[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been married for 10 years, with my DH for 16 years, two elementary aged kids. I have growing feelings for a friend, more like a friend’s friend, and it’s all I can think about. The friend’s friend is single. In January when I had this realization I thought it was a silly crush after some group hangouts where we talked one on one a lot and really connected, but it’s been months and I think about him constantly. All I can think about is when I am able to see him again, what it would be like to be with him in a relationship, I imagine us having sex, I’ve envisioned him being a stepparent to my kids for gods sake.

I don’t know how to shake these feelings, it feels ridiculous but also, not? I think my feelings for DH were waning well before this and this person kind of snuck into my heart a bit. My logical side is trying to tell me that I’m seeking out an emotional connection where it is lacking with DH, but even after months quarantined with DH I feel more drawn to this person. I’ve not felt this way about anyone since dating my DH which seems absolutely ridiculous to say but that is how it feels.

Has anyone been in this situation before? Did you just...give it time and hope it goes away?[/quote]
