I'm the PP who said no and it was about missing the feelings. What's bolded is exactly what happened with me. I made my AP into everything I wanted/needed at that time. The things he said, he did, I manipulated them into what I wanted.

Nobody could. Are you still married? What I would love to know is where these people get the time and energy for this stuff and get away with it.
Obviously they find the time by stealing it from their spouse and kids, yet another reason affairs and the people that get involved in them are so despicable
Work travel. I'm out of town anyway. I can spend my evening watching bad movies alone in my hotel room, or I can spend them with an AP. Doesn't take time away from DH or my job, either way. And no, I don't arrange trips for this purpose, just take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

I see my AP getting older and I think he's just getting more handsome. I don't think age will kill the attraction. I'm pretty sure when he's old and frail I'll still want to jump his bones.

Hell yes. I want my cake. I want to have a happy easy married life with a slice of passion on the side that my marriage has never included. I want to have that "me" time that involves no children, no work, no husband, no chores. I want that sex that make me feel sexy, not used. I want that connection. I want that friendship. I want that anticipation and eagerness for sex.
Given the reality of life, I don't have that and won't have that.

The actual affair? Not so much. But the feeling of chasing and being chased, yes, absolutely.
This is why I think sometimes after they're caught the cheating spouse is suddenly once again wildly in love with the betrayed spouse and desperate to win them back. That push-pull dynamic is reintroduced to the marriage whereas before the affair it might have felt stale and boring.
This is what I don't get. I did not find myself wildly in love with betrayed spouse again after I was caught. Does that really happen? How many cheaters really get that HOLY SHIT, I love my spouse moment? Or is it that they just don't want to deal with the hassle & pain of divorce/loss of seeing children daily/stress on children?
Men love their spouse... women don't love anybody including themselves ... which is why they cheat... they are trying to "fill the abyss".
What? Women cheat to fill the abyss but men cheat --- because they really love their spouses? Seriously?
Yes. Read Frankl it will explain the need to find happiness "meaning in life" and how people fill the abyss with sex, drugs, alcohol, material things. Women just need that next man to "be happy" since they can't find it in themselves.
Men that cheat are just selfish pigs... they take the window seat, eat the big piece of chicken, throw their laundry on the floor, forget their wife's birthday... they love their wife but they just want what they want and don't care about how their wants (which they call "needs") hurt others.
"Ah-ha moment". Hits the nail on the head for me and my spouse (we both cheated at different stages in life, btw).

Don't miss him but hint of him everyday - usually with a lot of swear words following his name. Really hate the man. Just happy knowing in time he will get his due. Never trust a liar. Lesson #1.

Both miss each other very much. Hoping that one day we can make it permanent.

Yes, meaning in life is a factor but to suggest all women and men are wired by deterministic sexual biology and social constraints is absurd.
Life would be quite boring.
Everybody want to believe they are different.
It's demoralizing to realize you are a cliche, that a trained psychologist could have predicted your future infidelity with a <30 minute interview.
But ... Sadly ... Men/women follow a pattern ... You are not as complex as you wish you were.
Stop trying to be so complex, something you are not. Just go to therapy and find out why you keep trying to be complex/different, accept yourself for who you are.
