[alexjimenez]

Reacting to your partner'serectile dysfunction (ED) calls for understanding, tact, and candid dialogue. It might be difficult to learn that your spouse has ED, so maintain your composure and provide support. Remain composed and show empathy as you engage in discussion. Express your desire to understand their emotions and your willingness to be there for them.

To have the conversation, choose a peaceful, cozy space. It is best to avoid bringing up the subject in a tense or public setting as this will just increase the strain. To avoid coming off as accusing, use "I" expressions to express your emotions. Say, for instance, "I've noticed that things seem a bit different lately, and I want to understand how you're feeling."

Promote open communication by letting your spouse know how much you appreciate their connection and that you are willing to talk about any worries or emotions they may be experiencing. Establish a secure environment where people may express their ideas without fear of repercussions.
