    I have been married for almost 10 years. My Husband is/was the center of my life. I never enjoyed sex before him, never wanted an active sex life before him, all related to abuse issues in childhood. But he was my God send. He made me feel things I never thought possible, made me crave things I had never had a taste for before. We had a great marriage, wonderful sex life and then WAM! He took a job overseas, was only home one week every three months and he had an affair. I know he made a mistake, I know he is sorry, I know he is doing everything to make up for his actions. We are almost a year into the healing process and I want so much to feel the comfort I once did. I still crave him every second of every day, more than ever actually since I came so close to losing him. I want him all the time, he on the other hand is a working man, deals with a stressful job and struggles to meet my needs. I torture myself with thoughts of him only performing out of a sence of duty. I torture myself with thoughts of not being what he wants, why else would he have tried someone new? I want to be comfortable again but wonder if it will ever happen. How can I know he has a REAL desire for me? How can get my self esteem back, my confidance, not doubt myself constantly?

    The kind of healing your doing takes time, so don’t beat yourself up because things aren’t going exactly the way you want in exactly the moment you want them. Allow the healing process to happen.

    In the meantime, what you can do is spice things up in the bedroom to try and entice him and give him the gift of your sexual self so he doesn’t perform out of a sense of duty, and you don’t feel like he’s just performing his duties, but instead, is aroused and excited by being with you. I have written a book that will help you a lot called Romantic Date Ideas, and you can download it here [url]http://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/romantic-date-ideas.html[/url]. I think it’s going to give you a lot of creative suggestions to start heating up your sex life again.

    In addition, understand that he is working hard, and stress zaps sexual energy, so you might want to take care of him in other ways, too, like giving him a massage to release stress and bringing him a cocktail while you listen to him vent about his day, all the while you’re wearing something enticing and sexy. In other words, give yourself the gift of feeling sexy and acting sexy, and give him the gift of listening, understanding, and presenting yourself to him in a sexy wife way.

    I hope that helps. Let me know how things go.
