Reply To: Advice on relationship maintenance wanted

I’m not a one night stand girl either like your wife and have much preferred to have steady lovers over a period of time where a mutual trust and understanding can be built up.
Inevitably if there are more than a couple of meets then some sort of emotional connection will be made. I’ve never been able to completely ‘divorce’ myself from some sort of attachment with the bulls that I’ve had over the years (and that’s not many).
I’ve had to accept that when one of there ‘attachments’ ends then there is bound to be some sadness and I’m a little down for a while. My husband is my pillar however, he patiently waits for me to come back to life, supports me and doesn’t push even though I know it effects him too.
I do feel fulfilled emotionally by my husband, it just takes a little time to realise it again sometimes.
As to managing her expectations, for me that came with experience I’m afraid.
