Let's back up a minute here. Did your W really do this? Where on earth did she find anything to "educate" you with saying that men aren't supposed to want sex after they're married? Because I have never heard of such a thing.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. You still deserve a special day. My daughter's B-day is 3/22 and mine is 3/24. Our family celebrations often get lumped together, but my H always takes me out for a special B-day dinner, just the two of us, and I get to choose where we go.

Talk about the ultimate in "affairing down."

The department of maid up facts and non existent statistics

Men want conquest, after marriage there is no need for it so a mans focus/needs changes from sex (Because we already conquered our wives) to family and home.

Respectfully, she's full of horsesh!t.



I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

Oh. And it was all a deflection to make you forget that SHE is the one not wanting SF.

Pft.

I hate deflection.

No.

You DO know by now that I was born with a guilty conscience?

You really have to let that go. Pep is right.

If I defined my worthiness as a human being by my choice of ex-boyfriends....
puke Sorry, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Sad to say it but I think that is what some women think about themselves and project that onto their Hs. I will say that I do believe "something" changes in a woman when she becomes a mother that many men overlook. A new mother is now responsible for the nuturing of a child and that can affect her sexuality. You may notice something as subtle as the way she dresses as she adapts to her new role as mommy. A new awareness and level of protection comes into play and many men IMO feel neglected because of it. Just one more factor for you to work into the equation Gack? Are you dizzy yet? laugh

Gack,

I am so glad you brought this over here. I didn't want to continue jacking that thread over in SAA. I didn't realize OC is the first child for her and you. I would imagine that bumps your pain up a few notches. We have a few BW's that their H's OC is HIS first and the OW got what the BW should have gotten.

Writer,

I respectfully disagree with you about your line of thinking of why his FWW is avoiding SF. It feels like you are excusing her not filling her H's top EN.

Gack,

I think Pep is onto something that they upcoming year will be better. As a FWW I can tell you that the more time was put between me and my A, the easier it was to be fully engaged with my H. I never felt like I was "cheating" on xOM, it just took me a long time to go through withdrawl and fall in love with my H again. I think it takes more time for WW's to re-engage, perhaps because women don't compartmentalize as well as men.

Hunny butterbean Kimmy-san ...

I'm not a stupid 60-year-old. (although I did smoke a lot of mistletoe in the 60's) ... and I do have PLENTY of "how dumb was I ?" data from my sordid past ... BUT KIMMY it's a waste of time to feel "shame" over distant past events. It's a bad habit, serves ZERO purpose, and I, the wise and powerful Pep (who has your HOME ADDRESS by-the-way) am telling you to STOP it today.
