PM/Gordie--

I have to question that quote a bit ... many of us here show up w/ wives saying "I don't feel attracted to you any more."

I think there is a strong conscious and subconscious connection among the identities you list:
- good man
- good father
- good friend
- good mate

If your spouse feels that you don't quite measure up as a mate, there is a good chance you've fallen short as a good man, father and friend.

Or is that a wrong premise? Maybe you can be a great man, father and friend, but the romantic/sexual chemistry just dries up after a few years, and that's to be accepted as a normal course of events?
