
