Hi, COG.

My situation has been normalized for a couple of years now, thanks for asking.

Since you have come over to the SSM forum, I was wondering what we could do for you. My understanding is that your wife has to "feel in love" before she will consider a deeper relationship with you.

The problem there is her misunderstanding of love. I work, even when I don't "feel" like it. Love is a lot like that. The feelings go and come, the decision to act is just that, a decision, feelings or no.

I understand that you are going to stay with your wife no matter what, but you will have to breach her entitlement and self deception at some point in time before you are going to reach her regarding the sexual issues.

Has she read Michele's SSM, or is she willing to read anything at all regarding relationships? Is she willing at all to work on the relationship?

All the best,

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.

-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect.
-An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
