Hi folks, I rarely post unless I feel that I have something to offer, but I do read everything and gain lots of insight from you all. I've posted this on the EN board, and now here hoping I'll get some suggestions... I have a question that I believe only you all can help me with. I'll give a brief rundown of the situation....<BR>28 months ago was D-Day. Christmas Eve to be exact. My H was entwined in a torrid affair, and i do mean *torrid*. After a few months of waffling, he recommited to our marriage, and we began the sometimes painful, sometimes wonderful process of recovery.<P>During this recovery, one thing has suffered completely and totally. Intimacy, none, zero, zip.<P>We've both concentrated on meeting eachothers emotional needs, companionship, ect ect... but for some reason, we can't get back to the romance. We're both in our late 20's, and this is really starting to worry me. It HAS worried me for months. I'm fearful for another A, and also wondering WHY he has shown no sexual interest in me. I think of myself as attractive, I keep up appearances at all times, watch my weight, so I don't think it's a physical distaste.<P>I guess what this boils down to, is HOW... men and women alike.. suggest I get this flame going again?? I've tried silly little advances, I've tried blatant outright "I want you now" yet, nothing. I'm really at the end of my rope here. My clock is ticking, but how can I even think of that when we hardly have a relationship.. know what I mean?<P>I guess this post is more for me to get this off my chest, and if anyone has any suggestions for me, well - that will be such a bonus. Thanks in advance...<P>Trace<P>

Trace - wish I could help, but I'm kind of opposite of your situation. I'm male and my wife had this problem before her A. I do recommend you post this on the In Recovery board - most of us here are still trying to get this far.<P>WAT
