How can one overcome attachment to a former lover, and how can a husband reciprocate the same feelings after six years of marriage?
A woman's heart becoming attached to someone other than her husband is dangerous and can be an opening for corruption, so you must beware of the whisperings of Satan. You must fight off evil thoughts. There is no sin if you do not reciprocate feelings of love for your husband, as long as you fulfill his rights, for love is a matter of the heart. We advise you to be patient and maintain a good relationship with your husband, and to work on the continuation of the marriage, especially if you have children together, as they are a great benefit that prevents thoughts of separation, so that you do not fall into temptation if you do not marry another.
