Both can hurt self esteem to result in to erectile dysfunction and more. Chris is one of the quiet types. A workaholic, answering only when asked, otherwise minds his own business. He is not one of those who would share the whole book on his life on a slightest inquiry, for he is least sharing kinds.

Chris is an IT manager with an IT major. His wife is a chartered accountant with a call centre. She earns at least 25% more than him. Though not overtly, but in almost all departments of their home and professional lives her views and decisions prevail. Chris submits to her opinions as much as he has to when it comes to his interaction with his boss. The latter too forces himself on Chris with complete disregard to his views.

Among his colleagues at office his image is likened to a docile cow which can be pushed around at will. But Chris knows that he is just a gentleman, intelligent, competent and well verse with his ways at the job and home. Yet he allows the big-mouth to shut him up because he is simply not their kind.

One of the most serious fallouts of Chris' battered self-esteem is his badly affected sexual life. He suffers from occasional and sometimes persisting erectile dysfunction.

With an unpleasant boss in his office and an arrogant one in his wife at home he thinks he is no more a man in the conventional sense.

A close friend, and an only one that he has in whom he confides, advises him to see a psychologist. After a few sessions with the doctor he discloses that he hates to be at home as much at his office and that given a chance he would like run away from all this.

Chris is given counseling on how to come in grips with his situations at home and office. He is made to understand that he has to put his foot down in certain issues to begin with. That he should try to make his boss understand that his views are taken seriously and he be allowed certain freedom in his official capacity. In case his boss is uncooperative Chris should think of change and must start looking for a professional company. There are quite a few job consultants who can deliver.

On home front Chris must tell his wife how badly he is affected by her temperament which is affecting their personal lives, and get her around appreciating. A joint session at the psychologist's is strongly recommended.

Chris is advised to take Cialis, a popular medication to treat erectile dysfunction, meanwhile. On physical recovery he will move a step closer to the recovery of his self esteem and this should translate into normal sexual life.

The advice did wonders and changed his life. He was now in much better position with a new professional company that he joined after a rigorous search. He found his spouse turning sensitive to his feelings too.
