My husband is a good man. We’ve been married 11 years and we have 2 beautiful children together. He provides a good home for us. But he isn’t there for me emotionally. He keeps to himself and doesn’t talk to me very much. I know he loves me, but I don’t think he’s in love with me, if you know what I mean. Recently I started taking a pottery class and the teacher is a wonderful French man who is so romantic and affectionate. When he talks about his home life, I can see the pain in his eyes, because his wife has gotten so cold over the years too. And when he helps me make something on the pottery wheel, he is so achingly gentle and kind. We have gone for coffee once after class and talked for hours about our lives. He is so interesting! I could talk to him for days on end. He’s so passionate. He is affectionate too, caring and soft spoken. He looks me in the eye and touches my hand. When his fingers touch my skin I feel electric! I don’t want to leave my husband, but I want to feel again, to feel loved and to love passionately. I ache and long for him between classes. I am a good wife. I don’t want to do anything rash, but I need to be loved and my husband just isn’t even trying.
