Sexually attracted to others - Break Marriage?

I'm stuck in a huge dilemma. I'm in this perfect marriage with a good looking, kind, caring, loyal guy and we have a 1-yr old baby. BUT I feel I'm married to my best friend and I'm not sexually attracted to him. While I find others that I'm EXTREMELY attracted to sexually.

I can never cheat on him, cause he deserves better than that, but there've been occasions where I've been very close to cheating and had to stop myself.

Surely this isn't right and a clear sign I should be getting out?

But on the other hand, when we have sex, I do have orgasms and enjoy it. The problem is I never feel the excitement of wanting him, while I feel this for others.

I'm doubting whether this is a problem with me rather than the relationship,and if I broke this up and started another relationship with someone I found sexually exciting, whether in time the sexual attraction may go away and I'll be back in square one?

I'm in such a comfortable place now, living with my 'best friend' and baby it seems a shame to throw it all away. But then you do live once, and should I really be going through life thinking I didn't live it fully?

Please help!

Get some marriage counseling. ASAP.
Marriage is a deep, bonding thing between two people. It really isn't something that should be thrown away without a good fight.
You've said that overall the marriage is good, it's just sex and sexual attraction that is lacking (along with other small differences you have as people).
I think you owe it to your husband and your child to at least get marriage counseling and try to ignite a spark in your marriage. You also owe it to yourself.
I hope you seek out professionals who can help you and your husband give your marriage a fighting chance.

The National Health Service in the UK offers a range of options that make counselling available - dependent on your income.

There is also a service called MIND in the UK that offers local services and referrals. If you are really serious about getting assistance, then get on the internet and look them up.

A range of free phone services are also available that will provide you with a referral and advice about where you can get help.
