He has spoken to her and she does not want to talk about it, she is not having an affair (as far as we know)
So what is he supposed to do if it is simple???
He has approached me for advise in the past as we have known each other for over 20 years and talk about everything.
Why does he not deseve to be happy??
I mean it takes two people to fuck, if she wants no part of it than he is on his own
He is stuck in a relationship, he doe have two children, he does love his family, he does have a mortgage, etc etc, so it's not just a matter of leaving.
And yes they had made a decision to be in monagamous some 12 years ago, when they were having sex with each other.
I think some people saying it's simple are probably living at home with mum and dad, or are living on their own having a girl friend that they been seening for a few months, and they have not been married for 10 of 15 years, and have not been in a situation where they have been trapped without getting any for years at a time, there are many guys out ther living this every day.
I have been with my wife for close to 20 years now, and things are still good, but others are not so lucky, and I see it around me all the time.
