The thought of leaving my wife is painful to me, so I don't believe it is possible.

A lot of the things which used to give me happiness seem to pale and be unimportant in life, they've lost their treasured place by comparison.

At the same frustrating time, when I need to turn to my wife, she isn't the same person in a thousand various ways.

I am following the health team leader's advice and am seeking some innocent measure of companionship and friendship, not with any intention to replace my wife but just to find a way to fill the emptiness.

Thank you.
