Turning My Marriage Around


For the past few weeks, I have been worried my husband was starting to have an emotional affair with a woman from work. They would talk on the phone for up to 90 minutes and text each other all the time. We were on the way to visit my parents one afternoon when we made a pit stop to meet this other woman at a house she was thinking of buying.  She wanted his opinion. The house was not too far from where WE lived. I shook her hand and said, "So, you are the woman that flirts with my husband". She laughed and glanced at my husband, who smiled at her and then at me. 

My jealousy got the best of me and I started crying myself to sleep. Then it hit me. If I didn't want to lose my husband to another woman, I had to change my ways to keep him interested in ME. We hadn't been intimate for awhile and I was used to dressing down and not caring about my hair and stuff. A week ago, I started to dress up and make sure my hair and makeup were done before he walked in the house. I started touching him more and rubbing his back and shoulders after work. I started staying up later than I normally do just to sit with him or lay in bed and talk to him about the day. Finally, the other day we had spectacular sex and he said he loved me, which he hadn't said in awhile. I was the happiest woman in the world. 

He says he is having a hard time getting used to the new me, because I never used to touch him as much as I do now, but hopefully he will warm up to his new wife and we will have the best years of our lives in the future. Yes, the other woman is still in the picture, but I have a more positive feeling she will not be interfering in our relationship anymore thanks to all your help, books and comments.
