[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Met someone last year through work, and fell for him gradually over the past few months as we realized how much we share in terms of interest, sense of humor, values, etc.  He's super tall but not that good looking, so it's not physical infatuation for me (i.e. it's worse). We are both happily married. Last week, we went out for a dinner that was meant to be work-related, but we each had a couple of drinks, shared a dessert, laughed, talked about our lives, and accidentally touched hands at one point. Nothing more happened. Except that now I can't stop thinking about it, haven't eaten much in a week, and and am both hoping he never contacts me again and checking my phone for email and messages.

I have a great husband whom I love very much. I have never cheated on anyone and I've dated a lot and had my fair share of serious relationships before settling down. I've been tempted before and didn't have much trouble resisting. I think there is always a choice and a decision has to be made to cheat, but I'm finding it very hard to think rationally right now. I thought I would never be in a situation where I couldn't stop thinking about someone, especially while in a fulfilling marriage. This feels like some sort of [b]drug[/b] that I can't come down from.  Please help me regain rational thought.  :shock: [/quote]Your hormones will calm soon.  Just enjoy the fantasy and don't beat yourself up (e.g.,  Do NOT tell yourself "Bob is an inescapable drug!  Bob is off limits", etc.). Just think to yourself "Johnny (DH) is my sexy husband, and I'm primed and ready to go."  Good luck.[/quote]
