Marla aka John's wife

I am the woman formerly known as John's wife. I have decided to take on an identity for myself. My name is Marla and I am 36 years old. We have 6 beautiful children. I had lap RNY 4/9/07. It has been such an amazing ride and I am truly happy that I took this chance and had this procedure. I would do it all over again. My husband has already decided to air our dirty laundry so most of you already know that we are having some difficulties in the boudoir. I sincerely do hope that we can make it through the difficulties. I feel fairly certain that we can work things out if he can just give me the space that I need to see things clearly. I want to thank everyone that was there in support of me, trying to make him see what is going on. Maybe if he opens his eyes he will understand. Once again thank you all and thank you for making me feel so welcomed.

Hi Marla. I'm glad you're posting. I feel for you girl. I tried to be nice to him in my post but honestly wanted to ream him. To be his age and have the attitudes about sex that he does...he needs to grow up. Marriage is about way more than sex.
Anyways...I'm glad you're here and I really hope that he backs off so you can work this out.
