    We have been married 20 yrs in feburary lots of ups and mostly downs. We only 41 but my hubby needs viagra type pills because he is a heavy drinker. Recently he ordered 24 of these pills and even tho we have only used about 5 of them together there is only 3 of them left. Apparently he is using them for hisself….I dont even know how to react to that. I know men take care of themselves quite regularly but this is really beginning to bother me. I dont even know what to think of it. Does he have a problem u think?

    It doesn’t [i]appear[/i] that he has a problem, but it sounds like you haven’t talked to him about what’s bothering you. I’m not sure if you’re upset because he’s using these pills without you, or if he’s using them and not telling you he’s using them, or if you aren’t getting enough sex, or if you’re worrying that he’s cheating. Also, I’m not sure what the time period is in which he’s used all of these pills — so if it’s in a couple of days, then yes, something’s probably amiss. But if it’s in a couple of weeks, not necessarily. So, no, from what you’ve mentioned, I wouldn’t assume he has a sex addiction.

    Thank you for just giving an outside view. Its been over a couple of months time that he’s used all those. I guess my problem is that he is using so many of them without me, however I wouldn’t want to do it everytime he wants it so I guess I shouldn’t worry about it lol tks.

    It sounds, from your second post, that you’re feeling left out — not so much of sex, but of the intimacy that includes letting each other know about your sex life that’s together and apart (even if it’s solo). Every couple has it’s own measure of comfort in knowing about solo sex, so if you want to bring it up, my advice is to do so in a manner that’s jokingly inclusive — and not in a way that puts your husband on the defense, makes him feel ashamed, or creates more of a barrier in this intimacy. For instance, with a smile on your face, you can mention that there sure aren’t many of those pills left — and while you appreciate him giving you a break, you halfway hope he’s using them alone and not with someone else — and then laugh and be affectionate with him, so he knows you’re forging new ground here that initiates intimacy through honesty without shame. I know it’s trickier said than done, but you seem like you’re capable of this.
