Hang on jim
There's a lot in what you write that I can relate too. PD is in many ways a cruel disease. Sexuality is a good example. So many of our drugs affect our libido and performance, often in opposite directions. And when our mates are not in sync with us it can become a very sad situation.
No one can understand what we deal with when we appear normal so much of the time. How much of a struggle it is to just go over there and get a pill. It isn't just a matter of will.
So many of us are in relationships where we were always the strong ones. Now that we are not, things get rocky.
Wish I could tell you it will get better...
