I have been reading on the 3 stages of marriage, intimacy, conflict and withdrawal......after speaking to my husband about my marriage I think he went through these stages over the years and when he had his affair he was in the withdrawal stage........is there a plan to get back to the intimacy part, can 1 person change things?
any experiences in this process would be appreciated......just exploring options I'm a fixer by nature....

Jess,

Have you seen this?

Can a Marriage Be Saved By One Spouse?

The article is in two parts, so be sure to read them both.

I'll try to stop back to give you my experience.
