Hi i m new. I m dealing with a serious issue and i need second opinion of this beautiful community.
I m male, 38, married for 10 yrs, with 1 x daughter (8 yrs). Sexual pleasure is not existent in my marital life as my wife is not attractive at all (why i married her is another story). So, now after being 6 years sober. When i see "hot" ladies. i feel like punching, cutting, slapping my face. or jumping from roof. i ve banged my head on wall a couple of times even leading to substantial injuries.
4 months back i met a girl (21 yrs old). She was poor and needed some one to take care of her. i ve helped her in past 4 months with every thing i could i never asked for any thing in return. being vulnerable, i fell in love with her and proposed her right during 1st week of our relation. she took some time on the plea that she need to talk to her parents. then for one reason or other, she did not let me see her parents but kept assuring me that she also likes me and WILL marry me. recently i came to know she did not tell me her real name and ve been hiding her identity. (Religion even). when i came to know, she said "i was not telling you as i was afraid u will leave me". i m so dejected that i turned my cell phone off and m not contacting her but this is only taxing me. she pursued me only for 2 days and is not contacting me either. But i doesnt seem like getting over her. i want her so bad. even if she is insincere (or not).

i want to ask, should i talk to her? is she a fraud or she really wasnt telling me her identity as she thought i would leave her? in fact she belongs to a community that people look upon as low lifers where do i live. but whats my option? should i talk to her or leave her for the good. i tried to leave her but my feelings for her are making me crazy and more than that, the pain of being treated like that by her, kept in dark...the lies that she has been telling me. its making me sick. i want to kill my self. please help me.

Question (for clarity):

Are you allowed multiple wives?
Because I didn't read anything about you and your wife splitting up, yet you mentioned proposing to the 21 year old...
Thanks for this!

Even if you are allowed another wife did you tell this girl you were married, upfront?
because that seems like a bigger issue than her not introducing you to her parents.

What's the stigma or support like for mental health issues where you live? It concerns me that your actions have gone so far as to physically hurt yourself. Do you have access to psychologists to help you address these issues?

I have seen psychologists (2 indeed). one was lady. i right away fell in love with her and she kicked my ***. she referred me to male psychologist who gave me some crap that did not help. i went to psychiatrist. he gave me meds that would dope me in the night and i would laugh all day long for no reason. i cut on the medicine as apparently it was making me a real-psycho. and indeed my issue is unfulfilled sexual desires. but my issue is, i cant just have sex with any one. i need a mental and emotional bond. which i made with this girl in subject.
Thanks for this!

I suspect this girl became afraid.
If you spoke to her as you write here, I can imagine as a vulnerable young woman she might have felt intimidated, scared even.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but you come across rather predatory. And it is a little unsettling.

Now my partner is a registered sex offender, with some quite serious convictions behind him, so for me to find you unsettling is quite an achievement.

You need help to manage your desires, this medication you took was obviously wrong for you, but there will be something out there.

You need to try and find a specialist, a MALE specialist to talk to.

I am sorry I can't really offer more advice since I don't know the workings of your countries health system.
I understand these feelings are overwhelming, and that for you Italy seem impossible that this young woman doesn't feel the chemistry too.

But she clearly doesn't. Try and acknowledge this without resentment.
Maybe try some method of distraction when you find the intrusive thoughts circling through your mind.

I really do wish you all the best. Please be well.

What's your diagnosis if you saw a psychiatrist?

If a man proposed to me after just one week of a relationship, I'd certainly would be prone to stay away from him. She likely got scared as typically reasonable men don't propose in one week unless they are scammers or unstable. Not saying you are any of it but people are likely to think that.

On the contrary, I wouldn't bother replying if I wasn't concerned, intense overwhelming feelings are difficult, sometimes painful to live with.

You couldn't understand this young woman's behaviour and I simply provided you with a 'possibility', based on the information you gave and my past experience.
Perhaps, I didn't word myself very well, when I described your behaviour as unsettling, I meant if I was to be confronted with it.

I don't cast judgement, It doesn't effect my life either way.
The feelings you described are not the average emotions someone feels when they first meet someone.

No one should feel so frustrated that they are feeling the urge to hurt themselves.

You said you that you saw a male therapist/Dr and were unhappy with what he said.
I wondered if you would be comfortable explaining what he said.
Obviously don't if you're not.

This brings me to why I reccomended you see male Dr, because you made it clear you found it difficult to be around attractive woman without being overwhelmed.

This is also unusual, I can't imagine it's much fun living like that.
I have first hand experience of people who struggle with their sexual function. Sometimes it's a psychological issue, sometimes it's a physical issue.
Yours certainly seems to have the potential for a physical, chemical or hormonal thing. Which has maybe then become a psychological issue as it's begun to interfere in your day to day life.

Of course I could be wrong, I am not a doctor, and I certainly don't have the qualifications to diagnose you.

But I do recognise that you appear under a great deal of duress that feels like it should be manageable.

Once again, I wish you all the best and hope you're able to find the help your looking for.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
