"I'm a 54-year-old female who has been married over 25 years. Our children are all in college but still live at home and will do for the foreseeable future. I am married to a good man, a great father but I am not in love with him. He isn't a bad man - in fact he has done everything to support our family."
"However I feel we have never connected on an emotional level or sexually. Yes we have the dutiful sex once a week but it's a chore. I find myself romanticising about a new life for myself."
