You know, I was sitting there this a.m. thinking this same thing. Same sh*t, different day. Here I am, H deployed, taking care of 3 little boys, 7, 3 & 1, working full-time, obviously the only one doing laundry & cooking Anyway, that's how I am feeling. Crap!!!! But then we can look at it differently -- we (all of us) are so blessed with what we DO have. It could be so much worse. LFL, you have your kids and a H who truly does love you. It may not be exactly what you would want if you could list every single thing you would want in your M, but if we take the time to think about things in a positive light, it helps a lot.
As for the OM, yeah, excitement, that thrill going through your body thinking about the SL you had w/ him, the thought that someone other than your H thinks you are attractive. That could be cool -- I wouldn't mind that, but do you need/want the fall out? Or do you want to put that extra energy that's running through you toward your M? Initiate some hot, not gonna forget any time soon S w/ your H - spice things up even if your H may not be putting forth any effort. Sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and be the one who does it even though we already feel we've done enough & it's their turn.
