So as the title basically. I started a new medication a few months ago and it has made me pile on the pounds. I used to be pretty average, slight beer belly but an average BMI. However, this new medication has ****ed that all up.
My girlfriend and I haven't had sex in over 6 weeks now. I'm convinced that it's because of how disgusting I look but she insists she's just tired from work (she has a busy fully time job, I'm a student). We don't have any other relationship problems but I can't understand how it can be so long and she's always "tired".
I don't know what to do. My weight seems to have finally plateaued and I go to the gym and ride an exercise bike at home so I'm hoping to lose weight soon - though my doctor said that this medication might make weight loss very difficult. But yeah, I would really like to have sex with my girlfriend. Is there any way I can find out her true reasons? Maybe I should be happy she is trying not to hurt my already cracked self-esteem further, but I just feel gross
