Just Wondering Posted: 03-22-07 22:09pm
I am having difficulty getting through to
my boyfriend what is important in a
relationship and why. I am in the wrong
to say that what is important is
communication, honesty, trust and passion?
He understands the first three but not the
passion, he wants to say sex is not
important. What I am triing to explain to
him is that its not about the sex but what
comes with it. and that is to feel that
there is an attraction still between the
two of you, the feeling of confiedence
that your still his so on and so on. He
has been medicated for Bi-polar and the
meds make him lose all thought of sex and
now its become a job to him and that makes
me feel in turn inadequate, unattractive,
and that the passion of attraction is
gone. He wants me to be understanding and
let things be the way that they are.
So ok let me ask any of you. What is
important to you in a relationship? Do you
think that he should try to meet in the
middle? Be understanding to my needs as
much as I am trying to be understanding
with him?
This has been going on for a 1.5 years and
we have sex maybe once a month I tease him
and say on the holidays only. So if you
don't mind responding tell me what you
think.

Well, my husband and I went through a
period of this when I was on certain birth
controls. I got to where I never wanted
sex and it was very frustrating for him.
Your husband may want to talk to his
doctor about his meds to see if there is
anything he can do to adjust his meds and
make things better for the both of you.

The doctors have said that certain meds to
help in that area will complicate the meds
that he is on now. Thank you so much for
your reply though.
