Newby here, desperate for some advice (thread 6)

[Gordie]

I find the mere physical proximity just too difficult. What can I say, I'm a guy. There is just an attraction I feel on an animal level. That can't be simply reason away during an in-house separation.

I know I'll keep seeing her after the divorce because we have to keep parenting our kids, but seeing her briefly here and there will be far easier than seeing her every morning and night.

Getting over that physical attachment will be like ripping a bandaid off ... off your tender heart ... but I know I have the will power to do it. But, like you say ... it's the kids that break my heart.

Are you still sexually attracted to one another? W and I are still having sex but some here advise against it.
