[quote=Anonymous]So, middle aged DH here. High school sweetheart had moved out west in college. Lost touch for awhile but connected via social media (LinkedIn).  She just mentioned that she will be coming home to celebrate Grandmother's birthday. In full disclosure I suspect given the nature of our relationship so many years ago that if you peeled the onion, so to speak, that we both have what I would call sentiments for each other. So, she said she will be driving through my state on her visit from one family member to another and perhaps we could meet "on the side of the road". Suspect she realizes meeting my family might be a little awkward. I am at an age where I believe life is getting short so why not invite her to spend sometime (an afternoon) in my home ? I would have to run this by DW. DW and I are in long term sexless marriage which is of her choosing. I won't say that we both stay together for the kids but we are pretty close to that. I do not feel like I want to be hiding anything nor "sneaking around". So, tempted to mention it to DW and tell her that old friend will be coming by for an afternoon ?

So, to the DWs out there - how threatened would this make you feel ? Given you don't have sex with me, would you take it as a sign that I am looking outside marriage ? I want to be adult about the whole thing and be sensitive to wife's feelings.  Her removing the physical and emotional support from our marriage has made me less pliable. And not that I am looking for a fight, but if it was an impetus to force the conversation regarding the long term viability of our marriage that might not be a bad thing.
