I honestly think the only real issue we had in our marriage at the time of the affair beginning was lack of sex, but there were reasons behind it 1. We'd just had a baby and had another child aged 2! 2. i was in and out of hospital with my heart so really didn't feel up to it 3. We hasn't sorted out contraception and we got pregnant so easily with our daughter that any time he came near me I used to push him away which must have felt him feel rejected I know - the thing is we were never really good at talking about sex so it kind of became this elephant in the room that we didn't discuss! Anyway by the time I'd felt ready to get contraception sorted etc, went to the doctor to go back on the pill, he has already started sleeping with this girl 😢

When he has explained why he has this affair, he talked about sex a lot which makes me think that this was the driving by force behind it and probably what this affair is mainly about!
