I"m in agony here...

Saffie,
Are you a therapist? How come everything your tell me makes sense? Your hubby is a lucky guy. I feel so bad for my girl now and I just wish she could find the strength to go to the doctor or talk to my DB coach and get some help sorting out her feelings and issues about her body. But I'm going to totally back off and just be here for her, and hope that when the fog lifts that she can find me again.

Your perspective has helped me stop feeling so sad and guilty that I did something wrong, that somehow I wasn't caring or sensitive enough. What scares me is that...how do I put this?...I'm told I'm not a bad looking guy for age 50, I guess. I keep myself in pretty good shape (after 20 years in the military, it comes naturally). In my line of work, I'm in contact with a lot of women, and some of them come on pretty strong. There are a lot of lonely people out there. In the last year, I could have had three affairs, but I didn't. I always came home...to rejection. Finding the strength to stay true when I feel so lonely and starved is the hard part...

Maybe that blowup doll isn't such a bad idea...
