It's too HOT in here to THINK. +30C as a high today was too much. Glad tomorrow will be 22C but it will be raining.

Well, seeing as the poster on this thread is CANADIAN, THAT WAS REAL TEMPS. wink I actually had someone(an American) say to me, after I handed them back Canadian change, "I want REAL money." I wanted to SMACK her. It is REAL money. WE ARE IN CANADA.

Okay, so it was 90 degrees with a humidex of 100. HOT HOT HOT

Optimistically guarded...very good place to be in! I LIKE that your WH is a logical kind of guy. MB seems to make most sense to people like him. Do please keep yourself protected from any further false recoveries but also relax and enjoy the last days of this pregnancy.

Hi everyone, not much new to report, just going along the same as usual with WH and Steve.

I had a question - I don't know if this is normal or what it means...and I'm sorry if it's a bit...personal. blush I find WH is disinterested in me. Physically. If he's feeling turned on he'll come to me but 90% of the time he just seems disinterested and like he doesn't want to be intimate with me.

Is this normal? Even in the midst of his A he never seemed like this. I know I shouldn't let it get to me...but my feelings are getting really hurt. He just doesn't respond to me anymore. Is this normal for a wayward? Supposedly he's not in contact with OW anymore so I can't figure out why he doesn't want me....

I don't really know. I will say that if he is in NC with OW, he is going to go through a withdrawal and will be depressed. That may attribute to this. I know some vets will chime in as well.

He's in turmoil right now. Getting back to reality, shaking off his addiction - it's a lot for a wayward. Plus - don't forget you are 'big with child.' That's a lot for a guy's libido sometimes.

Don't worry, sweetie. Keep doing what you're doing.

Is is just the addiction and turmoil? I mean, YES, I am super pregnant right now. But, that never bothered him before, he always said I was really sexy pregnant, even with my first pregnancy, and now all of a sudden he wants nothing to do with me.

I know he's probably going through withdrawal....but is that the reason? Sapphire, are you around? Did you go through this when you ended your A?

In your angry moments you can just yell at her through the universe. I am sure you will always remember what she looks like, unfortunately.

You need to focus on you my dear. laugh

Since you are somewhere between Plan A and finding a maintenance level, be sure that you express your interest in him with no expectations of a response.

Dress sexily, be flirty, and admire him all over the place. Tell him what he does that drives you wild. If he doesn't respond, no problemo - keep it up anyway.

While he's still so foggy and may even be in deep undercover C, it's not possible to tell whether his lack of interest means anything. You won't be able to tell right at first which it is, so just treat it as a Plan A opportunity.

Three months from now if he's still like this, look for C because you will find it. Right now it's anyone's guess.

Yes, I found it to be very normal. My FWH lost his desire for me for a pretty long time. Add to that the A ended (if it is really, really over) while things were still "good" with them so withdrawl will be a real bear. Don't take it personally, NP. (yeah I know...I just said that to a hormonal preggy LOL) hug

There's been nothing to use protection FOR! :P I asked him tonight why he was so disinterested in me. He said he still finds me very attractive, but he doesn't love me, and that is why he has zero interest. I was doing everything - complimenting him, being affectionate with him, everything, and no response.

My feelings are very very hurt. I guess I just keep up with what I've been doing? I guess it's just getting to me because he's never acted like this to me before, not even while he was having his affair. Faith - glad to know it's not just me. It gets better, right??

well - only three more weeks until I can fit back into something remotely sexy... smile

It just struck me as I was folding laundry - wth is going on in WH's head?? One second he's saying he's done with the marriage, the next he shows up at home and says he wants to fix our marriage, even counsels with Steve. One second he's giving me secret kisses in the night and saying he loves me, and the next he's saying he has zero interest in me because he doesn't love me...

Wth?? Are all waywards this confusing??? frown

It's called cake-eating and fence-sitting. He wants to keep you hanging around.

Hun, it's CRAZY-MAKING to try to figure out what Waywards are thinking.

Just work your Plan. Plan A right now, with one foot heading towards recovery, while looking for continued contact. Take care of yourself until this baby is born.

NP, it DOES get better but it takes time. Again, he (hopefully) ended the A while still "in love" with OW. That makes this process much harder and can cause resentment. Keep up your plan A and have protection handy in case he decides he wants SF.
