10 year relationship feels off after antidepressants
I’ll start this by saying my partner is the one on them I am not and have not ever been on any medication, both of us 30. Bare with me I have never posted online like this about personal info. We have been together for 10 years, fairly heathy relationship no cheating, very subtle arguments, nothing fancy. We have two kids now and have lived together for almost all of the 10 years. After our first kid 4 years ago, she had very bad postpartum and long story short it resulted in her getting on them, forgive me I don’t know the name of which brand. She’s been on them for maybe 3ish years now and I feel like I’m with a whole different person. Our very sexually active life changed to maybe a few times a year, which was the first sign something was off and was the first time I brought it up to her. I have a very high sex drive and I feel awful even at the thought of initiating sex when she isn’t into it, so I never try. The emotional blunting and explosive behavior has only gotten worse aswell resulting in fights about things we’ve never had. Her lack of interest in anything I ask as if she’s never interesting in my opinion on anything . I have since done research and realize these are all side effects of the drug. I also realize her well being will always be above how I feel about the relationship, I wouldn’t ask her to get off something I believe helps her for my own sake. I guess I’m here kinda venting but also asking if there’s anyone out there who’s experienced this and how did you adapt? I feel like im alone here. At the end of the day above all she’s the love of my life I have no intentions on leaving her, I believe this will get better with time
