Ok so I would really like to get some perspective on this issue. My bf and I have been together for 6 months and moved in after 3 months. We don't have sex anymore.
The first two months were great - lots of sex - he was a maniac with it and then it dropped off. It is like his libido crashed. He always tells me even before I start to try and initiate that he is tired. We had a pretty good talk about our relationship 2 months ago and we both worked on our grievances and fixed the little things that were bothering each other. But still no sex. Last month he was very withdrawn and seemed depressed.
I know the answer is to try and talk about it with him and I have. He says he does not have any answers for me because it is something he does not think about. I have not tried to talk to him since. I have tried to just leave him be instead. He has been affectionate the whole time. He still texts during the day and tells me he loves me. I try to give him space and not be clingy or needy. But I am hurt. I just want to know where I stand.
So why am I writing this on this particular site? He has been using different steroids for the past few years. He says three or four cycles, but I say significantly more based on the changes in his face and body. I saw pictures of him from several years ago and he looks a lot different and he has lost almost all of his hair.
He was using the injectible kinds, but he had to switch recently to oral kind because of lack of supply. I asked him a lot of questions about it and potential issues. He said he uses PCTs to keep everything in check. I don't know anything about steroids. I don't know about dating a guy who uses them. I have nothing against them.
I am wondering if all of his behavior and libido changes have been because of the steroids though. Or is there someone else? Or is he just done with the relationship?
Honestly, it would not bother me at this point if there was someone else - at least I would know where I stood. I'll just move on. If he is done, I'll move on. I know he only has the answer, but he won't talk to me.
I am ready to move out. I have made plans to do it. I haven't done it yet because I don't want to miss out on a good thing - if he is still into it. I don't know is I should hang in there and just be supportive until he gets through whatever he is going through. Or is this what happens when guys use steroids? Is this what it is like to date a steroid use? The moodiness, lack of sex drive? Depression? Withdrawn? Is it like this for all guys?
Thanks for listening.
