MrBond yes I have read DB and DR. But I am about to.read DR again but this time taking notes of important points.

My W and I are very close and get along really well. If you read my ditch you.will.see that the problems arise from us having met so early.in life. For me that is not. Issue because I am sure I have found the person for me. For her, she has had a feeling that perhaps there is someone else who is mr perfect, thus feeling comes and goes. I am a very loving and respectful husband who has never treated my wife anything less like a queen and she knows it and so do her friends and family.

Our recent issue that has led to this is emotional and sexual neglect. I got my partner out of my business and I now run two retail business locations. I did not learn to deal with the stress so I became a wreck sometimes and my sex drive plummeted. She pointed it outout to me a few times but now I realize I interpreted it as nagging when I should have taken it to heart.

She believes she was sex starved although we had sex steady once a week. Also now she is on AD so she is not able to orgasm at all with OM so it seems it is more if an emotional thing rather than a sexual thing that bothered her about our relationship.

Anyway, you are right. I need help to get a better understanding of how I should approach certain situations. We still live together and spend a lot of time together and I have been able to be fun and positive, so well that she now thinks I don't really care that she is leaving. But I know she knows I love her dearly, it's just part if the script as you said.

I would like to type out a few questions or situations that may come up, and you and other veterans can give me pointers on how to handle them. I believe once I read those pointers I can then see what my position should be, and therefore be better able to handle unscripted situations.

If it's alright with you, I will start to compile a list in my next comment.

Thank you for your help! I now have two veterans on my thread! Love it and appreciate it guys!
