I think it’s about perception.

When I read the original post I didn’t see it as him being abusive, rather just words he said in the throes of passion and her wanting him to enjoy himself whilst also being peeved at his insensitivity at times.

Then I read all the responses and could see it could be read in other ways, particularly if someone has been in an abusive relationship and it reminded them of specific situations.

The second post seemed to be to reassure us that she was not in any danger and that when she put her foot down he would comply. It didn’t sound as if he was forcing her in any way, just suggesting things she could say yes or no to.

The pressure to want to please can be tough but she just needs to be honest with him that it’s stressing her so much she has been contemplating separation. His response will then reveal next steps.

Quite right.
I think the written word can easily be miss or over interpreted.

dangermouse - that's how I read it.

Yule logs? 

R those items on your 'reduced' offers from the Companies?  The staff in our village shop will remind me if I forget something that I usually buy, at least that's face2face 

Sorry what is an HA insert ?

Stress will not be helping any pain. Both are coming from same part of the brain.

I find distraction can take your mind off any pain do you find that your organising and thoughts elsewhere can do this ?

Excercise in tight clothing will not help matters. Breathable underwear like cotton is better too.

Very stress filled week. Non stop activities. Too much. I got prescribed generic vagifemn. Waiting on delivery. Referred to ob gyn. I have been organizing home removing things we don't need. We are not hoarders. It is just the non stop go go go that has been very hard. What can you tell me about this? Too much activity makes pain worse? It takes me longer to do things because of the pain. I walk over 3000 steps daily. We have 2 dogs. I got HA inserts. That helps. Thank you.

Had a nice sunny frosty start here in Norfolk and was nice all day but this evening wind howling round the house like the wizard of oz, rain lashing it down yuk.

Ooh bet they’ve hit a nice selection of seasonal ‘beige picky bits.’ Every supermarket seems to do them now. Party mini packs of ever more indulgent and inventive snackeroos. I wonder what they’ll come up with sometimes. I do love browsing those though! Mini versions of things for Christmas I wonder why we like things made tiny or into ‘logs!’

I buy my DHEA from iherb and monitor my own bloods annually.

I doubt my GP would know what DHEA is.

The reason I use DHEA and not testosterone is partly cost and access but also because I am on the combined pill for suppression of ovulation.

DHEA has been studied for safety and efficacy in women on the COCP,  but testosterone has not.

I maintain testosterone levels in the upper quartile of female healthy range and FAI of 5.

When the time comes for me to graduate from COCP to MHT I may try testosterone.

However if the effects are no different and I have to pay through the nose for it, I will happily continue with DHEA.

That all sounds sensible and it sounds like it's working well for you. I'm guessing a GP won't prescribe it as an alternative if they are unhappy prescribing testosterone, but I may bring it up with my GP and request an androgen test. Hopefully the meno clinic have suggested this in their letter. There certainly seems to be good feedback on iherb for DHEA.

I think if you add some oestrogen, even just for a couple of days, it won’t stay in your system long so maybe just pop some on and see?
