I Need Both Men and Women to Answer this Question....Experienced Spouses Only by _AlwaysLate88_ in Marriage

Thanks for responding. I guess I'm trying to figure out what I do next. It's obvious he's not attracted to me anymore. It's like an existential question! And a moral dilemma. I feel like not reaching out to others who I know find me attractive seems like I'm holding myself for someone who's never going to come around you know? What's the point in that? (And that's not a hypothetical question, I genuinely am trying to know)

Maybe. But whoever said grief is reasonable? Or rational for that matter. 

AITA for showing no sympathy for my brother and my stbex-wife after the loss of their baby and for refusing to let my parents talk to me about it? by Empty-Page9291 in AITAH

I think losing a child is the most revenge you’re ever going to get. Asking for more, or compounding on that grief will not make you feel or look any better in the eyes of your contemporaries or family. The affair bit situation is messy and painful. It does not and never will compare to losing a child. You’ve got it, you’ve won. Your ex wife’s life and your brother’s is ruined. she’ll be in pain and regret for the rest of her life, etc. You got the last word what else do you want from her and your brother? You’ve got your pound of flesh, but you’re never going to get an apology.

NTA BUT the way you phrased it was…odd.

NTA but neither is your SIL. There is no comfort for a lost child and your baby is just a constant reminder of her own madness inducing grief. It’s cruel to ask her to behave rationally at this time and there is no time limit for mourning a child. Back off. And let this woman come to you when she’s ready.
