but listen to me, and believe me, i've life two and a half lifetimes girl!! -- nothing and i mean, NOTHING, is worth wishing yourself dead! every problem is solvable and NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!!
you are not a BAD person because you might not love your H! your H is an adult and yes, he will take it hard if you and he break up, but he will not die, nor will you!! you will both move on and live your lives. i left my H at 35 with three children and absolutely no money, but i felt soooo much better and stronger after i left and we all survived AND prospered, and so can you!
yes it will hurt and you will have to start over, but as long as you have breath, you can do that!! it's simple really. just live your life the best you can, FOR YOU!
please think about this situation. if you are unhappy, why do you always want to put your H's happiness before yours? don't you deserve to be happy? if he can't make you happy no matter how wonderful he is, than he's just NOT the man for you. he just isn't and can't be. your H is who he is and that will NOT change. you've changed somehow and that's reality. live with it and make it work for YOU!!!!!

and yes, we all go through phases with the people in our lives, parents, significant others, friends. but you have to ask yourself -- is your H's happiness and contentment with the status quo in your M MORE IMPORTANT than you being happy and content in life?? if you can't have sex with your H, if you don't want to kiss and cuddle with him, if you really don't talk about anything in the evenings or spend much time together, why stay in a R where you're just treading water?? you're young and no kids yet, so quit thinking about your H's happiness and think about YOU!
check into the coverage issue so you can talk to someone professional. if not, pay the $150 and go at least twice to get a fresh perspective on this situation. an objective third party (which is this board too!) can steer your head in other directions than you would come up with on your own.
good luck honey,

I think you would be doing yourself and everybody a favor if you seperated from your husband and the other man for a month or 2 to clear your head so you can start to think more clearly about what you really want.
You and your husband are still very young and if you have to can start again, please no baby tell you do make up your mind.
By the way these boards are not objective we all have been or are involved in affairs and that fact colors are point of view in one way are another.
Your husband clearly knows you are haveing problems with the M perhaps he would agree to helping with the money to see a mental health professional.
Be well
