Dear Deanna!
My wife and I have been married for
11 years. She wouldn’t wear linge
rie and the lights had to be off when
being intimate. I expressed my con
cerns on these matters. Later in the
marriage she quit work because I
was taking good care of the house
hold. There was still no intimacy, so
I had an affair with a female friend.
I told my wife about this but then I
saw her ear at a man’s house. She
denied being there at first but later
she said they only sat and talked on
the sofa. Am I a fool or what? —

I would like your opinion on a mar
