I agree. Sex is a very important connection. It was the way I got my H back. OW was no competition. And I've known of marriages where the sex had gotten boring, but during the separation they started doing some different things, like the woman wearing ultra sexy lingerie, and it spiced up the marriage, a lot. And in that case, it did take a long time. Over a year, I think. But he did come back. Guess OW didn't have that nightie with openings for the breasts!
