i'm 36, single mom of 3 very busy girls. (ages 7,8,13)
September 22, 2010 - 3:52pmi was married for 13 yrs. and have been divorced for 3 yrs now.
i know that my sex life with my ex husband left alot to be desired. part of that was the medication that i was on at that time (paxcil and welbutron, sorry about the spelling) . After the divorce i stayed single for a year. during that year i wanted to just take some time to figure some thing out, like who i was and what i wanted. i started dating. nothing serious just a few coffee dates things like that. even then i found my self thinking alot about sex. i know part of what changed after the divorce was that i now like my self! and i now knew that i to mattered! i have had a few relationships since then, that have included sex. and most of it really good! i just ended a 9 month relationship , and alot of that had to do with the fact that he thought a good sex life was to have sex maybe once or twice a month. i tried to work with that but in the end it became a deal breaker. =( right now I'm on effexor which i have been on four 4 yrs. and water pills for high blood pressure .
i did try talking to the Dr. honest he laughed, and said you really think this is a bad thing? your boyfriend must love it. so ya that was not really helpful
.as for weight loss, i lost a few -20 lbs after the divorce but that's really it.
as for diet - i have always had a farely health eating habits , don't eat alot of meat due to being allergic to pork, beef, sea food , shellfish and a few different nuts...
i do love this new found love of sex...but
the more friends i talk to the more i realize that it seems so out of the norm. there's also the fact that i have now had 2 relationships end because they feel that its too much. i realize i just haven't met the right guy yet.lol there's got to be a man out there that's not just all talk! lol
also i have realized that when I'm struggling the worst with my depression are the days when i want sex the most. i really think that it's like I'm chasing the orgasm, because when i do have an orgasm i feel like a million buck for about 6- 8 hours after. i have so much energy and i seem to be able to focus on thing so easly
i hope that this helps, because when i read it it sounds like I'm some love sick teenager.lol
