Hi @Former-Member, thanks so much for opening this discussion further with this Topic Tuesday. I've had long term sexual issues in my relationship, mainly me not being interested in sex. These issues have lasted for years even though the relationship is on strong ground on most other levels. It helps to some extent to know that this kind of thing is not confined to people with mental illness. Regardless of whether it is related to mental illness or not (which I think in my case it is), it would be great to find something in this discussion that might help more to reconnect on that level with my partner. It is a sad thing to lose that closeness with each other.
