Quote: I am nevertheless MUCH less frustrated on a day-to-day basis than I used to be when I was actually thinking/hoping that ML might happen on any given day. It has made my life easier to simply rule it out, love my wife for the otherwise wonderful mother and woman that she is, and spend my time and attention on my own interests and on being a good friend to her and father to my kids.
This is where I am now, also, doing exactly the same things and not expecting to ML at all. Like CelibateDad, the med I'm on, Lexapro[ a form of Celexa], has completely killed my libido, so it makes it easier to not care so much. I, too, am focussing on hobbies and in being a good mom to my sons and companion to my husband.
Some may think it's a cop-out, but I do love my hubby so I look at it as a coping mechanism, not a cop-out.
