Anyone else out there miss it as much as I do?

The hubby keeps telling me if I was skinnier I'd
want sex more often.

He has no clue about the side effects of
bipolar meds but I keep telling him until
I am blue in the face that atypical anti psychotics
are known to be sex killers and generally kill
any desire that I normally have

He even went as far as showing me a genuine
article he found online that is entitled

Loose weight have better sex.

Can you believe that shit?

Boy is he naive.

erg!!!!!! ive heard that too. and to be honest wondered if my weight gain was playing a partial, i said partial, role. because i am down on myself for it. but if you don't have an issue with your weight then it is not the case for you. i cna't believe he printed off that article! men can be asses!!!! i genuinely worry that my relationship may end if i don't somehow reclaim my sex drive. it has been a big ongoing issue. although i actually told him yesterday that he'd have a better chance at getting laid if he'd stop freakin pissing me off! i'm not gonna want sex after we fight about sex! duh! it is a strange situation to be in when i used to be so sexual. where it was a main component of my life...ok to be honest, used to be what i thought about all day

I don't know how much of that article is true. I go up and down in my weight. Now, when I am heavy, forget sex, I don't even have the energy to bother. However, when I lose weight the opposite is true.

Right now I am in my FAT phase, I cant stand my own image. You can bet I don't feel like having sex with my s.o.

Okay, this is how I read it: you've got a ten 40 pound bags of sand on top you. If you remove one of them you'll be able to get up? That's the sort of argument being made . . . . losing weight is the least of our problems regarding sex drive.

I'm in a similar boat . . . . except my sex drive is great. My performance capability, however, is in the tank. All wound up with no place to go! Arrrrrggghhh!

Have you tried just going with the flow? I was married a long time and I can't say my desire was there for him all the time but on the advice of my sister in law I tired going with the flow and found that once you get into it it can be pretty nice even if you thought you didn't want it before hand.

Hypersexuality is disfunctional, you know that, right? So, you want to go back into that disfuntional state?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
