🎵 “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” – Your New Romantic Life (The Rolling Stones)

So…

Woman on Stallion

👉 How’s that working out for you?

(no irony has played a part in the creation of this photo of a woman, on a stalion in a field with rose bushes and lemon trees)

💭 Let’s Just Say It

This is the part no one talks about.

Not the doctors.

Not the support groups.

Not even your closest friends.

👉 Intimacy changes

👉 Connection changes

👉 And sometimes… it disappears

💔 My Reality

I gave up years ago

Before the diagnosis.

At the time, I thought it was:

• Hurtful words

• Distance

• Disconnection

And honestly?

👉 It shut me down.

Looking back now…

👉 I know it was probably the disease talking

But knowing that doesn’t erase how it made me feel.

🧠 The Awkward Middle

Here’s where it gets even harder…

👉 Sometimes they initiate intimacy

And it feels:

• Off

• Awkward

• Disconnected

Like the emotional piece just isn’t there.

And the flip side?

👉 Sometimes you want that connection

But they:

• Can’t follow the flow

• Lose focus

• Or just… aren’t there in the same way

⚖️ That Disconnect

For me…

👉 I need emotional and intellectual connection to feel physical connection

And when that’s gone…

👉 It changes everything

🪞 So What Does That Leave?

For now?

👉 It’s just me… with me

And if you get what I’m saying—

👉 You’re not alone in that either

There are some groups if you are ready to date or explore, no judgement, but there is a lot of advice on it.

💡 Real Talk

This isn’t about:

• Lack of love

• Lack of effort

• Or giving up

It’s about:

👉 The disease changing how connection works

And trying to navigate something that doesn’t follow the same rules anymore

💛 No Judgment Zone

However you handle this part:

• Pulling back

• Trying to adapt

• Finding other ways to connect

• Or taking care of your own needs

👉 There is no “right” answer

🎵 Final Thought

“I can’t get no… satisfaction…”

Yeah.

Sometimes that hits a little too close.
