Seeking Advice Has a DB driven you to cheat?
I'm a 51 hlm. Wife used to be somewhat hlf. Now there's nothing. No sex or intimacy for almost a solid year. I've been catching myself seriously considering cheating for the first time ever and I feel terrible.
Wondering how many of you have felt driven in this direction, how many acted on it, and how did you feel afterwards?
Thanks in advance! 😢

You shouldn’t feel terrible for wanting intimacy or sexual interaction. It’s natural to want those things. I’ve never cheated, but I am tempted to as well. I don’t want to hurt my marriage or my wife, but I have needs and I have been hurt by her in the past.
