TG,

Glad to hear that your kiddo is off those meds. D6 went on Reglan when they took Propulsid off the market, and hated that yucky syrup horribly. Her needs have always exceeded what Zantac offered. She's still on Prilosec because of her naturally acidic stomach and her seizure meds, which also cause an acidic stomach.

Now that you got it out of the way, I'm still going to let Corri and Johanna and the rest of the sex gang help you. They're great.

I will comment here, though.

I disagree--it is definitely not hurting your sitch, TG.

My H has also been very supportive and helpful. My nickname for him on this BB is Mr. Wonderful. It's partly tongue-in-cheek for that bobble head dude you see in stores, but partly because it is true.

Like I said, I have more of a drive than most women and mine came back when D6 was around 3--in full force. By then, Mr. W. and I had created a life of resentment and he only indulged me when he needed it but never before it reached mission critical. I took it when I could get it, however I could get it.

I'm still going to stand by and ask you to support her in different ways. Lots of validating and cherishing. If an opportunity arises, please, please encourage her to seek counseling. The trauma left behind from your son's first year is nothing to sneeze at, and there are all sorts of repercussions for not dealing with trauma.

In my spare time, I run a nonprofit that benefits kids with issues stemming from those like your son and my D--and I have NEVER met a mom who has not felt the blow to her womanhood like the one your W took. Our motherhood chakra is tied to our perception of our femininity and she had hers questioned.

There are all sorts of insinuations and innuendoes that knock us off balance. Just like men who have ED feel to their masculinity. Different degrees, but the issue is there, friend. I can guarantee it.

How about buying her a day at a spa or something totally indulgent? Give her coupons for non-sexual massage or foot rubs? Buy a foot bath and some champagne and get her all set up somewhere away from the kids?

I know what helps me feel cherished.

And you might want to also put on your list of must reads The Five Love Languages. Excellent read and maybe would help you learn HER love language.

Good luck. Corri and Johanna, I think you can help where I can't.

You've come to a great place, TG. Best of luck.

Underdog
