Funny, the scenario doesn't do a thing for me. I am not at all attracted to my wife. She is an alien beast, who has a lot of explaining to do before I let her touch me.
Maybe I fear being burned again. Maybe it's "I ended the relationship with my boyfriend." Or, "I ended the relationship with my boyfriend." Or, "I want to file for divorce in June." Or, "I will be filing in October."
I am tired of the suspense. Being on tenterhooks is not pleasant.
The bottom line is that if I were to go out tonight and pick-up (and have sex with) some anonymous woman at a bar, I would have more respect for this woman than my wife has for me now. And I am the father of her children.
But thanks for the effort... I know, you are trying...
Women may come and go in your life, but your children will always be your kids. They love you and need you. Hang in there for them. Sadly, quite a few women out there have an awful lot of baggage and want to "be saved" more than truly love someone else. Chances are, nothing like that is going to happen quickly or smoothly. So for now, love yourself. Don't be vulnerable or blind. (although I don't really think you are... just a little reminder during a difficult time of the year...)

There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
A little trivia,,,did you know that Queen's Freddie Mercury's (may he rest in peace) brother is Tim Curry?
Things will look up,,remember that you don't want to be in her position b/c her life is really in complete turmoil and she knows it,,shes' just taking it out on you.
Don't take it personally and keep on steppin' buddy!
Happy New Year and Good-Luck,
Kim

Mate, I know exactly where you are coming from in regards to the loss of attraction and respect for your W.
I have gone through these emotions as well. And I am scared that I am fighting for the wrong reasons, and maybe I am competing against OM rather than really wanting her back?????
I am scared of my response if W did come back and did break it off with OM.
I just hope is doing things for the right reasons. I can see how her mood and personality has changed over the last few months, and see the turmoil and the resignation of what she has done. Clear as day now (for me), and not as cloudy as before.
Also, the feelings will change for you. I really do care and feel so sorry for my W. I can look back at how things happened and can understand why she did the things she did. I look back at my life with her, and other than this huge mistake, she really didn't do anything wrong.
But in saying the above, I do understand how you are feeling.
Hope you and your family have a great New Year, AndyV
Hey, Kim. Thanks for stopping by. At the risk of abandonment by my buddy Rob, I need to admit that I am not at all a Buckeye fan. Nope. In fact, I am again growing weary of listening to all of the pompous, sanctimonious Buckeye fans around me. And I know exactly what it will take to shut them up. I'll give you a hint: it happened twice in 2007...

This was news to me... I fancy myself kinda a Queen buff... and, well, you may want to check your sources. Freddie was born in Zanzibar and grew up in India (his birth name was Farrokh Bulsara - he is of Indian descent - betcha didn't know that!!!). And I don't think Tim Curry was raised in India. And I checked. Their birthdays are five months apart. They may have the same father.... but I doubt they have the same mother!!!!!!!!! (Saffie, back me up here, will ya??)

Yes, I agree. Things will look up for me very soon. I eagerly anticipate the day that I am free from this purgatory that is my life.
That really was a beautiful necklace. You are a thoughtful man. Something that she's going to miss and kick herself for later. You are a better man, she is the one that is messed up.
I know you are depressed, I can tell by your posts.. Please take care of yourself, and you too are one of my deareast friends and I want you to be happy.
I want you to have a happy new year, and enjoy your kids.
fondly,
Tal
me: 37 H: 44 Married for 18 years this june S7 S3 porn issues, and much more... since 7/06
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
I can look back at how things happened and can understand why she did the things she did.
Well, here is where we are going to differ. I will never understand why she did what she did. Never. She cheated on me, her husband, and the father of her children.
