Can great sex and passion return to a relationship after one spouse has cut it off for a period of time. Has the "great sexual return" happened to anyone on this board. If so, what happened please.

Definitely yes!<P>With us Initially it was me, too much, school<BR>did not leave time for us. This was one of the things that contributed to my W having her affairs. She felt that I was no longer attracted to her, and when we did make Love it was just a chore to me.<P>After the affairs, knowing that my lack of interest was one of the things that caused probs. I made a point every day to show (not just tell her) how beautiful and desirable she was (no matter how tired I am)<P>Now things are almost back to what they were when we first met ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/wink.gif) , and things are great. I will never make the same mistakes again.<P>Hope this helps, ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif) <P>Jason

Sx is not one my W 's love languages, see <BR>The five Love Languages ,by Gary Chapman!<BR>but it was or is one on mine, a dialetic of<BR>Physical Touch. I withdrew because of anger and was actually punishing my W because I was mad about something else, would hold her..etc I was horrible. So...when Mr. OM<BR>came around she was ripe for the picking. She didn't want it, but like most.."it just<BR>happened" I caught it in time before the sex part OM was on a fast track, my W just wanted to be held and told how appreciated she was,man was I stupid. anyway...<BR>this was 90 days ago....we used to have sex about ...1-2 a mo! now its like 2-3 times a week, what a turn if we just learn how to fill that Love bank of our spouse,. Not all<BR>normal yet, but it will be withtime.<BR>

My wife has only just started to withhold, saying that it's not comfortable with me because of these new found feelings she has to explore life with other people - have freedom. She's a sex addict, and this is scaring the heck out of me even though she says she has not and would not do anything with someone while we're married. We're about to start counseling, and there's been no talk of divorce. She says she wants her old feelings back for me, but doesn't know how to get them. How long can she last without sex before seeking another man or giving in to me? I'm especially concerned that women may be able to hold out behind their "blocked" feelings for quite some time.
