Hearing the Fat Lady Sing

[Gordie]

If you google Jane Brody and sex...you'll find it. The article just focused on the fact that missing/griveing sex is normal and that it's healthy for friends, family and counselors to be open about that...and that it's nothing the LBS spouse should feel guilty about...the only recommendation was not to jump into a new relationship just for sexual reasons...but think you already know that.

As a counterpoint, I have a friend who is my age and his W left him and his two kids for an OM (serious affair down, but you probably already guessed that). He doesn't want to bring another woman into his children's lives, so he restricts himself only to casual relationships. He makes it clear to his girlfriends upfront that he doesn't want a serious relationship and that he is divorced and raising two children on his own and that he has no intention of introducing another woman into their lives. That's his choice and what he thinks is right for him and his kids...and he has had no shortage of girlfriends/sexual partners. He said he'll consider serious dating when the kids are out of the house.
