ED,thanks for replying to my thread. I was happy to read that you had never cheated on your W!! I know that there are men out there like you and they are to be commended!! I also feel that there are W out there who can have relations with men withoug loving them. I personally couldn't ever have sexual relations without love but that is my choice. Everyone is different and those differences are what makes this world an interesting place to live. Things happen in life that make people react in hurtful ways toward other people. It's how you choose to handle those hurtful things that can make you or break you and your R. If you go back and read all my story (first posted on INFIDELITY/JEALOUSLY) you'll see that my H had an A...I chose to forgive him because I quite simply loved him too much not to. I may never really understand why he did what he did but I have come to understand how he felt at the time. I am not responsible for his having an A but I am partially responsible for the condition of our M at the time he did it. Anyway I enjoyed reading your post and I appreciate the comments. Take care and much happiness to you! pfroglady
