YouтАЩve been married for several years. Long enough, certainly, for the rosy glow of your first love to have faded, dulled by the routine and reality of everyday life тАУ including, in your particular case, his vitriolic ex-wife and two cute but time-intensive stepsons.
Then, one day, you meet him. The man of your dreams. (Or, at least, he will be from now on.) You werenтАЩt expecting it, but you look at him, he looks at you, and itтАЩs there: that spark of attraction, understanding, whatever you call it. (And certainly, you call it something different from your husband, when he finds out.)
The real question, though, is not so much what you call it but what you do about it . . .

It's a bulletin from the front lines: timely, true, and at its heart surprisingly tenderтАЩ Ann Packer
