More than getting laid, I wonder if my H will ever snuggle up behind me in bed and kiss me on the back of the neck the way he used to when I was just falling asleep.

I1) I am about to file for D on my WW, and the emotions are going to be overwhelming.

2) There is a noted side effect to taking the drug, namely, libido issues. I want to be untempted until I am free and clear from my marriage (I have been veeeerrrryy tempted lately)


Kind of killing two birds with one stone.

I think #2 is a poor reason to jump into an AD. Be careful with AD they aren't just "happy pills".

Cheers,

Mike

Miker -

Just FYI, so as not to worry...

I was on Zoloft for about two years - in fact, I think it was a partial contributor to the state of my M just prior to my WW's A. I took myself off of AD's, and am going back on just for the next 3-6 mo. I have enough supply to last that long already...

Oh, pleeeeeeze - You youngun's are cracking me up. Of course you will move on and have sex again. You are just lacking a little life experience here.

I didn't have my first son until I was 36, my second at 39. Then I got remarried at 46. Before I got remarried (WH died), I dated a whole herd of nice guys - met lots on the internet dating sites.

Now I am an old lady, and was always kinda plain looking. But I did have SF again - a ONS which I regret. It was fun at the time, (though not EXACTLY monkey sex), but he was a good friend. Since then I have avoided him, because I felt so guilty. He calls all the time, but I don't want a relationship anymore.

But I can tell you FOR SURE, that after the D, I will run into a soulmate.
You will too. Don't doubt it.

Sex? What's sex? It's been nearly a year for me and before that it was sporatic. When it happens again, and I know it will happen again, I hope it is in a loving situation and not an ONS. Black and Decker, my best friend....

Sex without love -

I can think of nothing lonelier or more empty.

I was quite promiscous when I was a bartender for a few years anyway, but since my DD's dad whom I loved and my ex-fiance whom I still (God help me) love, I know that love makes all the difference in the world.

I have to love the man I am with, nothing less will get me in the sack. And from this time on he will have to love me too, without a shadow of a doubt because I am valuable and the most precious part of me will not be shared lightly.

Until then TT, there are toys and your very vivid imagination.

Love will find you again, and me too.

We will get through this girlfriend. With the help of God and our friends at MB.

After reading about gymnastics and Ironman training, your WH must have a HUGE hole in his head to cheat on you!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Having run one marathon and done some bike racing, I certainly can appreciate how f!@#ing tough an Ironman will be when the marathon is only 1/3 of your day!!

You go girl!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Oh Tree, it will. I have no doubt.

You have so earned your way out of this marriage, and love not finding you is just not possible.

The perfect guy is just waiting for you.

What a sweetheart you are.

Actually, I believe the Black and Decker company manufactures devices other than just power tools - removable shower heads, for instance. I'm just sayin'... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Thanks...our spouses will definitely be missing out as us endurance athletes can go the distance and more <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> And, yes with a gymnastics background too, I am quite limber which helps for certain positions <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I am looking forward to a full return to this type of training soon <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Happy monkey trails,

As much as we may doubt it sometimes, love will return to our lives again. The hardest part is thinking that WH has a companion through all of this while I have been sitting at home all lonely this past year. Getting out and meeting new people, including the guy I recently connected with, has definitely lifted my spirits and hope that I will once again have that euphoric feeling of beeing married to a man I love with all my heart. Keep smiling Tree...I've seen your pix. You are beautiful from inside out and your son is a cutie. Love will happen for you again!

Happy Monday,

Muels

I think WH are completely blind. On D-day, my WH never noticed the new lamps in our bedroom, the silk art above the bed that was finally framed or the 20 pounds I lost. It doesn't matter if you are a marathoner, a weightlifter or a gymnast, they just don't see us. For gosh sake, I'm a hula dancer. Everybody knows the reputation hula dancers are suppose to have. I've extremely flexible and have got hip action +++. Has it ever been appreciated? Never.

I'm sure some day somebody will notice. Maybe it'll even be WH.

Power tools for women------yeah
