Yeah I had a very hard time dealing with it. Self-esteem aside, I took pride in working out and was a ripped gym rat at the time of the A. OM was a short, flabby 50 year old but as W put it - it was never about looks, but the "connection". The money couldn't have hurt either I guess.

My counseller told me "No right or wrong answer, Deep, you want your marriage or your ego?". Still wasn't easy.

We had a very short talk but a good one. I think she's trying hard. I pick her from work most days, she spends all her time with me and the kids and I'm pretty sure they don't talk after office hours.

Just take it a step at a time for now I guess ...
