I don't get it. Isn't being 'good friends' after 23 years a good thing? I have nothing for rebuttal when he says this. Am I off the mark? if so, please tell me. Otherwise is he just making excuses - with nothing else to say?
Well ultimately you would like the passion to still be there but for that to happen you need to work on it. He is getting all the excitement from the his affair partner but that will eventually fizzle out. One of the problems MS is that he has no fear of losing you. How can you change that?
