No, I really don't. My husband is a fine man in many ways and supports us in the ways he can. But he's also limited (as we all are) and it's useless to expect what he's not really capable of giving. He has to accept the same of me. We can't be everything to each other, so we make the best of what we do have from each other.I do wonder sometimes if the therapy situation is some sort of emotional infidelity. Although it isn't that much different than the age old practice of having confidantes. I suppose the marital relationship has never been supposed to be the sole provider of one's intimacy needs.
