It messes with my mind that I am terribly lonely with my husband by my side. Luckily we have a dog that I speak to all the time. If I speak to my husband and he doesn't answer, I turn to our dog for conversation and much-needed pets.
Some folks on this forum talk about seeking others to be with for physical touch, etc. I just can't imagine doing that while still married, but I totally understand the temptation for deeper connection.
Hugs all around folks. 🫂
