[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 69804, member: 1721"] I think seeing the counselor was exactly the right thing to do, Karen. And I also think we (women) have been getting the short end of the stick on this whole "physical part of marriage" thing for too long. Of course we lose interest. Too often, our husbands treat us as conveniences. We are human, too. We crave romance and drama just like they do ~ we just don't, for the most part, go running off to the nearest bar to get it. It always bugs me when we put ourselves down for the sake of some man who isn't doing his part to help us see ourselves as beautiful or desirable. The fault is not yours ~ it's his. People fall in love everyday. There are second and third marriages all the time where each of the parties, however old they are at the time of the marriage, are truly in love with the partner, with the sparkle and laughter they make together. That is what your husband did wrong. He should have been totally focused on you. Instead, he went off with some floozy to make a cheap imitation of nothing but sweat and clandestine drama. Not even anything for you to be upset about. But maybe it is time for YOU to fall in love, and to be cherished by someone with the good sense to see the value of what he has, instead of cheapening it the way he did. (Can you tell whose side I am on in all this?!?) [img]:rofl:[/img] What a jerk! Barbara [/QUOTE]
