Well it almost seems like we resemble the sex-starved marriage camp more than the affair recovery camp at this point. OM seems to be permanently out of the picture with NC for 4 months.
In every other respect our life together with our children is wonderful. I don't see any way it could be better in all those areas.
I DO get the impression she's holding back, but I don't know what...whether it's just general talking and intimacy stuff (this doesn't seem to be a problem unless she's having thoughts/feelings about OM she doesn't want to discuss). Otherwise, we talk a lot and work well together solving problems, mainly with handling the kids and a hectic schedule. I make a decent living and while we don't have piles of disposable cash we do okay as long as we work together on the budgeting, which we do pretty good on as well. Better, in fact, than ever before.
I mean, compared to a lot of the couples we know, we actually seem happier and more content and together than most of our friends do...except for the mutual attraction and emotional closeness part.
