My husband & I are recovering from an affair he had that lasted about 2 yrs.He left home 3 times, and each time came back after only a couple of weeks. Everytime he comes back he can't seem to get enough of me. He is affectionate & passionate.However, after awile he becomes unresponsive. WE have been back together about three months now. Everything has been going great except for our teenager who is going through a rebellious streak.About the time the trouble started with her, my husband became withdrawn again. he says he can't stand the stress and conflict. The OW has gotten married, so I don't think he's seeing her again. I know he's capable of feeling passion for me, because he has proven that. He is going through a major mid-life crisis, and I have been trying to meet his emotional needs, but he doesn't seem to care about my main EN--affection. Also, our teenager is ruling our house. Any attempt I make to discipline her,she just goes to her Dad & he lets her do whatever she wants. He is upset with me, that things aren't as they should be between her & me. She cusses me, talks back,etc. He does nothing, and gets mad at me if I try to do anything about it. I am thinking of going through the court system to have her placed on probation and mandatory counseling. (She has refused counseling, and her Dad feels we shouldn't make her go.) However, if I do this, it will definitely be the end of my marriage. I will lose both my husband's and my daughter's love. What should I do?
