Mine is not ww (that I know of), but for us we were still intimate a few times after BD. As long as you’re still keeping your expectations at zero, if you are comfortable with it and it meets your needs....maybe it is okay? Others have said if you know he’s involved with others you should not be intimate with him due to possible diseases etc. I feel like my H is the same way, once we’re intimate or we engage each other in a good way, the next moment or the next day he pulls away. I don’t take offense anymore, I honestly think H is just very confused.

Sigh. I haven't a drink in a while but tonight might be a good night for a pre-bedtime glass of wine.


Shortly after BD one night I was reading a book to them before bed and bam! In my face was the part where one of the characters was a boy who was struggling with his parents’ divorce and he was describing his anger, frustration and all that. I had to hold back my tears. Now that S10 and S8 both know...so far they seem ok. As long as you remain the constant in your children’s lives, I believe they will be okay. We the LBSs have to be that much more for our children. Good luck!!
