Hi GFI
It sounds like you may be in a similar situation. I`m separated from my H, no kids.
I wonder about gender differences here... always a potentially sensitive subject. I think friendship works really well in attracting women, particularly if there are trust or related issues at play. I don`t know if the same dynamic works well in attracting men. I have spoken to a DB coach who emphasizes that friendship is the way to go. But I am concerned that if my H gets the contact with me that he wants as a friend, he can feel free to look elsewhere for the other kind of "energy" that he may want even more as a midlife male! Would appreciate your thoughts on that.
Your sign-up date suggests that you have been doing this for awhile? Do you question how long you`re willing to do this? Does your wife have an OM?
I will search for the posts you recommend.
Thanks for your post... this is tough stuff, the toughest I`ve ever lived through.
