Husband’s heart attack ruined our sex life

Whoa, a heart attack is super scary, so I’m glad your husband is okay! But I get why you’re frustrated. When my grandpa got sick, my grandma said everything changed, and it wasn’t just the medical stuff. Your husband is probably terrified that he’s going to have another one if he does stuff that makes his heart beat fast. He’s literally scared for his life, which is pretty understandable.

You guys need to talk to his doctor together so you can actually hear what the limits are. Maybe the doctor can tell him it’s safe to do stuff again, and hearing it from a professional will make him less scared. If you just try to force it, he’s probably going to panic, and that will totally ruin the mood anyway. Science and medicine are there to help, so use them.

In the meantime, you just have to be patient. Marriage is supposed to be through sickness and health, right? Find other ways to be close that don’t stress him out, like just cuddling or watching a movie together. If you love him, you’ll wait until he’s ready, but definitely make sure he’s talking to a doctor about getting back to normal.
