Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. I’m truly sorry that you are dealing with such difficult situation. These forums are great for sharing burdens, and venting. Regards to your question about your attraction towards this man Do you sense that he is trying to attract you? From my experiences when I find coworkers attractive in time you will become accustomed to working with him, as long as you can hold on your strengths resisting reinforce the attraction that is ok. I’m glad to know that you avoid him and desire to be faithful to your husband. Remember that love is not a feeling or emotions or to feel sparkles on the belly. Love is to make a decision for your husband not matter if you meet a man more intelligent, more attractive, more thoughtful, with more skills, more financially successful, etc. In the same way is for your husband. May I ask you: Is your husband possibly missing something from your fulfilling your needs or is there something that is affecting you in your relationship with your husband?
Counseling or therapy works through things like this. You and your husband are both valuable and worth of fighting for. ! I hope this helps. Sending you hugs. I will keep you in my prayers, my friend. Keep us posted, OK?.

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. I’m truly sorry that you are dealing with such difficult situation. It is understandable the way that you feel because you would like that the things went better with your father. These forums are great for sharing burdens, and venting. Even in the darkest moments in our lives there’s always hope. This age is a tough age for them. They discovered that they have a lot of limitations and have to depend of others. Have ever thought of forgiving your father for anything that he did to you in the past that hurt you? Forgiveness does not mean that these things did not happen or that he did right but it means that you let the problem go and you appreciate more that he gave you life and all the sacrifices that he did for you and your siblings. In spite of this I encourage you to treat him with more patience and love. People in this age are expecting to receive more understanding, patience and love. I encourage you to let him know how much you love him. When you visit him, give him hugs, look at his eyes while you are talking to him and hold his hands with affection or tell him, Dad I’m glad to see you again! I encourage you to let him know that you want to improve the communication with him. That’s why you ask him to use the hearing aids. Does your father have a cell phone or iPhone? Have you considered to communicate with him through What’s app or Facebook messenger? That you have to do is only to create an account and it works like a Skype you can do video calls, he only has to press a button. If he is not interested in any of this, at least try one more thing, simply typing letters to him and telling him how you feel and if there is a particular point of topic of concern or interest you wish to discuss with him in a kind way, he will have time to think and reflect what want you to tell him. Do you have a faith or believe system to help guide you through this? I hope this helps. Sending you hugs. I will keep your father and all of you in my prayers , my friend.
