Interesting thread. Profound observations. I know when I'm depressed I am extremely vulnerable to being seduced. Never so close to being unfaithful. Need so much love. Even the most dedicated loving efforts of my wife don't seem enough. Bless her kind heart though. Proudly I never was unfaithful. What is this need for love? Survival instinct? The need to feel pleasure? The need to feel wanted? Worthy? Connection? Understanding? I can see why so many marriages with a depressed spouse end in divorce. The depressed person's needs change so drastically, and the undrepressed person cannot understand and doesn't know how to adjust. No amount of adjustment seems to be enough anyway. Making love is the only escape, the only way to feel like all is OK, but when it's over, it's back to the dungeon again. This thread doesn't sound crazy at all to me, and I hope you don't mind me stepping into your discussion. Happens with guys too. Wishing you a day with a smile. JohnL.
