The reason is not sex, it's the companionship and affection of a woman...I haven't had sex in months, I think I'm doing pretty great in that department. Going outside the M with another woman at this point in time, even as friends will probably do more harm than good...even if it's good for me or makes me happy...I'm good with it because I have a #1 priority and that is making me as attractive to my W as possible.
Regarding your comment on my W working, I perceived it as quite rude. I never took the liberty to explain what "work" my W does I only said she doesn't go out to work. She has been homeschooling our two kids for 8 yrs, she ran a successful business from our last home and is pursuing (although slowly and with me doing most of the leg work) getting it running again. Aside from that we share responsibilities quite equally.
I talk a lot about fixing it because I know exactly what I did. I've been to the rock bottom of having a broken heart. It's amazing what that feeling in your body helps you to see and learn about yourself. I get it, all of it and YES, I can fix it buy sticking to the principals I've learned through the DB books and others and by being open enough to say to the world that I made mistakes, recognize them, am not proud of them, and would love an opportunity to show you I don't want to make them again because I see what it causes.
Who I want to be is easy - the best husband and father I can, one that my W brags about and other wives are jealous of...I can do that, why? Because I want it for myself and my family deserves it.
