[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My libido was killed by carrying my DH’s anxiety and dealing with the children. He’s helpful(ish) around the house and does stuff with the kids, but I’m definitely an afterthought unless he needs to unload angst. I’ve taken antidepressants on and off for years to help deal with the emotional/mental load I’m carrying for the family, but the side effects and cost are prohibitive.

I wish I’d married someone who occasionally lifted me up emotionally, made me laugh and made me feel like things would be okay, but I didn’t. I wish I’d married someone who occasionally notices when I get my haircut or asks me about a doctors appointment, but I didn’t. Now I’m middle aged and going through perimenopause on top of it and all of these things add up.

Leaving isn’t an option so I’m just trying to make it through the day to day. The idea of sex with him is laughable—hard to get excited about being physical when you are sad all the time. We’ve been to therapy with short term positives, but then we revert to the status quo.
