"I have been with my husband for around 30 years and have incredible kids of varying ages. There is an age gap of approximately 10 years and I was relatively young when we met with limited sexual experience. To fast-forward some years, both of us had affairs. I cannot pass comment on his reasons as they are his to hold. I believe mine were a lack of real-world experience, a lack of intimacy in our marriage, kids etc."
"I did fall in love with the other man. We had an incredible sex life. I know he's my soulmate, and I have probably never recovered, even though I've done a fair bit of therapy on this. He has recently got back in touch, and while he's now married, he wants us to rekindle what we were. This has brought up so many feelings of jealousy, longing and hurt all over again."
A woman has been married for around thirty years and shares children of varying ages with her husband. There is an approximate ten-year age gap and she had limited sexual experience when they met. Both spouses later had affairs, and she attributes her affair to lack of experience, insufficient intimacy, and parenting pressures. She fell in love with the other man and experienced a powerful sexual and emotional connection. That man has reestablished contact while now married and seeks to rekindle their relationship, which has reignited jealousy, longing, and hurt. The woman describes her husband as a fantastic partner whom she loves but for whom she does not feel romantic love. The marriage is financially secure and the children are happy.
