I was extremely excited, full of lust, but most of all nervous. There were hormones and chemicals firing off all over my body. I hadn’t felt like this seen I was a teenager. As we walked from the restaurant back to my hotel, all sorts of thoughts ran through my head. ….I want her so badly…this is the real reason you are staying the night out of town….you are doing this to have some no strings attached intimacy…you are protecting your family by doing this….what would Erin think of this….god I really need this…wow, I haven’t been with another women for 20+ years.

As we neared the hotel, that last though lingered. It was an odd realization, I have only been with one women for well over 20 years. I don’t know what I’m doing. Erin and I had a great sex life. We knew how to please one another and we had sex regularly. Well, 1-2 times a week..I think of that as regular (even frequent) in your late thirties and early forties with kids. Now I was about to get it on with someone much younger and in the game.

First time posting here, so go easy one me. This might be a bit long winded, stick with me.

I was 42 years old and living a great life. Wonderful wife and three young kids I love dearly. A beautiful home (major city in Midwest) and a successful business career (VP of Finance for a publicly traded company). Life was rolling. Then the unthinkable happens, complete and utter tragedy hits. My wife is diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and an intense treatment ensues. It doesn’t matter, we lose her in less than a year. The trauma is extreme for me and my kids. I am initially in denial, but quickly move to extreme fear about raising these kids on my own. I am blessed to be surrounded by family members who step in the help manage all aspects of family life. Thank god for them. They made things as “normal” as could be. They took on so much, school and sports pickup schedules, meals, sleepovers with cousins, you name it. An amazing response and they probably saved my kids long term mental health.
