I am definitly not happy, I also have looked at every situation and wanted more and different and better.

You are absolutely right about using this time to become more confident and happy with me. I did my self no favours as far as that was concerned by having an A.

It is hard to approach a C when i you unsure of what you need to know. I can see the waste if you dont get the right C.

Making myself happy without a man sounds good. It is not the physical things or financial things i need from a man. I think I need a man to pay attention to me and care about me - watch my back so to speak.

I wonder if everything i need is tied up with this intimacy issue. might go to library and look at some books.

Do you recognise any of my behaviours and thoughts in your wife? Even though we choose to have an A i have to believe that there are certain traits that exist in us that allows us to do it. My friends dont have affairs, my family members have not to my knowledge.

If your wife is like me, then are you handling your situation correctly.

It all seems such a mess.

Any suggestions about how to find yourself most welcome.
