I may have grey hair and fall under that ominous category of “senior citizen”, but I am not DEAD! Neither is my husband, but that was how it seemed when he began having erection problems. He lost interest in other things in his life too…his hobbies, even his buddies.
I was always his special angel, and our sex life up to then had been loving, and a great affirmation to both of us, that we were committed to our marriage no matter what. Somehow it was the glue, even when we had doubts whether we would stay together.
Now it seemed like that special bond may be lost forever. Of course we both knew about ED medication. But my husband hesitated to use it. He had this idea that if he couldn’t be a great lover without a pill, he was a failure, not only sexually, but as a man.
I had to beg him for about 3 months to see his doctor. Every time he would say no, I would come up with a better reason why he should say yes to using one of the types of pill on the market.
I printed materials off the Internet about how the pills work, results of studies on side effects, and statistics about how many men suffer with this problem. I don’t know if it was me convincing him or that he convinced himself, but he finally got the prescription.
We are back to being each others sweetheart, just like when we first fell in love. Of course its not perfect, but with good humor and love in the bedroom, and a little help from medical science, our special bond is in tact and we know we will make it “til death do us part”.
