so my husband is having a hard time with the fact that i bearly orgasm since starting antidepressants a few month ago.
i dont know how i can fix this?
it makes him feel like shit but i feel like he is blaming me and expecting me to just be able to do it which i cant.
we have a fantastic relationship and this is just a little hiccup for me but for him its huge, i still enjoy sex anyways but he doesnt understand.
what do i do?

Hi, we’re in the reverse situation of that situation. My hubby is on antidepressants and has been withdrawing from sex and intimacy for quite some time as a result of that and his anxiety and depression. It’s really challenging and the only way to get through is to maintain communication. Your husband can’t flick your switch anymore than I can flick my husband’s and I totally understand the feelings you’re both dealing with.
It’s a really confronting feeling not to be able to “turn on” your spouse! It makes you feel quite useless and then you feel like you’re a part of the issue, and on it goes.... please keep explaining to him how you’re still getting a lot from being intimate with him, tell him what does feel good. Tell him you’re not about to fake an orgasm through this, challenge him to help find what will help you orgasm... and maybe it’s not going to happen but I can tell you that you need to keep trying. It doesn’t happen often here but it does happen! Let your GP know that you’re having those side effects too.
Good luck. Reach out if you need.
