I know how you feel! I too have severe pain during intercourse and have a very low sex drive. Even if my sex drive was higher, the pain once we start would end it very quickly. I too think my relationship is suffering. I know that he does not understand, even though he says he does. There are times I will act like it does not hurt when it does and will be in tears by the end. I feel bad that I cannot satisfy all of his needs. Or even some of them more lately. But there is not to much I can do. My doctor had me on anxiety pills that I was suppose to take before sex, but they made me tired. So that too did not help. Plus, I am not a pill taker, I hate taking pills and there were to many side effects that made me very weary about them as well. I was just diagnosed with endometriosis, but have had pain for more than 2 years now. I am lost at what to do. I feel helpless. My doctor is pushing for me to have a baby, but I am only 21 aNnd sex is so painful that I do not think that it would be easy. He is starting me on Lupron in Dec. I am really hoping this will help, there is not to much more of this I can take. I know how you feel. It makes me feel helpless and is starting to get me depressed. I wish you the best of luck! Enjoy that little boy and good luck too you! Heather
