Question: 

My husband had an affair for 6 months. He says he never had any emotional connection with her or felt any form of love for her. They would talk and text most of the day and had sex maybe 3 times a week. I feel so hurt at the fact that o feel as if I wasn't good enough for him sexually. He says he wasn't attracted to her. Says it was just something that happened. He also said that sex with me was better than with her. She is physically not his taste only the fact that she's 17 years younger than him. I feel as if she was better than me sexually and as a person. He tells me that was not the case. I was pregnant at the time of the affair. Before my pregnancy we had a good sexual life we had sex every day or twice a day. I don't feel attracted to him anymore sexually. Everything reminds me of him and her being intimate. I feel as if I will never be able to gain my self-confidence or be intimate with him, due to the fact that I feel as i will be compared to her sexually. How can I get this feeling of comparison out of my head and regain my self-confidence??
