Does Endo make woman act mean and toward her significant other?

I need some help with this one in order to help a friend who needs some understanding of the situation and for myself so that I don't give him bad advice or judge someone on something that I have not experienced myself.

My friend and his wife have been married for about three years now and together eleven. The first two years of their relationship was great in nearly every way.

Then after two years she started to change her personality. She was diagnosed with endo and has been on medication that messes with her hormones ( I am not sure what the medication is only that it alters her hormones). I understand that when you have endo sex can been incredibly painful and I can completely understand why woman would not desire intercoarse but does it also prevent you from wanting to do another things...like kissing and other forms of forplay?

Too his wife suddenely oral sex has become degrating. It makes her feel dirty. One time they were making love and he thought that she wanted his to kiss her and really passionatly touch so he did and she screamed " Get off me your all over me!" and another time she had gotten out of the shower and was playing guitar hero and turned him on so he came up behind her and whispered something sensual and she freaked out on him again and told him to get off of her. Another time he just wanted to take a shower with her and she said no because she was washing her hair and he even offered to wash her hair just to be next to her and she said no. She said alot of cruel things to him including something that he will never tell me. I think I've said enough to where you get the point. Whenever he tries to suggest ANYTHING physical she either ignores him, flat out says no, or laughes at him.

I know that you might wonder why the hell he is telling me his business and not talking to his wife....before I get any possible judgment...everyone need someone to talk to and yes he has tried talking to her about his feelings. Her response was I don't need counseling, there's nothing wrong with me, I don't need to to change, are marriage his fine, people who have sex more than once a week are weird and not normal.

He is a broken man and the only thing he knows to defend her actions is the endo.

Do you guys out there treat your husbands or boyfriends like that?

I really want to understand this....is it the endo or is it something more than that with this siutation. I feel like in someways he is being emotionally abused. She doesn't make him feel attractive and she is not affectionate either.

Help!

The behavior you're describing is very common for a woman with hormone changes, hormone imbalance and/or associated pain. I've had a number of clients with this problem; they can get hyper-sensitive to smells, textures, tastes, light, and get turned off to things they used to love. This includes things like sexual activities and foods.

This can happen to women in their 20's and 30's, and often happens in the 40's-on, when they start to experience menopause. You can almost EXPECT it to happen when a woman has a complete hysterectomy (both ovaries and uterus removed).

It takes patience and understanding on both partners' parts to handle the changes. Hormone therapy can work, getting off birth control pills has worked for some.

Endometriosis is usually a RESULT of hormone imbalance, and can be very painful. This pain can then affect the woman's mood. It's the hormone imbalance and hormone changes that can directly affect mood, taste, desire.
