If Iā€™m honest @AbigailM03 Iā€™m feeling a bit despondent, Iā€™ve been reading various threads and the multitude of posted replies for the last half hour whilst having me breakfast and i canā€™t help but wonder if Iā€™m ever going to have any kind of sex with my wife ever again!!!
Now i know itā€™s difficult for her with her various conditions and I often wonder if Iā€™m being selfish for having such thoughts.

Itā€™s not selfish at all. We are human, and a large part of that is sharing physical contact, wether it be a hug, holding hands, sex etc, as well as company and conversation.
Donā€™t feel guilty or think youā€™re selfish, look after yourself or you canā€™t adequately look after your loved oneā€™s. Medical conditions canā€™t be helped, but it doesnā€™t make it any easier on the caring partners.
Always someone here if you need support.

Itā€™s a learning curve, it took me ages to realise it, and to act on it. I am now not afraid to say no to things i donā€™t want to do, and do things that please me. Donā€™t let others drain your enthusiasm and optimism, or take your good nature for granted.

@D_and_E ā€¦ Ive been separated 8 months now, divorce in process should be finanalised by Christmas

Hope you are doing ok x

Sorry to hear that! We split up last July, she started going out more, moved back home with her mam then after weā€™d split up I found out sheā€™d been cheating, mine is probably a similar time line so should be divorced by Xmas aswelā€¦how you been finding things? x

@D_and_E Im so so sorry, thats awful, I hope you are getting any support you need

Im doing really well, I had a whole thread about my split :laughing: LH helped me loads

We were both very unhappy, he realised it, I didnt, I was very detached from myself and my emotions

After two months of counselling and trying we split just before Christmasā€¦ and I started to rebuild (with a tonne of counselling)

Now Im like a new woman, I sea swim, gym, play squash, eat out, walk, yoga, journal and have an amazing relationship with my Son

Just started a Friends with benefits relationship with an old friend recently. Life is good x

@The_Little_Ladybird im so glad youā€™ve come out of it in a positive way, long may it continue! Yeah I had counselling for a bit, not so much for the break
Up, it was more the loneliness. Iā€™ve always been working, at the gym or at home with my partner so didnā€™t have anyone else really when she left so kind of got myself stuck in a big dark hole

It definitely seems your break up has given you a new lease of life, Iā€™ll have to look through your thread, might help me outā€¦I did write a post in the members we miss thread the other day but put your old user name in x

@D_and_E Id cut myself off from almost everyone, but was very lucky that my neighbour that I barely knew took me under her wingā€¦ weve become best friends and she has been my biggest supporter.

I hope you are getting out there a little now. Ive always enjoyed your contributions here xx
