My first marriage lasted 25 years for 15 of those years the sex just dwindled to nothing. She would blame me. She would say I should know how to approach her, or I didn't do this or that correctly.

In the end, she confessed she was no longer in love and had not been for a long time. She knew she could manipulate me. I loved her more than she loved me. The divorce was painful and as bad as the marriage was, I was willing to stick it out.

Now that it's over and I have remarried, I could not be happier, I feel blessed and in love with this incredible woman who appreciates all I do for her.
