Go on business trips. I meet lots of new people in the course of those, and we just talk and then go on our ways. It's enough social time for me (I work from home and DW is an introvert).

This is just another reason to not get married in my opinion.

As for those who marriage is a fabulous thing, re-read this thread.

What you need is a good old fashioned crisis to bring you back to reality and closer to your spouse. How about a death in the family? I find that one works pretty well.

GROW the Fig up, Lady.

I felt this way when I was married. I would think to myself, "50 more years of this?" I would just think about meeting new people or think about flirting and I missed feeling desired and attractive. I saw that as a red flag. I did not and would not cheat so I didn't want it to even get to that point, or even close. So we had "the talk," decided to divorce (no kids, so admittedly it wasn't messy), and we are both much happier. I've been with my current partner almost as long as I was with my XH and I am a million times happier. I don't feel like I am missing any pieces of life anymore.

If it were not for my son I would have an affair. I think about it a lot. If I could only find away to do it. It is depressing.

I can relate. I see hot men all the time. My husband is so boring.

I'm married, 38 years old, and I miss connecting with someone. DH and I have become more like siblings than husband and wife. I find myself fantasizing about meeting someone in a coffee shop. But not for sex. Just to talk with. Feel a spark, a connection. How do I get over this?
