This was a good read. I will say that betrayed spouses could react differently to some of it. I do have to communicate more and tell her why I want her and will work on doing that today. Spending time together is kinda mood dependent. I appreciate the insight into her mind.

That was incredibly helpful to read. My BS is having trouble sleeping, panic attacks, lots of emotions all the time. I feel terrible for what I've done to him. I'm going to print this and keep it handy. I think it will help both of us sort through things

OK, I think I found a way out of this one. I found the article (with some minor changes it seems) on another website. I will send her THAT link instead.
Somehow I feel safer supplying that little bit of misdirection.
