Sex File: His cheating has put me off sex 

My husband recently confessed to a brief fling 17 years ago, in a rocky patch before we were engaged, let alone married. He has apologised - but my libido has completely tanked.

My husband recently confessed to a brief fling 17 years ago, in a rocky patch before we were engaged, let alone married. He has apologised and I didn't think I held it against him - but my libido has completely tanked.

In most situations, honesty is the best policy, but in this particular scenario telling the truth was tantamount to lobbing a hand grenade into a 17-year marriage.
