Sex

I know I am late on this thread, but I had a 20 year relationship with a man who had PD. I loved him intensely and was prepared for what was ahead. We live in different countries but were getting to a place where I could move to him and we could be together regularly finally. Then a bunch of heavy stressors occurred for him and then all of a sudden he broke things off with me because he said he needed to have more sex and opted to seek out “friends with benefits”. I am devastated. I suggested it might be a medication issue, but he gave no response to that. We are in our early 60s, so I am wondering who is going to be willing to take this on in a new relationship? The distance was never an issue with sex before. He has had PD for 10 years. Communication is so important as well as addressing the meds. He underwent some adjustments in meds about a month before the stressors hit. He even started on the dating apps and got involved with someone just BEFORE he broke it off with me and then admitted it later. He wants some “break” time from each other, but I think he just wants to go wild with the woman he met on the app. He wanted to stay in touch with me, but I am so in love with him, how can I be supportive even as a friend when I know he is with another woman? We are in a “no contact period” for a few months (my suggestion), but it will never get better for me and I need to spend the next few months being good to myself. I feel like my soulmate just died. This whole thing is not like him. I agree with other posts on getting a handle on the meds. Unfortunately, I am getting the blame through his eyes, and he won’t address it might be meds.
