Choc The difference in my own situation this time is that I no longer have the FEAR of the end of my marriage. I want to stay with my H but I am no longer FRIGHTENED of it ending.
I think my H sensed this and by spelling it out that there was NO WAY I was prepared to go on in an affectionless situation and by me showing him I still desired him it changed his mindset.
It is still early days but I am determined not to go back to the way it was in the past. I would be able to accept no SL should his ED be a problem in the future but would NEVER accept no kissing or touching.
I wasn't sure if the EA was over but going on past track record my H is incapable of showing me affection when he is involved with someone else. Either that or he's gotten much better at cheating LOL.
Lose the fear and keep the determination is the best advice I can give you.
