The passion you were missing in those 25 years was LOVE from him, caring, a personal kind of caring. He was kind but that wasn’t love. You need a personal kind of … kindness, kindness delivered with emotion, with ENERGY-IN-MOTION. With your husband there was STATIC kindness, in place, not moving kindness. The hug with Andrew, that rush was that MOTION you needed all along.

Honestly, I have no sympathy for women like Tiffany Lucia, intuitivemind. Why? Because they settle. They settle in a nice comfortable life knowing that the person they are with doesn’t make their hearts pound but instead validates them and just makes them not feel alone. They know if they’re with a man who cares for them and understands them than they are probably doing the right thing by just staying and absorbing it. A few years into it they start wondering why they don’t feel they way they should for the guy they are with. Then it turns into a depression, especially if already married. Eventually, they make their life miserable and waste a good man’s life. I cannot imagine that intuitivemind’s husband didn’t know it in his gut that his wife wasn’t happy with him. This is why he let her go, not because he didn’t love her.

Good luck to you ladies. I have no advice for you but to stop wasting your good man’s time and do what you feel is right.
