I have no suggestions for this. All I can say is you are not alone. I have the same exact situation, the only consolation is to know it is the disease, and we are not the bad person here.

@blc1951 I also would like to know if the hypersexuality diminishes as the disease progresses. Has anybody lived through this long enough to know what happens?

I’ve gotten to a point that I can give myself grace, even if DH can’t. The thing these days is to try not to tune out when he starts droning on, comparing how much he loves me to how much I love him, and I NEVER measure up. All I hear is the Charlie Brown track- wah-wah wah-wah-wah, wahhhhhh-wah-wah. We used to laugh about hearing this track when we were high, but this isn’t so funny.
