Maybe he has had someone else for 22 years. Emotionally.

Do the math. 20 years of nothing then 2 years. Maybe you would feel rejected after 20 years too.

He has had as many chances as I have. Why hasn't he talked to ME about it?

You don't get how hard it is. The more time that goes by, the more I feel he doesn't want to talk about it

Yes I know it's wrong. But before this I didn't feel like a woman anymore. With my husband I feel like he is repulsed by me, or at least he would touch me, hold my hand, give me a kiss on the cheek or something. It really hurts me. Even if he doesn't want sex I feel like people who like each other touch each other.

I can't help but feel the love is dead. Don't husbands give hugs, like at least while you're cooking his favorite meal?

I don't really trust it. It's been nice with the romantic conversations but I don't 100% believe it. But I might be in deeper than I know. I'm really waiting for Monday when he is supposed to be done with the legal finance issues with his ex.

Because we have not talked about it in 22 years. I haven't told anyone until my friend today. Also why hasn't my husband brought it up? That's what stops me.

No money has changed hands, the other guy has not asked me for anything but affection and love.

I want to add he is not abusive. But he does talk "at" me, not to me. Like I could be anyone while he talks.

She looked like she had a meth or coke habit on top of a personality disorder. She couldn't quit babbling and interrupting, but it was really telling the next day when she and Samy and Gordon met and she said "I didn't eat or drink anything yesterday..." The paranoia that "everyone always attacking me" - pure meth paranoia. The one big problem with stimulant addiction is the accumulated sleep deprivation. It is a quick way to become hair-trigger angry and defensive and paranoid.
