The article discusses the challenges of intimacy in a relationship where one partner takes on a caretaker role due to the other’s mental health issues. It highlights how this dynamic can lead to reduced sexual desire and feelings of incestuousness. The author emphasizes the need for open, adult communication and refraining from supporting childish behaviors to restore the balance. By focusing on each other as competent partners rather than caretakers and engaging maturely, couples may revive intimacy and desire.
When one partner becomes a caregiver to the other, the erotic charge between them is very likely to be reduced.
Your feeling of being mother to a child is most definitely not sexy; it connects your psyche with a deep and forbidden sense of incest.
