Hi my name is jes. And my husband suffers form depression. We have been married for almost 5 years and we have 5 children and three of them are ours together.
I have a question for anyone with advice.

My husband had an affair while we were separated not only with one person but, with two. one of them being my so-called best friend (in which i don't talk to anymore.) But, he was having depression problems before we separated, and know is taking citalopram (genaric for Celexa.) i was wondering if the problems we are having is because of it or if it is that he is holding something back yet (still not telling the whole truth)
My husband sometimes cannot finish he started having that problem after he cheated, and he wasn't telling me the whole truth.

We were separted for about a month before he started cheating, and during that time this was never a problem, so i think that it is more of he still aint telling the whole truth yet. I asked him if he would take something for the side affect and he said no and changed the subject. i also asked him if there was more than he told me and he says no and changes the subject.

Now i don't even get anything at all. not even once in the last week and he was the one that was complaining before if it went longer than 2 to 3 days without anything.

So my question to you is do you think its the meds or do you think he aint telling the whole truth yet.

Thanks for any advice

" Is this a question relating to sexual disfunction? If so, it could be the meds, also he could be self conscience about his junk not working right. But then again, I could be totally wrong all together "

" It could be a number of things. He may have problem getting it up and feel ashamed. Hey may feel ashamed because he can't come. Its hard to say, if your husband is obviously holding things from you, then I think you two need to find a way to talk about it. Not having enough sex is a symptom of a larger problem. If he had the problem before when he was taking medication before the separation then its probably the meds but he needs to tell you. Did he get tested for diseases after the seperation? "

" he didn't have a problem when he started taking the meds it was about two months later. he don't have a problem getting it up it just won't stay there. and i guess she just got tested before they were together. and i knew the other person, so LUCKLY i souldn't have to worry about that, i really did worry about it at first, and oh did he hear about it, cause that thought never crossed his mind, so i chewed him out about it because he lied to me about using protection for about two weeks and was doing stuff with me and didn't tell me the truth about it.

" It could be the meds it just took awhile. As for not telling the whole truth, its probably that he still hasn't.

Do you even want to have sex with him right now? Or do you just wnat to find out what else he is hiding from you "

" Anti depressants do cause the problem I know that from personal experience. As for the cheating, do you consider it cheating when you were seperated. "

" Since Ive been on citalopram I have lost all interest in sex. That is, I want it but just cant do it. It is definately a side effect of the drug and says so on the packet. If you can get him to see his doctor maybe they can give something to counteract it. "

" yeah i think its cheating becasue we vowed that we wouldn't until we knew what we were going to do. and we would talk before we were going to deside anything. And i wish he would go to the doctor to counterreact it, but, he refuses. so that is why i think there is more "
