My wife is very frustrated that I will not initiate. I feel lost. I don't know how to have a normal sex life after 10+ years of acting out. Not looking to recreate the "high" from my affairs just looking to give her what she deserves. We are looking for a therapist to help us together but not having much luck. Thank you for all you do.Sections: Rick's Q & A timeRick's QuestionsRL_Category: Breaking Off The AffairFor the Unfaithful SpouseQ&A Recovery LibraryRecovery FundamentalsRL_Media Type: Video
