[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for your perspective. If I may ask: was an unsatisfactory sex life with your DH a factor in the development of your crush/EA? If it was unsatisfactory, do you think that you would have fallen for the temptation, or that you would have had a harder time putting the crush behind, even with the distance?[/quote]

It was not. I am incredibly lucky in my marriage - we certainly have our issues like anyone but have a wonderful connection both physically and emotionally. He's supportive and understanding and I like to think I am the same.  After 26 years of marriage we have raised our kids well and together, have the same approach to our finances, and enjoy many of our hobbies and social activates together. I was not seeking and did not need anything more. This is why I think it took me/us so long to realize what was happening with my colleague, the connection was natural and instinctual, not stemming from a hole I was trying to fill.  I think it actually would have been easier to put it behind me if it was just about the sex or trying to fill a void.  The relationship felt like an enhancement to my life, not an actual need I was trying to remedy.

It sounds like you're in a tough spot, but you have the right instincts.  Ending 'it', whatever 'it' is for you, will not be easy, but once you do you'll feel better knowing you did the right thing, even while you're heart is breaking a little.       [/quote]
