[quote=Anonymous]Hi this is OP again. Thanks for continuing the conversation and offering various perspectives.

It’s correct that I’m not wired in the way that would allow me to have a transactional relationship with someone else (either alone or in front of DH). It’s not that I am a prude, or even the “death do you part” aspect. Because we are more than husband and wife, but friends, I could never do that and give him even more to feel bad about. And I don’t think I could enjoy it because I’ve only enjoyed intimate relationships with people I care about and have feelings for. Before I was married I tried a fling or three and it always left me feeling empty and lonely. I’m sure it would work for other people so I understand the recommendation.

I think the idea of finding someone who specializes in depression stemming from his particular issues might be a good place to start, although I realize the advice might be the same that his current therapist gives.

Does anyone know of someone good?

A friend of mine said I should ask a doctor for a medication that suppresses libido if I really want to live the rest of my life in the situation and not be crazy. Not sure how I feel about that.
