Ladies, I feel like an intruder for being the only male posting a comment on this site. But the thing is, I'm desperate. My girlfriend began taking Yasmin this beginning of this year, and i believe it's one of the main reasons I'm seriously considering ending a 3yr relationship. Since she began using Y, she's become a different person - a lot more emotionally unstable, and sorry to say quite self-absorbed. Her sex drive is almost non-existent, but that's not the hard part tho. It's the fact that when i hold her tight she often doesn't even put her arms around me, physical affection has decreased so much I often find myself thanking her when she touches me......when did it become an effort to show love? She's become very distant on more than one level, and i swear she doesn't wanna be with me anymore but just too scared to break my heart. I have suggested that this pill could be the cause of loss of her libido (can you imagine a guy addressing this issue with his gf), but she denied the possibility. I've done a fair amount of research and I can't believe how many women this so-called miracle drug is affecting them in these ways. She's honestly the love of my life, the only girl I want but not the person she is now. I've never allowed myself to become dependent on a woman to make me happy, but I'm very weak for her. I've spoken to her about my feelings a number of times but things are not improving. Any advice for a hopeless fool would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading

3 years is a long time to end a relationship. If you just started noticing then suggest she at least talk to her doctor if she is comfortable with it, and maybe show her this site. But remember, feeling change, sadly, so that may be it also. Hopefully it all works out and you two are able to make something positive come of all of this.

Thanks kates & dragonlady...nice nick btw:)
Appreciate your comments. Things have spiralled downward, we're not together atm - split up the day after christmas. We just couldnt handle all the fighting and constant tension. We're both unhappy, I only want her but she's grown so distant from me it feels like I want it more than she does.
DLady, I hope more than anything it's not the yaz but all signs (in my mind) point in that direction. She was never so distant and cold before she started the stuff.
Kates 3yrs is a long time yes, what hurts even more is that we took our time when we got together initially. So when we became an official couple we were very much in love, began discussing bigger plans - marriage. I was never scared to commit to her until this year, I know I'd be very unhappy if we were to get married anytime soon.
All a man really wants is to be appreciated and not tossed aside.
I'm feeling pretty empty and down, and just plain pathetic.
I hope 2008 brings something positive...

Hi,
My god, reading your post felt like reading about my own life!! Its been exactly the same with me, and I've recently broken up with my gf Michelle. Her reason was "its not working" and shes admitted since that she just can't seem to be happy. I do blame the pill, as like your gf, Michelle was one of the most caring people in the world until she had a month on Yasmin and has been a different person ever since. I wish I had some sort of advice to share but all I've managed to do (after many hours of arguing) is to get her to promise to go to the doctors. I'm hopeful that this might be on the road to recovery but will let you know. I hope things work out with you, I guess its nice to know that you're not alone!!
