Oh. And on denial of sex, like i said I have new feelings.

Mine was not simply denial of sex. My wife got into her mindset that she is in today, from a selfish pride that allowed her to treat me horribly. A portion of it was to remove the sex. Like I said above, it was confirmed that she was cheating on me. Our sexlife was great when she did it, but she wanted to see what an affair was like. I guess she figured I was already tied down and too dumb or mentally dumb not to notice.

In any case. If I caused my spouse or relationship partner to have a SSM situation because of my refusal, or if I am not giving her attention and affection, if I am treating her badly... After a while I would EXPECT that she would cheat, and she should.

The same goes if the shoe is on the other foot.

I'm getting tired of the blame the man mentality.
