I've not posted in several weeks as I had given up hope. My W moved in with OM in Septemeber and was gone until Nov 1. She's been back a week now and I had a terrible week. I slept better when she was gone and I also cried nearly every day this first week she was back. Somehow the HURT has really surfaced finally. We had a very tough but honest talk on Sunday morning where it seems the Major difference between the OM and Me is sex. Shes says she "wants" him all the time... much like I "want" her. She says she still loves me and I love her and that there's nothing wrong with our love making... just it's so good and different with him. <P>How does one combat this? I realize she's in deep withdrawl. I also realize that the sex in an affair is quite often the best of someone's life. What can I do to help her? She and I even made love after our talk and it was nice. She's still working with him but NOT living with him... She knows that has to stop but doesn't know if she can give him up as a friend and lover. <P>HELP!

Texas Man,<P> See it is not always the norm. I thought mostly men cheated for sex and women for emotion. But I gave my h everything and more in the bedroom. He admits sex with her was not as good, but she cared about his feelings. He says. So he cheated!<BR>All I can tell you is talk, talk, talk and talk! Find out what she likes, don't say "what does he do that I don't do"<BR>But ask her what she likes? What's her favorite position? Or have a night that you call your "first night" What you do is take turns doing things to each other, telling each other what you like or don't like. Or if she's comfortable let her show you what she likes. Make mental notes that night. So later on you can surprise by doing something unexpected that you noticed she really liked. Talk about fantasies with each other, where is someplace you could "do it" or do something, w/o going to jail. But make it fun. I can't think of very few times that my h initiated really passionate sex. It's always me and sometimes I would really just like for him to take charge and tell me what it is that's good or not! Anyway ..<BR>I don't know where you wife is? Was she the initiater in the past? Was it you? Was it always traditional positions? Has she been uncomfortable with her appearance around you for some reason? Is it easier for her to open up to him because she doesn't feel as self conscious? These are tough questions I know, but without the answers you won't know how to please her. But don't lose the romantic love trying to turn on the sexual heat. Everyone needs that even if they say they don't. Love her deeply and learn to please her and her you as well and you guys could be on fire. <BR>M<P>------------------<BR>Mater<P>
