erectile dyfunction

My partner  has been having a serious problem with maintaining an erection and very seldom ejaculates. It all starts out great, we are very sexual, but half way through, things head south. He can achieve  another erection but the same usually happens.  He is very  embarrassed to go for treatment blaming this on age (48) and it is putting alot of stress between us because he is so frustrated, which frustrates me. He works a stressful job, has been having trouble with gerd  lately. I also have noticed when he urinates, I don"t feel he has a strong stream and it takes awhile, he is also up a few times a night. It seems each time we have sex which is not to often anymore, it gets worse and he gets more frustrated. He could probably stand to exercise a little, but for the most part we are an attractive couple, I'm a very small woman, we were very sexually active, and up until now  had no issuses. got any suggestions.

Get his levels checked for diabetes and also to see if he has a UTI.
Also get him to get his prostrate gland checked.

Also stress can cause these problems and him feeling inadequate wouldnt help his frame of mind.
It wouldnt hurt him to go see a councellor if hes willing too.
