Well since I am only writing to you I do not understand how you are meeting all her needs if when the two of you are together she feels pressured.

She also stated that she finds it hard to be affectionate because she fears it will just lead to sex.
Sounds like YOU need to work on this, being together without having it lead to something else. This would help the two of you to be together more. How many hours per week do the two of you spend together besides sleeping?
I do think that both of you seeing doctors would be a good idea. Maybe it is something medical that would be an easy fix.
Has your wife fore given you from going outside the marriage? Have you fore given yourself?
As far as success stories, I am sure that you can be a success story if you are both willing to work at it and make it happen.
Cadet, yes we have both moved past the affair. The connection between affection and sex is the first time I have ever her het make that comment in 30 years. I find it hard to understand because we have not been intimate in years. If there are things I can work on or do differently, I will but I see it as both our problems. The question is can it be overcome?
