CautiouslyOptimistic Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I'm sorry you're going through this . How long have you been together? How long has he been in recovery? Is he completely sober? 1

Mr. Lucky Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Sober for almost two years.Just finished treatment last month... Was he abusing something else besides alcohol? Why does "batlling depression and anxiety" equate to no sex? And how can he be finished with treatment if he's still in such a dysfunctional state? Mr. Lucky 2
d0nnivain Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Your live in BF told you he wants to be alone. He's not interested in fixing this. Just find yourself a new place to live & then find a new guy to build a life with. 2
RecentChange Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Was he abusing something else besides alcohol? Why does "batlling depression and anxiety" equate to no sex? Both depression and anxiety can do a number on ones libido. If depression can make someone not want to get up out of bed in the morning, or live another day, I can see how it would hinder ones sex life. That, and many drugs used to treat this conditions have a known side effect of killing sex drive.
Author Juneforever Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 Thank you...yes.We both want to work on things.me and my boyfriend
Just a Guy Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Hi June,, if you're salivating for this one particular ex then why is he an ex? Also, since you are not bound by vows to your current BF then why are you hanging on to him? I thought dating was all about test driving a relationship and if the test fails you bail. If you want to inflict self injury then that is another thing otherwise kiss your current BF goodbye and go look for another more suitable one. Best wishes. 1
