H and I have been separated for almost 3 months now, with OW in the picture for the first month and a half. She is now out of the picture. When he came to tell me how sorry and guilty he felt and that he wasn't sure what would happen with us. At that point, although we are still separated and not living together the sex started up again. For the most part, we no longer fight and are getting along fairly well. He has been hesitant at times for the sex to continue, as he says he feels somewhat guilty afterwards. I am not always so sure myself, but feel that it is a way for us to still bond. I am not completely sure it is a great idea or not, but it is better than it has ever been. I work very hard at not having any expectations about it and have ceased all talk about R. H was over this evening and sex happened and for the first time H said he wasn't going to feel guilty about it. Not sure what that means and didn't ask. Maybe its a small step on his part, and maybe its nothing. Just have to wait and see, I suppose. Overall, though, I do think that sex can be at least part of a way to keep a connection going.
