A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Would you stay with your husband, if he can't get an erection when you try to have sex, and he has no idea why?

It started suddenly after a a huge argument, when he said, "I never loved you, I just stayed with you". Then 2 weeks after this, his erection was gone for ever....

But now, he is impotent, and it's been like that for 2 years ago. .

I'm panicked, what should I think? He now says, he loves me, and he does not know why. What would you do,in my situation?

Daniel the love doctor agony auntI completely agree with Candid Cally. Couples counseling is the way to go in this situation. That argument seemed to have dramatically changed your sex life- and played a role on his concentration and feelings for you in the bedroom. If you both go to therapy, and your issues are resolved BUT you're still having problems in the bedroom... then it may be more of a physical thing. In that case I would recommend that he sees a Urologist.

Here's some additional reading that may be beneficial for him: http://www.dearcupid.org/question/guys-what-to-do-if-youre-suffering-from.html

A female reader, Candid Cally United States +, writes (28 November 2011):

If I loved him, and was sure he felt the same way, I would encourage him to see and discuss the issue with his doctor so he could get a full check up. Impotence can have physical causes and his doctor could perform the necessary medical tests to either confirm or rule this out.

I think your relationship could benefit from couples counselling. The fact that you both seem to be holding on to an argument from years ago means you are not communicating effectively to one another. Seeing a couples counselor who can act as a mediator between you and your husband while you discuss your relationship could help both of you decide whether you can work together to overcome the issues from the past and move past them, or if your relationship is simply unfixable (which I don't think is the case) and it is time to move on.
