Oh, I absolutely agree with you. I think if I hadn't grown up with a father with a temper my tolerance would be less. I got the porn out of the house and now I'm working on the abuse. He has signed up for an anger management class. I don't want my child growing up with screaming and name-calling. That was my breaking point. I'm still not sure which way things will go, but I'm hoping things work out - for all of us.

My LD has been frustrating for both of us. I feel like a failure and he's...suprememly frustrated and doesn't handle it well. I try to remember all of the good things but sometimes I just feel...adverse to the idea of sex. I've told him that and told him why.

I have another post I started. I think in any long term relationship it's a struggle to keep the passion going. I'm looking for ideas. I've read everything - been to doctors - tried meds. I'm tired - I'm stressed (I have an ill mother, ill sister, toddler, full time job and no libido).

I'm not ready to give up on my M. Oh trust me, in the throws of a tantrum or silent treatment I think I may be done, but I also know I shouldn't make that decision during a bad time. Most of the time things are okay. Definitely not perfect, but not bad either. I want things to get better. I want to have a libido again.

I read recently 40% of women struggle with LD. I wouldn't be surprised if that was true. We are wired in such a complicated way. I've never been HD, except at the start of a relationship. How do you keep it going? How do you get it back?
