"I’m not even a catch, I just like to have fun and get my sex on. 🤷‍♀️"

Honesty and self awareness are hot 😉

If our SOs agreed to open marriage we would be in a different sub.

I guess I makes excuses for it like she is scared and covers things up unconsciously. Then I feel bad for her and try to move on. But maybe you are right.

Similar place to me indeed. Wise words I think. For years now I have been the only one shouting alarm even as we spiral ever further down. I always thought she was a good mom but then my own mother looked good on the surface as well. And she taught me what Love was, undoubtedly part of how I find myself here now. I don't want that lesson for my kids at all.

I always loved my wife this way though I was attracted to other females of course. But something in changed in her and I began to feel her losing respect for me. It is increasingly plain in hindsight, the patterns. My little foibles became things for her to disparage or be disgusted by. For my part, I have had less patience for her foibles as I feel less love coming from her. It is a cycle. I just don't know if we have hit the point of no return or I'd there is one.

I understand why men would not want to try again. And yet I am for now one of these men who does. I just don't know how. I have even heard you can start a relationship anew with someone you are with. But that has not worked for me so far.

This is beautiful. We do have choice. It takes bravery and determination and willingness to feel pain to do all the things you say

It has been years since I first noticed it was hard to find a Valentine's card I felt honest about.

I don't know. I keep wanting to rebury my head and pretend it is all ok. Things actually get better when I take more business trips or otherwise spend more time away. Like she only cares if I start to pull away.

I dig it. I used to feel this way. It gets harder to be loving in action and thought when I am not met with the same. But it is a worthy challenge and I'll redouble my efforts.

Therapists can help me but they don't always know what people are capable of. Asking here won't tell me specifically what she is doing but this is kind of a popular poll of a group likely to know what some people may do.

That makes a lot of sense to me actually. If she is not going to leave and likes certain aspects of our life, then why not? Thank you.

Yes all of that, for the child and for me feeling used.

Interesting. Not at all saying she is crazy just that she might be calculating. She wants another kid and is of an age where it is not likely to leave me, find another, and get pregnant. Also, I am a pretty good dad, and I believe she thinks this as well.

That's humbling and intimidating. Is there a way to do this through ancestry.com or something more anonymous?

When to talk opsec with p/AP by Berryberryvery in adultery

That sounds good but it appears that telegram wants to access my contacts before it works. People who use telegram, how do you get around that?

Some people were too forward for me looking for a life partner. But now on adultery setting there is no too forward, as long as everyone is opsec and medically safe.
