I am with a 46 year old man who might be going through andropause. He is wonderful sometimes and really mean and emotionally gone other times. His mood goes from one extreme to another without any warning and for no reason that I can find. He has no energy and very little desire for me. He does look at porn whenever he can, though. He also talks about wanting to see me and our not so attractive neighbor "together". He doesn’t want to participate, he just wants to see me and any woman. I think he’s not feeling any desire for me and wants to feel some kind of desire again. The thing is, I’m, so I’m told, very attractive and "good". I’m in great shape and not frumpy in any way. There are times when I can feel his love, but lately all I feel is that I’m the problem and he doesn’t like me. He says he’s depressed, but he’s on an anti-depressant drug, Celexa. He doesn’t do much but sit on his computer when he gets home from work. I’ve been patient and I’ve tried to be supportive. He just seems to be getting worse. Now he says he just wants to buy a camper and go live free. He wants to take me, too. He wants me to be a part of everything he does, even doctor visits and stuff like that. It’s like he needs me but he doesn’t want to need anyone. He has trouble sleeping some nights and doesn’t care about much of anything. He’s so cold and heartless to me to me one minute and then he’s sweet and kind. It’s hard to feel relaxed because I never know who he’s going to be.. I feel like he doesn’t want me anymore. He says I’m not part of his problem. It isn’t me that he doesn’t want. He just hates everything and feels like he doesn’t fit in this world. I need advice. I don’t want to leave, but it’s hard to stay.
