MARRIAGES

How many guys on this forum that have PFS are able to maintain and remain married either with the use of an ED med or without ED meds??? Basically how many guys are still happily married with PFS and have understanding wifes or girlfriends

I for one am blessed to have a wife that’s been both understanding and supportive of the suffering I’ve gone through because of PFS. Although my ability to perform has been greatly diminished thanks to PFS, she doesn’t put any added pressure on me, which helps a lot. I don’t know where I’d be right now if I had to go through the last year and a half without her. We also have two kids to raise. So a less active sex life seems like less of a priority than other things right now. Don’t get me wrong, I want to get back (or as close as possible) to where I was pre-fin as bad as the next guy on here. But right now, I just have to manage with what I’ve got.

Sometimes I wonder if single life would be easier with PFS. Keeping a job, supporting a family, hiding my health issues from my kids and acting like everything is normal can be pretty stressful, on top of dealing with PFS’ sides. At the same time, I often just tell my self to find a way to keep going, because I have to get through this for others, not just myself.

That’s great that u have someone that loves u enough to understand and go through this with u!!! It will only get better with time and do u have low t???

Thanks man.

Mid-range total T, high SHBG, low free T.

Uro diagnosed me with low t… Im on TRT for life… :angry: … It sucks but it is what it is…

My wife lasted for almost 4 years of my recovery. We were together for 22 years.
She was supportive at first, but the more we discovered about the side effects and the fact that I couldn’t work anymore eroded her support. It was the TRT treatments which gave me High T that made me irritable and angry, so that essentially killed off any support she had. We have two kids.

And no, living alone is not any easier. It’s harder because of the depression and missing my family and home. nearly killed me.

I understand and i am sorry to hear that !!!
