My wife and I have been together for the majority of our lives . Our sex life was great for a while. She go on anti depressants about a decade or so and our sex life dropped tremendously.
Fast forward to a year ago she had her fist manic episode to our knowledge. Which destroyed so much of our lives together. So much chaos and destruction followed her through that.
We ended up separating and I started to rebuild my life. When she came back into there was about 2 weeks of some intense sex but honestly after all the hurt and pain and trauma of the previous 4 months I couldn’t get into it as much as she tried.
She slid into a pretty scary depression after that and i basically begged her to get treated. At this point she refused the idea of her being bipolar. She finally got treated and after a couple tries it seems her meds have worked.
But we haven’t had any real connection in almost a year and yeah sex is great but really miss just feeling connected to this person who had been by my side for as long as I can remember. I look at picture from not even that long ago and she looks like a different person.
How has you medication affected not just your sex drive but your connection to others.
I’ve just felt so isolated and unloved by this person that I’ve been through hell with and I don’t know if I should just cash my chips and be on my way. We have 2 small kids together but this doesn’t feel like a life I want to live.
