So far the replies have been great. Thanks. Even though my wife cheated on me over a year ago, I promised myself I would work hard to keep our marriage intact. And it seems to be working. She realizes the mistakes she made and even has said "I don't know why you stay with me" . We both discussed the fact that something could happen down the road to me. I actually think she she is ready for it. 26 years is a long time and I know there will be bumps in the road, but the fact that I was cheated on almost gives me the green light to do it back. Thankfully, I don't think that way and I would divorce or separate before I went into another relationship. It wouldn't be fair to my wife, my new partner OR ME. Its not about sex either, someone is actually paying attention to me in a way I haven't felt in a long while and I enjoy it. I think it may be a little more but it makes you sit back and take an inventory of you heart and soul. I'll have to ride this wave out to see where it goes. I don't feel anything less about my wife but I shouldn't be thinking about anyone else. Period. Better said than done though. Thanks again for the replies
