[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DW here, add me to the list. Married 10 years, 2 kids under 6. I am terribly lonely, zero emotional connection and a basically sexless marriage (and what sex there is happens at my request and is rote). After many years of trying to talk to DH about this with zero results, I am miserable and my self esteem was in the toilet. I recently started an affair with a man in a similar marriage. The affair has helped me realize that my DH has checked out and that we are just co parents and roommates. I am in the process of initiating a separation. I just can't live like this any longer. An affair is just a bandaid covering a big wound, and is not the answer (even though it helps a huge amount in the self esteem department to be really wanted).[/quote]

Good for you for finding your way out, no matter how you had to do it. Life is too precious to waste being sad and unfulfilled all the time.[/quote]

Pp here. Thank you for your support. I have posted my story a couple of times recently here and have been happy to be on the receiving end of good wishes.[/quote]

PAR FOR THE COURSE
I'm a man in the same boat having an affair to save my sanity.  However, my story draws very negative reactions about how much a scum bag I am !!!!![/quote]

Pp DW here. Then, let me be the first to offer you well wishes on your journey to finding some fulfillment. I totally get where you are coming from. But...do you agree that an affair is not the long term answer? It helps your sanity but doesn't fix the marriage. What are your plans for your marriage?[/quote]
