    She is SO right when she observes that the notion there is something wrong with your relationship if somebody strays contains no nuance and a shallow understanding of the dynamics people are dealing with in a marriage. This woman is truly brilliant and has the most complete, most compassionate answers I've ever heard afloat in our society when it comes to this topic.

    Amazing ideas… you might have struck gold as to figuring out finally how we all make things work as men and women. While it starts in the realm of relationship, it is so applicable to almost every aspect of life. I’m speechless.

    With my partner for 14 years here!! We still flirt and play around like we did in our 20s when we started dating. In fact, I think our bond and connection is more magical than it was back then because now we have this level of comfort with one another so we don’t hold back. Every session of intimacy is like the very first time except better!! It’s amazing 🤩!! However I will say that I do have to pursue and work my magic to get him worked up to the point of being ready to GO!! Haha he’s a very active and motivated person so he is go go go all day. He is usually tired by our bed time which people have come to think that is the time for sex but why?!! When we were younger and before kids of course, we didn’t care where or what time haha sooo we have held on to that mentality. We both work from home now which makes it easier but still even before that we seized whatever opportunity presented itself. Thinking outside the box has saved our relationship and kept it alive!! And I also like to joke that leaving marriage out of the equation has a lot to do with it too 😝

      There is a little bit of familiarity breeds contempt in some situations. Sincerity lacks when infatuation is mistaken for love and people get lost in it all in the beginning. One should never make important decisions when the mind is in turmoil. Your have to keep putting wood on the fire if you want it to keep burning and the right wood if you want heat. We are a flawed species and relationships are complicated. This lady knows her game and people who have listened to her surely must benefit.

      @@nathalie5238 That's infatuation not real love it the first place in my opinion..when you are young, you vare oblivious to the real meaning of life time commitment and if there is insincerity on the part of either party, then it is inevitable that the wheels will fall of the cart.The human psyche is so complex, and with materialistic values now overriding moral values, it has become increasingly difficult for relationships to survive. I live alone away from people but have had a great deal to do with them for 50 years. I did not sit on the verandah and watch the crs go by . I knocked around the pubs and pool tables, I learned so much about men and saw infidelity by close acquaintances that made me squirm.I quickly learned that most men (not all ) have got a hole in the end of their dick to get air to their brain.
      .I never looked sideways at another woman, yet my wife of 27 years became unfaithful in a wewk moment I believe. So obviously after all those years, I was not doing something right. 25 years on I realize that we change, and as Ester says there is a need to reinvent ourselves .I am young at heart, very healty with an extremely active and creative mind, but I could not be bothered looking for someone, because I know how difficult it is to find someone who is sincere as well as each meet the other person's needs . good luck and thank you for taking the time to respond to my comments.

    And a nacississt will never be remorseful or communicated the desire to look for another After 45yrs of marriage. Nothing changed in the marriage other than I could no longer commit to the sexual side of my marriage. Due to his financial control on me and all that went with this control.
    Divorce was the end of my marriage and the only option for me.
    Learning to love myself again over this past year has been my reward. Not that it's been easy it's been hard and especially for my married adult children and grandchild. He has lost it all.

My special gal is in Dubai is the most wonderful source of joy to me. She visits w my wife too. She Is going to give up her life to come live w us to assist me as soon as visas open up. I fully expect criticism. We will give up church and or friends if need be. If you want to interview us for ur show possible. Your the best esther.

It cracks me up to death to imagine when you have fight w ur husband he throws your expertise in your face.

    I do think it's quite unreasonable for couples to expect to be together forever. In truth, people get exhausted of each other. Life is also lived in phases as people constantly change, grow, and evolve.
    Thus, people should enjoy each other as long as it last. Then once, they can't tolerate each other, they can say goodbye amicably.
    It's much better and reasonable than people struggling to stay together; till death do them part.

    I"m 15 minutes in, and It seems to me that she does a great job of offering a woman's perspective. I experience women pretty much exactly the way she describes sex in general, but I don't experience MYSELF that way. It feels like most of these rituals are for her and not him. Of course I'm not in one of those relationships where the man doesn't want sex.

      No longer attracted. Bored. No longer a mystery.

      Lack of communication. No longer bonding. No longer doing things together.
