I have a question. From what I'm reading emotional affairs are harder to get over than sexual affairs...whatever that means. My H was always the higher sexed person in our relationship and wanted sex more often than I did, this was very important to him and always has been or so he said.

So if a man who liked sex so much is having an emotional affair w/o sex, how can it last? I cannot believe he would stay with someone without sex. From what he tells me he can't perform right now so there is no sex with her. On the other hand we do have sex or to the best of his ability and are intimate with each other, the closeness and eye contact during sex are very important to him.

Maybe I'm just rationalizing and try to make his chances of returning to me higher, I don't know. Since he keeps saying he doesn't know what he's doing he could eventually end up on his own, also. Who knows what will happen

As long as he's making baby steps I have to believe he's going to eventually end up wanting to come back.
