Guest guest Posted October 3, 1999 Report Share Posted October 3, 1999 Dear Jodi: I hear you my sister and share your pain!!! Dating with this awful condition is quite a challenge. I have been dating a wonderful man for 14 months...he is extremely patient in dealing with this. However....I often finding myself subconsciously " pushing him away " ...I suppose because I feel less than normal...unattractive...not a whole woman...all of the cliches we use on the site. While I love him tremendously and cannot imagine my life without him I must admit that some things would be easier without him. If I didn't have a boyfriend I wouldn't be so frustrated that I can't have a " normal " sexual relationship. I could probably live with vv forever (which is what it looks like I'm going to have to do) if I didn't have him...I just wouldn't have to worry about sex at all. Don't get me wrong....I am so very grateful to have him. But I want to do the things other people do. Do you find yourself looking at every couple you see, thinking " yep, they're doing it. Sigh. Wish I could. Pout, Pout " ? My man sometimes speaks of the future...marriage...and though I start to think of a beautiful wedding, and being his bride...I always have to stop...wait, not much of a honeymoon. Sigh. Pout. Forget that dream. I guess I don't have any advice for you. Just keep trying new drugs, new doctors, whatever is out there and maybe find a cure for the condition that is robbing you of your sexual life. Maybe before long you'll be well (I know you're thinking " yeah, right " ) and " Mr. Right " will come and sweep you off your feet. Good luck.
