I am married woman been that way for quite a few years. I have a decent relationship and I honestly can say I love my husband. Got married far to young though and I know it, we have children now. Getting to my point, I have met a man who completly takes my breath away. We spend a moderate amount of time together. Dont know and/or dont believe he feels the same, kind of a strange friendship so I am just not sure. How wrong am I? I constantly fantasize about him, I think about him all day. Cant seem to get him out of my mind. I feel sort of guilty for feeling like this at all, but in my fantasies the other man and I would get together. I wasnt looking for this, nor have I ever cheated or ever felt like this for any other man. I dont even know if I have ever been this sexually attracted to my husband. I question myself even telling this other man, to keep the complications of it out of our friendship, i try constantly to shake it off, thinking if I will just stop it then I will go back to normal. I know he(the other man) has to know how I feel, I constantly flirt. My friends question it, and I blow it off as nothing being he is quite a few years older then me. I think my friends believe me. and most of all I have no idea what my husband thinks, I know he knows I care a lot about this man, he knows we are friends. You can just say I am confused! HELP ME!
"You can't fix a marriage going outside this marriage"
Maybe this chemical attraction for this man makes you to think what you think? And if you go with this man and in the end hormones go down you will think same about him ?
It is your call but you must to think with your head now .Cut the ties as much as you can .And try to read carefully al the advice here not only those you need to heard Right now !Remember that cheaters always are selfish: what I need , what I want , never what my spouse need, what my children's need .
Let's hope that we will not find you here couple of years later with a lot of pain .
I know my husband loves me, I do. I guess he just doesnt love me the way I need, I am not 17 anymore and he incapable of loving me the way I want. This has been an issue long before I met this other man. I have communicated on numerous occasions to my husband what I need from him. He barely pays any attention to me, its like we are best friends. I couldnt imagine living without him though, we have been together so long I am not quite sure where I end and he begins. I just dont know much of anything anymore!
Your obsession with this other man is not really the problem. It's a symptom of the problem, which is the lack of intimacy with your husband. You are emotionally starved, and you need nourishment. Leave the other guy out of it, and do whatever it takes to make your husband understand that things are rapidly approaching a crisis point and something needs to be done NOW. Your husband may or may not be capable of loving you the way you want. He needs to be confronted with the choice and given the chance to change the habits he has developed for relating to you. Don't take "whatever" for an answer. You also need to change your habits of relating to him. It may take counselling, it may take time alone without kids or other family around, it may take prayer, it may take a screaming fight, it may take uncontrollable sobbing, it may take a trial separation, it may take all of the above, but whatever it takes, git 'r dun, girl, because if you continue on the path you're on, the crap will hit the fan and nobody will come out unscathed.
MJ,
It is perfectly normal to fantasize. As long as you keep your fantasizing in perspective. If you don't want to hurt your family. Keep it at bay. But if its something that you can't keep at bay, maybe if this guy is your friend, you may want to tell him about it and see what he has to say about your feelings. It may jeopardize your relationship, or it may prosper into something else? You can control your emotions to a point. But remember you are treading on dangerous ground with having such intense feelings for someone other than your husband. Maybe your marriage needs refreshing? Marriage has its ups and downs. NO ONE has a perfect marriage! And if they tell you they do, they're in denial. Everyone of us needs to work on it, everyday. The question is how much do you love your husband? Are you willing to jeopardize your marriage for a possible passionate moment with someone else? Alot of women cheat. So do alot of men. Probably most of these individuals that answered you harshly, did. So don't let them fool you for one minute! Just do some soul searching about the issue. And you will get your answer.
"Sometimes Dude, you have to shake her all night long! A walk in the park, holding hands. Lunch by the lake. Buying her sexy underpants, even. It will show you that you care about her. By the way, most Pretty girls don't like the chase. Most of us know our power. And if its too difficult to achieve what we desire in a relationship, it is very easily replaced. Because all we have to do is say the word, "Next".

Saintas disagrees: next woman please
Dear JRUSSOLE , I remember below what you wrote in an previous post and i tell you now what I have put the disagree quotation in your post . You have very good answers till now, but at one point in those answers you deviate little in extreme : remember that the power to say next belongs to the both sexes , if you don't believe me read a lot of what woman has to said in lot of those threads here. You seem to believe too much in womans power . We all we have power , power to do good or power to do others to suffer . Depends on us what we made with this power . Personal I have come here to try to make other people to do good things or to pas the pain easily . This is why I can not giving advices to others to do or think bad or in wrong ways . And personally I have never cheat on somebody .
Yes , a lot of people cheat during this days ... And so what ? This kind of thinks make our world a better place? I believe NO .
The power to do good or bad is in this woman hands . We Must to indicate what we think is a good and Right directon for her and Her familly .We have this obligation.
The power to Act belongs only to her.
A lot of women CONFUSE attraction, lust, smitten - with some they should actually follow up on. Sure it's fun initially....but your asking for heaps of trouble. AND - in a marriage it usually means something else is wrong - meaning probbaly lost connection with your husband.
You need to sit down with hubby and figure whats wrong.
Do you want t ogo through divorce, cheat etc ?
You need to stay away fro mthis guy for a while - it WILL definitely pass.
Garass is always greener - until you get to the other side.

Saintas, I am really beginning to think your just a big know it all! That post about shaking her all night long was from a 20 year old kid! Big difference than an almost 15 year marriage. And one had to do with a young man who has a problem showing his affections and the other an older woman wanting to get some affection. So do your homework before you open your mouth, otherwise your behavior is nothing but an illusion in your own mind. And don't lecture me, because your advice falls on deaf ears! I don't need a mother! I already have had two of those!
Probably most of these individuals that answered you harshly, did. ^quote.
I said this because it is always easy for people to knock other people down when they are in an emotional dilemma that they are asking help for or with. And those who call names and or burden someone who already is fragile should be ashamed of themselves. I previously saw one comment calling her a slut. Which probably didn't help her one bit. She isn't a slut. Just a normal human being with feelings for someone other than her spouse. She needed support, not to be called names. That person should be ashamed of themselves. And I am glad someone deleted it.

It wasn't about shakin all night it was about power to say next .
And it is about the woman confused wich instead to try to solve the marriage probleme Inside this marriage is looking for this affection outside the marriage , putting in danger his familly.
And I don't think at all I know everithing , only what I have learned in my 37 years of life .
Third : I lecture what I whant , when I whant , from where I whant , what is your problem , You are rude , insensitive and anger .Why ?
And the world don't goes around You.
If you don't like what I say , simply, don't listen .
