Downhill and off a Cliff

[OpenGuy]

Hi, Openguy.
I think that is a good approach, but on item number three, I think you will need to have your detailed response ready because she is likely to want details.

I can do it. It's pretty brutal. I don't know of much of a way to sugar coat it. I feel so much better having spilled my guts here and hanging them up as artwork that I hope it isn't too much of a let-down when I'm face to face with her again. I'm going to really try and take a positive attitude into this. If it goes badly then I'll do my best to wait until I'm back here to let it show.

Also, are you aware that you are particularly vulnerable to an affair right now?
All the best,

I'm sure that I could be. I would love some flattery and affection. I've been without either for so long. It would feel really good. I really really want my marriage to work and I don't think an affair would help that. Also, I really crave intimacy and I don't think you get that from any type of affair. I'm pretty isolated and have few opportunties. I guess that's fortunate. It also makes me a little shy on close friends which is one of the reasons that I wound up here.

I think your point is well made, but right now all I can think of is "ick". I just don't want/need the complications. I want my old marriage back. I don't even want "just sex" with my wife.

I'll let everybody know when my "wishing hand" is full.

Thanks
