When MM is "faithful" to the OW
| Mon, 11-10-2003 - 12:23am |
My MM insists on depriving his W of affection because of his feelings for me. Since we're not sexually involved, it seems a little strange to me. I also don't think his W should have to suffer. When I've brought this up, he tells me in a nice way that it's his decision and I really don't have any say in it. He says he doesn't kiss her on the mouth anymore, and they have sex 1-2 times a month. He admits that they used to be a lot closer physically before he and I started our relationship. I, on the other hand, do not feel any need to be less sexual with my H because of MM.
Does this happen a lot, where the MM or MW feel they should be less intimate with their spouse because of the feelings for the OW/OM?

Hi sum1,

but i do know MM and his W were not very affectionate and definitely were not having sex, and the same for my R. both are long-term, his M and my R, so we started as fwbs and progressed from there. MM and i have become very emotionally attached and i feel him being more distant with his W, but i'm not sure that's because of me, or just natural progression.
i'll have to think about that.
take care,

I’m not saying you shouldn’t believe him -- everyone is different, every relationship is different, and everyone handles the sexual aspects in a different way. But for me, I don’t know…I would feel like I was being fed a line -- it just seems so unrealistic to me. But again, that’s just me!!:)
