I was sexually attracted to my DW, but I know wonder if she was ever sexually attracted to me.

I have become involved with someone who is in a sexless/affection less marriage of her own. We started out as friends and now have become a lot more than friends.. There is passion, affection, great sex and a great friendship. The chemistry between us is better than any relationship that I have ever been involved in. It has everything that our current marriages do not have. If it wasn't for our kids, they is a good chance we would move in together and get married. Ironically...Based on where we both were in our life back 20 years ago, we would not have been interested in each other..

I know people will flame me for this post..





I could be the woman with whom you are involved. I totally get it.

Why in two years?


DD goes to college.



See, if you're delaying because of that, you really should wait until after college. Why would you fuck up your kid in their first semester at college?


Had the "Divorce Talk" with DD when she was 14. She told me that she always knew something was wrong with our marriage and she feels bad for me. She has accompanied me to check out apartments for when I make my exit plan. She is totally supportive and it's doubtful
divorce will make her any more fucked up than she already is by witnessing a loveless marriage.

Have you had satisfying sex ever in your life with another person?

We have sex about twice a week. It's pretty much the same as when we were dating 20 years ago. I used to want more; now I'm happy.

Ouch. That's a problem. Good luck.

This!. I'm willing to bed that not even Brad and Angelina are fucking like rabbits because they find each other oh so irresistible. Familiarity over time tends to erode that initial attraction/spark.
