Do You Have To Be Drugged To Stay Married?

According to this HUGE study, many say I do to anti-depressants after that vows are exchanged.

A startling 20 year study found that an alarming amount of psychiatrists prescribe anti-depressants to married men and women that don’t meet the current DSM criteria for depression.

It’s safe to say that our partners can royally piss us off, frustrate us beyond belief, and cause us to feel waves upon waves of pain.  But to be put on a drug to wade through the woes, I think that’s going too far.

Instead of taking a pill to stay in a situation, whether it’s your job, marriage, or life, wouldn’t you rather change the circumstance all together?

Why is it that we don’t want to look at options that don’t come with a mile long list of side-effects?  

Wonder About New Parent Sex Lives? Here’s A Peak

Awe… Welcome to parenthood.  The land of feeling like you are NEVER doing enough.  

A recent study agrees.  You can’t do it all, especially when you’re a new mom.  Having a baby enter the mix is a BIG transition and it takes a toll on the new mama’s libido.  

Besides the stress from becoming a new mom lets be honest and say, we don’t feel sexy after popping out a 9-pound melon.  We have this overwhelming urge to hold our young and nurture like crazy.  We become this mother hen clucking around the house making sure all is well.  

I don’t know about you but when I’m in “mom” mode I can’t just drop my panties and get into dirty wifey mode.  It’s polar opposite states of mind, especially in the beginning stages of parenthood.
