I had a partner cheat because of it then I had the pleasure to break up with him.... Remember if the person is worth it they will be there for you and understand what is going on, everyday wont be easy but they will be there. I was lucky I found my partner that is there through everything and hopefully you find yours..

I completely understand as in my last relationship it was a very physically & mentally abusive relationship & he constantly complained & started fights over me not being intimate with him enough. He couldn’t get it through his head that it’s very painful for me & also, due to having to have a total hysterectomy because of the endometriosis being so severe, I don’t have much of a sex drive anymore as my body is in menopause. He didn’t leave me though, I finally decided regardless of what he told me; I deserved much better in a life partner. I have been single ever since & that was 2 years ago. Since then, I have just been focusing on myself, and my personal growth & my worth & I’m currently dating myself & am pretty happy. I do hope to one day find the love of my life but until he/she comes along; I’ll continue loving myself & loving on myself. Please know that you are not alone if this has happened to you & that if he leaves you he didn’t deserve you in the first place. True love is patient & kind & never boastful so if you’re in a relationship with someone who doesn’t care to be those things for you; maybe you should leave him instead!

Yes-it has been a big problem through relationships. I’m going to be 40-i have a full hysterectomy 6 yrs ago only left one ovary. This past June (it’s Sept) I went in for another surgery to take that ovary out-my doctor took some endo off my bladder. Did an extension on my bladder & found endo on my colon.) I have to say the past 3 months after this last surgery I have been feeling better BUT now I’m going through menopause-still depressed-mood swings....I have now been with my husband for 14 yrs. He acts like he is understanding & supportive, then I would hear “oh you hurt again.” The times we have plans & I would hurt, it was “of course you hurt-we have plans.” Then other days he would wait on me hand & foot. When it comes to being intimate-we have gotten into so many fights. He doesn’t think I like him or want to be with him because I don’t initiate it. (I HATE that I’m never in the mood, I do love him but having sex hurts so bad that the thought is already in my mind.) so now after 12 years of marriage-he feels that I do not want to be with him because I don’t make love to him any more or even want to be intimate. He has said that we don’t need to have sex-i just need to tell him that-but something would be nice. He has asked for a divorce a few times now then lately even accused me of liking girls because I don’t come onto him. PLEASE-what are some things that I can do.
We have looked up different treatments-but I want to heal first & things in order. He has looked up creams to use.....
I do love him & I don’t understand when he has apologized in past for the things he has said & tells me that I’m his sole mate & he’s never going anywhere. But when it comes to special occasions I need to at least try. It’s crazy how hurt I am, but I do understand where he’s coming from. I mean-I would be the same way to an extent. I have a disease that doesn’t have a cure. I have bladder issues & stomach issues probably all because of endo.
Please-any suggestions would help. Thank you!!!

I know it's hard ladies but try to look at the breakup as a blessing because you don't want a weak man in your life anyway. You definitely don't wanna marry that type man because then he will completely be going against your vows and what marriage is all about, "Til death do us part". Hope this helps and you find AMAZING men to be a part of your lives! 💛🌺
