I'm afraid I did the same thing. Lost track of myself as anything else when I became a mother.<P>That about summed up my two biggest mistakes that set the stage and landed me here as a betrayed.<P>Funny, they used different words, but it came back to not having your needs met. And I think it applies to men too!

Interesting stuff! <P>I bought his book, "Relationship Rescue" and need to keep plugging away at it.<BR>

According to a study, women have better, more frequent orgasms during days 6 to 10 of the menstrual cycle (day 1 is the first day of a woman's period)--which may mean a more enriched experience for both partners. <P>The exact time of day makes no difference; sex hormones are fairly consistent over the course of a day. <P>

Not really an emotional connection. I get all my emotional needs met outside the bedroom, so it basically is just a release. <P>Without getting to explicit, most times I do it just for him until he's finished.<P>His sex drive is much higher than mine. He could do it twice a day, and I am okay with once a week.<P>When it used to be once a week, I liked all the foreplay and really wanted him as badly as he wanted me. Now that it is 2-3 times a week, I just don't have that "urge" anymore.<P>I don't understand why I am like that either. Any other ladies out there, or guys who have wives that are similiar to this?<P>It seems the more frequent sex becomes, the more I just want to do it and get it over with.
