Spousal support

[Witheringhog]

I believe that many wives and girlfriends may feel threatened by it, especially in situations where ED and no sex where present for a while.
I think they feel that you, wanting this implant, relates to you wanting sex in general while they are content in a sexless relationship.
I believe they may feel threatened by it in that it indicates that you are seeking sex and if they are not desiring it, you will and are VERY capable of finding it elsewhere.
Much the same as a wife who all of a sudden starts focusing on her appearance after a long time having not been concerned about it. Red flag that she is running astray or, at the very least, thinking about it.

Totally agree with the first part, i think alot of women just dont like sex and would rather be in a sexless marriage. Not sure about them thinking its a red flag, i am sure some do, i think more would just be annoyed they have to do their wifely duty.

My wife said she was surprised that I wanted implant but was supportive throughout. And since she said she was glad I did it.

I have an appointment scheduled for an implant 0n 1/25/24, and getting minimal to no support from my 17 year younger wife. Anyone had this type of an issue ? We have been married for 25 years, and up until 5 years ago, enjoyed a pretty good sex life. Increasing ED made sex impossible 3 years ago.

My wife was very skeptical about me getting an implant.

Our sex life had been practically nonexistent for years. So, it made sense that she would be doubtful that there would be a change with the implant.

But I was confident and went ahead with it.

Since I've gotten the implant, our sex life has gotten much better.

So, it worked out well for me and us even though she wasn't supportive prior to the operation.
