I have no problem with your desire to feel passion again and go to the guy's house. However, cheating is cheating and it always is a sign of some kind of chickensh*ttedness.

After our last conversation I pretty well figured you were.
Quote:
I'm tempted to just tell H everything right now. But....my best friend told me not to. She says it would be selfish. You would just hurt him. You're not having sex anyways so what difference does it make. And what if the guy just wants to F you, then what? Why ruin your M? What if he goes back and gets killed in the next few months? Then you lose both ways. Just keep it to yourself. If you make that choice, you need to live with those consequences yourself. and on and on.
So your marriage is really bad, and you feel dead inside, but not it's not bad enough to end no matter what, or if the other guy doesn't want you, so you want to make sure of that first before letting your husband in on it. I understand.
Being all giddy with swirly neurotransmitters wasn't quite what I meant when speaking of "rational choices".
You will do whatever it is you're going to do. I won't even tell you to be careful because you're clearly beyond that.
But do remember that "I will live with the consequences!" sounds a lot easier than it usually is, after the chemicals settle in the clear light of day, and someone has to deal with the clean-up.
Probably. Just remember that a single guy who will hook up with a married woman is kind of like a guy in his 20s who will date a girl in high school. His appeal might just be relative to your current situation.

I'm in deep right now and need to vent a little here.
He's home. The guy. For a few weeks.
I'm going to see him tonight..at his house.
I don't need people to tell me "don't go, it's wrong" etc. Well, you can, but I'm not going to listen. It feels like the absolutely right thing to do. I want to go. I need to go. I need to feel him again. That he's real.
Let me see if I got this right...I come on here looking for advice on how to fix a f*ck-up from 8 months ago, to try and save my marriage and I pretty much get my ass chapped about how I could do this blah blah blah....And then we have a similar position about to happen that might tear apart a marriage and we hear "A woman's got to do what a woman's got to do?????????"

I think my comments to the two of you were very consistent. Adultery is mega-dysfunctional-monkey behavior although the motivation is quite understandable. When you enact that sort of mega-deception you are mostly just lying to yourself about your unresolved dependency issues. If you came on here and posted that 8 mos. ago you told Miss IC "I'm sick of this no sex sh*t. I'm going out to the bar to get laid." my only problem would be figuring out why you still needed to join this BB.

Yes they were Mojo and thank you. I'm right there with you on the adultery issue...but yet I did it. Lying to myself? F*cking A right I was and so is LFL. Looking back, I probably should have said that to Miss IC...might have changed a lot, but as you put it...I took the chicken [censored] way out. LFL...so are you.
