Ok so I have breast cancer and Ive had leukemia when I was younger. I have a very supportive boyfriend who helps me with everything I need.

We are very romantic and sexual.. we used to have sex a lot but now I cant because Im super drained and dont feel up to it usually.. it makes Joe kinda sad I guess and I dont know what to do because I cant have sex with him like I used to do.

helpppp pleaseeeee

I'm sorry about this. You're a very strong person, and you're very lucky to have someone supportive by your side!

However, you don't owe him sex. Maybe he still wants it because he doesn't figure out how drained you're actually feeling. Maybe he thinks you always did it before so he can't see the difference now. Don't be afraid to talk to him! You love each other and he always supported you. I'm sure he'll understand, if you tell him just how bad you're feeling in this moment, and how much you need to just catch your breath and collect your strength. There are things more important than sex, and you can still express love in other ways. Be very open and honest about it, he will put your wellbeing as his priority, I'm sure! Having to give up sex for at least a while isn't easy, but many couple went through this for one reason or another, and true love can overcome this sort of difficulty.

Good luck with everything! I send you my love!

Thanks for the advice and everything. And its not that he only cares about sex but it is kind of our enjoyment when we finally get time alone.. so hes not obsessed or anything but like I dont know..

thanks for the love ❤️
