I certainly am not trying to tell you that your feelings are bad, or that you shouldn't feel what you do . . . feelings just are. What I am trying to get across to you, and I am only doing this because I think you are actually a decent guy, confused, but decent, is that you are doing your wife, your kids, your marriage, and yourself no favors by behaving the way you are. You are cheapening your life.
I'm not telling you to man-up and start Armageddon in your marriage. I'm asking you to consider living honestly and with integrity. I know that you care for your wife or you would have walked years ago. I am asking you to put that care into action and help your wife overcome her sex aversion. Maybe it won't work. But it just might. And you will not have to live like you are. It isn't healthy to split yourself to such a degree.
But in the end it is your choice. I do apologize for my tone . . . but not my intention. Have you ever watched a car crash . . . knowing it is about to happen but helpless to prevent it? That is what I feel when I read you situation. Believe me, your wife doesn't condone what you are doing, even if she just eats it and stays quiet. Betrayal hurts.
I'm a man . . . But I can change . . . If I have to . . . I guess . . .
