From the last post, we are pretty much broke, living paycheck to paycheck. We are on the brink of banruptcy.
Girls (Daughters) have no clue. The good thing is that they are surviving without the much needed vehicle in Kansas that they both feel they need.

W is still sending money that we don't have. I'll just deal with it right now. Feel I can only deal only so many issues at one time. I am going to try to ask for help from family. I can't declare bankrupty or it can have adverse affect on business / career.

This is harder the second time with marriage around than I would have thought. Especially dealing with the bipolar.
W's meds seem to have started to stablized her moods and thoughts and hyper desires. Doesn't seem to have the need to
be shopping all the time. Or maybe she has come to the realization of how bad our financial situation is.

I am pretty confident that the A is over with the OM. Not sure why. W has started to be more attentive.
maybe that I why I think. I just hope I am not being naive.

W has said that she loves being with me, loves doing things together, loves me. But she won't give me any hugs or kisses? So I am not sure that I am totally convinced that I am the just the best thing at the moment until something more thrilling comes along.

I am working on myself, working out, trying to get involved in activities that I enjoy. Doing everything I can to keep focused on the my career and business.

I have gone to give wife hugs on occasion, but it is like she is pulling back. Not sure if it is the bipolar that is causing her reluctance or just lack of inticmacy that is causing
her to pull back.

So what do you do when wife gives the look of caring? Do you hold back or test to see if there is any emotion, passion, initmacy?

I am trying to work on myself. I feel like I am seeing my best friend go through this psychological pain and not sure how I can help.

I yearn for her touch, just a hug and kiss, let alone expect any intiamcy or passion at all. I love my W very much, and she even tells me that she appreciates how much that I love her.
I feel like I am in love prison, looking into the eyes of the person I love and there just at times seems to be no one there.

I feel like that the W's WAW has subsided for now, but also feel I am dealing with various factors of a sex starved marriage, midlife crisis and the bipolar symptoms.

Trying my best to be positive everyday, but still have those feelings of helplessness.

I still am desperately in need of more direction, support, advice and help...

It would be very much appreciated. To those who have responded thank you very much... You have been a big help
