Today, my wife told me she had stopped taking her anti-depressants a month ago in hopes of increasing her non-existent sex drive. I asked her if it had helped, and was about to suggest she start taking them again for her own wellbeing. She replied with, "Anyway, I'm just not attracted to you." FML

To be told by the woman you love that she just does not feel that way anymore. wow FYL

That sucks. Depression really takes away your sex drive in general, along with the ability to be physically attracted to others. It sounds like the depression talking. Maybe she should ask her doctor about trying a new therapy?

That's how my marriage ended. Expect her to cheat on you very soon unless you break it off first. Double FYL if you have kids.

Do it doggy-style. It doesn't matter how ugly you are.

let me guess you have her listed under bitch in your cell phone contacs.

Wow man that ******* sucks. I think she's cheating on you

hehehehe :) that might actually work or be fun trying! Hmmm, interesting... :) OP: Sounds a bit complicated. sighhh... Antidepressants does kill ur mojo. It's retarded but true. She and her therapist really need to weigh what is most important to keep her sane and safe, healthy sex life vs well being. All is not lost, but couples therapy might help you both get to your happy place again :)

So her antidepressants keep her from wanting to screw you, but without them she's too depressed to screw you. Wow, you're screwed.

Ignoring all of the typical "hahaha look at me I'm funny" internet comments... She married you, so she most likely had to be attracted to you at some point (so its still in there somewhere -- but you may have to adjust your older mating dance a little). You are probably just getting in a rut which can happen in any relationship at some point in time. It's a good thing that the attraction level can be helped out by doing things to help improve your own image, both from your point of view and hers. If something is bugging you about yourself, she's probably picking up on that too, so see what you can do to change it for the better. If you don't already workout, find some time to fit that in somewhere and possibly work out together since it relieves tension and stress (i.e. helps depression too). Too tired? Do it anyway because it will give you more energy later and get easier the more you do it. Maybe you need to change your style a little? Spend a little money and buy some clothes that will make you feel good and make her want to jump your bones when you walk in the door. This in turn will have her start dressing up for you (hopefully), and it should be game on from there. And last of all, try finding some romantic things to do that you'll both like. I'm not trying to say its your fault at all, but at least these are some things that ~you~ could do to get that spark going again.

Most anti-depressants forbid drinking wine or any other kind of alcohol.
