Thank you very much.

After my mother had left my father very damaged from all of her affairs and they eventually divorced (he became an alcoholic after the divorce), he met a woman basically on a rebound. They eventually married. They got along well, but I don't believe that he ever loved her, more of a convenience relationship. He was never really happy after the divorce, and he died pretty suddenly a couple of years later, and I never was able to understand their relationship from his point of view.

Taking away all of the philosophical arguments and maxims, I was wondering what the real "glue" is that keeps you and your boyfriend together. As I understand it right now, you aren't particularly happy, and he doesn't meet your sexual needs. It appears that you derive some pleasure out of the relationship with the amount of care you have been able to provide him. So what makes it "tick" for you.

Thanks for your time.

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.
