Some of you may be familiar with my backstory. Not too much different from many here, so I'll spare you the gory details. Suffice to say--LD wife, I'm probably medium-high myself.
After years of struggling with the issue of incompatibility (drive difference, extreme difficulty with orgasm on her part, intermittent performance problems on mine) I have been also struggling with depression. I don't know if it's the chicken or the egg. They may even be unrelated--who knows?
I have an appointment later this week to see a doctor where I'm going to ask to be put on an SSRI. My honest hope at this point is that it will kill two birds with one stone. Lift my depression while simultaneously killing my drive.
I've entertained this thought before, but I had been holding out hope that things might improve with some effort on both of our parts, but that hope is waning fast.
I'm exhausted from the drama, and sex now evokes as many negative feelings in me as positive. I just want this stage of my life behind me.
Has anyone taken this tact before? I realize there will probably be some "don't do it!" responses, but I need to take care of the depression anyway. It might be too late to save my sex life, but maybe I can still salvage my sanity and hopefully my relationship.
