Quote: --------------------------------------------------- And I can't help but think that sex sometimes gets put on a higher pedestal than other LLs. It seems that way to me sometimes. ---------------------------------------------------
That's because sex is the only "need" that can only be met in its entirety inside of a monogamous relationship.
You can get other needs at least partially met via other venues.
Don't make the mistake of trying to assess blame in the relationship. You be 100% responsible for your half of the relationship. That includes having sex with hubby. Hubby needs to be 100% responsible for his half of the relationship. That includes treating you with respect.
MrsNOP and I have been where you two are. For now, I think it would be very wise if the two of you would set aside any idea of "fair". You won't find the solution to your problem by assessing blame.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
