Maybe I am just jealous because I wish someone else had the answers to my problems. Instead I cannot help from seeing what I have to do.

I am also seeing/inferring why you and MrsNOPs were successful even though, as you both admit, it wasn't easy. You never did lose track of the fact that you liked yourself and felt good about yourself. You didn't need MrsNOP for that. You needed sex and needed her to show her love in a way that you could relate.
