You are right dialogue doesn't fix everything, but you know what it helps a great deal! Because you are talking, you get out what needs to be gotten out and a very productive way. Because you have to talk to each other, that is the key, to resolve anything! If we each are left guessing or wondering it makes things worse. You know what, I have been married for almost 18 yrs, and the bells and whistle of our relationship went along time ago, but it was replaced by something else, a mature relationship. Having an affair does give that excitment and different feelings, but you know what that will only last for so long and it to will settle into something more calm. Also age does become a factor in who us women feel...my 30's I hardly had any intrest in sex, but its true what they say women hit there prime and I want it alot more then ever before. WHat I am trying to get at, is that you have to look at some other things about how you are feeling before writing of the marriage or how you "feel" about your husband. And this is why talking is important.
