If I’m honest @AbigailM03 I’m feeling a bit despondent, I’ve been reading various threads and the multitude of posted replies for the last half hour whilst having me breakfast and i can’t help but wonder if I’m ever going to have any kind of sex with my wife ever again!!!
Now i know it’s difficult for her with her various conditions and I often wonder if I’m being selfish for having such thoughts.

It’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.
Don’t feel guilty or think you’re selfish, look after yourself or you can’t adequately look after your loved one’s. Medical conditions can’t be helped, but it doesn’t make it any easier on the caring partners.
Always someone here if you need support.

It’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 don’t want to do, and do things that please me. Don’t let others drain your enthusiasm and optimism, or take your good nature for granted.

@D_and_E … 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 we’d split up I found out she’d been cheating, mine is probably a similar time line so should be divorced by Xmas aswel…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 Christmas… 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 you’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. I’ve always been working, at the gym or at home with my partner so didn’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, I’ll have to look through your thread, might help me out…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 wing… 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
