How do you keep feeling sexy, attractive and "alive" when your husband works away for months on end?

[bluethimble]

I'm 49, married with a young daughter. I love both of them very much but have recently had a real internal crisis as I've realized that my life at the moment is not satisfying all my needs. Yep! another bloke showing quite some interest in me sparked this off. I absolutely do not want a physical relationship with anyone other than hubby but I do suddenly feel a bit lost and realize I need to generate more internal happiness for myself. Does this strike a chord with anyone? Any ideas ?

Oh I see Mumsy :)

Just off the phone with DP. Planning a nice reunion

Many thanks for the latest contributions.

LongLashes: hello again! Thanks.
Mumsyblouse: You're exactly right, this is a very recent "crisis". We've lived like this for 7 years and I've been fine, had occasional moments of panic like when DD was pretty poorly once, but generally all OK and happy. It was the OM that made me feel " visible" ( nice phrase) again and then made me feel so lost and disorientated. OM has faded but I still don't feel back to normal but am despirately trying to think of what I did pre marriage !

CurrySpice: thanks for your comments, it's just really nice hearing from others in a similar situation.
