Thanks for chimin' in JJ. I have told her that I won't have an affair because it is against my moral code. I've told her that the only woman I want to ML with is HER. I've told her that I feel distant from her because we don't ML, and that ML with another woman will only make me feel closer with that woman, not with her. I've spelled this out to her time and time again. How can a woman (or any spouse) hear this and not have their heart melt? My W ain't buyin' it.

I really liked the "heroic acts of celibacy" comment. Maybe I'll make myself a medal.

Someone (who she trusts, e.g., not me) needs to kick her ass, emotionally. As in, "you're 41 years old, get over the abandonment issues that happened when you were a pre-teen already."
