My wife is furious at me 3 weeks post RARP
My wife is a wreck since my surgery - depressed and won't talk to any of her friends. She is convinced that I made a terrible mistake having the surgery. It's like we are living on different planets. Instead of being supportive and helpful, she is downright sadistic and cruel with things she says to me. She has convinced herself that I will never be the same as before, our sex life is over and I was selfish for not thinking of her when I opted to have cancer removed from my body. We have been married for 30 yrs and we have been through some rough patches, but this is right there at the top of the worst of times. There do not seem to be many support groups for spouses of prostate cancer fighters, and what she has found supports her thesis that return to normal sex life is unlikely. I had complete nerve sparing on both sides and have already experienced some twinges of hope, if you know what I mean. I can't wait to poke her in the eye with it one day soon if we make it that long. Just wondering if any of you have had similar experience and how long it took for her to come around if ever?

Hopefully you will be back to fairly normal soon WRT sex. Please be happy with a spouse who wants to have sex with you...some of us are envious!

I have had climaturia since my RP in 2021. My sex life with the woman I was married to at the time tanked. was great pre cancer. I eventually divorced her (other issues as well) and am now in a relationship with a fantastic, supportive woman. Sex life is great.
The climaturia is a 2 edged sword. Of course, I am ejaculating urine. But, honestly, the orgasm feels better with fluid coming out and it feels the same as ejaculating semen. My current partner has no problem with it at all. She likes it and is happy it feels good for me. No condoms. What a change from my first wife! I am having a penile implant in 2 weeks as the Trimix/Quadmix are getting less effective and we are tired of not being able to have spontaneous sex and more frequently than 3x a week.
