She had no replies and it was in one ear and out the other and it was all looking away from me. All attempts at intimacy were summarily rejected when we got into bed. The night ended with my voice cracking and tears in my eyes pleading to hear "what am I doing wrong?" and "what's wrong with me". She somehow manage to let out a soft "sorry" while facing the wall. That is how the night ended. Well for her - I only had 5 minutes of sleep.

She is completely checked out. I see very little chance in things turning around. My new years resolution is to put my dick in another woman in 2022 - and if my current wife finds out, then so be it.

Thanks everyone for your very kind words. I would not post things like this if I did not have a great confidence in the quality of our online community.

I read Boston Saints's signature quote, and I wonder if Mora is talking about my marital situation. :confused:

But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing! it can be looked at as the mind’s ability to be open to new ideas, yet still grounded in certain realities our world
is based in. I even use it as a reminder of my spiritual beliefs because the idea that you “don’t know” is a part of accepting your place in God’s plan.

Sorry to philosophize in front of everyone. Point is, as dark as things feel now, things WILL go on. Try to think of the possibilities of the future unknown rather than destroying yourself about the unknowns of the past. My sister is going through a similar thing right now with her husband. That’s what I tell her when we talk.

It always is...alright after while.
