I was diagnosed with BI-Polar 2 a few years ago (I am 40 yes old). I have been married for 21 years and while my wife has endure a lot of **** from me she is still here. Last week I was super irritable and got pissed off at her obsession with her phone. Over the last two month she has expressed the desire to leave. In a recent argument she told me she hates having sex, doesn't even want to kiss me, and has no sexual desire. This is due to her feeling obligated to have sex. I am hypersexual most of the time and worse when I am head into a hyper manic state. After a lengthy conversation I understand her point. No she wants to stop doing anything for a undetermined amount of time till she has the desire. I am unsure of how to do that we have sex frequently and now just stop. I made the agreement to go on meds and therapy 2 a month, why I have stuck to for the last 1.5 years. Today, I came across an article that talks about women's lack of desire to have sex. There is a medication called Addyi which helps treat women's sexual desire. I bring this up and the first thing she says is hell no I am not taking any medication and I am always focused on sex because I brought this up as a potential option. I feel a little hurt because I have to take medication daily and she feels she doesn't. How do you folks handle hypersexuality? How often do you have or want sex a day, if at all?
