I *DO* love the ocean! There's something calming and very spiritual about it!
I don't know - IA, tell me something as you have been in this situation. Is it worth keeping the marriage going and finding something physical outside of my marriage!? It's driving me nuts having all this pent up frustration and no release. Especially seeing how much physical interaction is crucial to my well being and sanity!
I am about 2 steps away from signing up on a discreet encounters website! I CAN'T TAKE NOT HAVING INTIMACY ANYMORE!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I feel your pain bro, totally been there but whether to keep your marriage going, I can't answer that one.
I spent just over 2 years trying to make my marriage like it was and the whole time nothing physical at all - not a hug, I ended up so stressed I was in therapy and on Valium as I didn't want to be unfaithful. When she finally told me she was leaving and that it was over, for my own sanity, I ran out to a legal escort agency and hooked up with an expensive high class girl that I thought would give me some desperately needed physical time with no emotional attachment.
I'm no stud but, me being me, within minutes were connecting on an emotional level, sex became secondary and the intimacy was at a level I'd never experienced. In my naivety, I kept making more and longer bookings. The emotional bond just sky rocketed and on our last meeting we spent 24 hours together just loving and caressing - however there was still a business arrangement behind it even though she never wanted money for much of our extended time, yet at the end of that night, in my total fatigue and exhaustion I got the money wrong, she left in tears and I never heard from her again.
That was just not what I needed, so my advice to you is, a high class, clean working girl from a legal establishment is totally awesome but follow the rules, remember it's always business no matter what the feelings so make sure the money and time is organised up front, never make long bookings keep it to an hour or less so you can't develop feelings and don't see the same girl more than a couple of times unless you're really sure you're not becoming attached. Also be careful of private girls advertising on websites, many of them have profiles that have been enhanced, ie age isn't correct or old pic of themselves before they gained weight, also make sure they'll kiss, I'm sure you're like me and that's an intimacy must have. If you can meet them in advance like in an escort agency, I found that to be the best. Also check out their reviews from other punters if you can. On the up side it totally fixed my anxiety and gave me back my self confidence. It also removed that "needy" impression that I was putting out after my relationship bust, and if you're looking for another relationship, most women aren't attracted to someone that appears needy. So my Escort time sorted that out and I was able to move into a regular relationship again without being desperate which may well have caused me to hook up with someone similar.
My only advice is to speed up the resolution between you and your partner. I wish now that I'd been more upfront in explaining my needs, but at the time I was depressed and still didn't want to put pressure on her, turns out it was the worst thing I could have done. Hope some of that helps
