We're seeing a therapist together, and I'm also seeing her, the therapist, separately, to try to sort myself out. I am miserable. But do I really want to throw over 33 years of fellowship and friendship for the uncertain hope of a possible future passion? Or can we, together, find some minimal satisfaction for us both? Or should we break with the principles of a lifetime and the promises that we made in church, and look at an 'open marriage'? It's all out there. But it's not much fun! I find it very hard to believe that life could get better.
