I Am on The Verge of Cheating on My Wife

I Am on The Verge of Cheating on My Wife

I have been married 5 years now. I will first start out by saying how much I love my wife.

I feel very terrible that I am even having thoughts such as this. So how did I get to this place in our marriage.

Over the last few years the sex as decreased more and more as time passed. I am not an overly sex crazed man, but I do enjoy it.

When it began to decrease I patiently waited in hopes that in time it would get back to how it use to be. Well it didn't and in fact it only got worse.

Because it concerned me, I would strategically pick and choose what I thought were "good times" to mention it to my wife. She would always dismiss my comments by answering in a positive manner but very short, but then quickly getting off the subject by saying something like she is tired or something of that fashion.

It has now gotten to this point in which I am now starting to have thoughts of being with someone else. Because I have now become distant from my wife, I have opened the door to this woman that I know is attracted to me and I am very much attracted to her.

I am on the verge of cheating on my wife with this woman. I can not imagine spending the rest of my life in a marriage in which I almost feel as if I have to beg for some affection.

I feel that I am "screaming out to my wife" but for some reason she is not hearing me. I do not think she is with anyone else because I can always reach her and she does nothing to raise my suspicions, but the thought does cross my mind.

I recently had a dream in which I had an intervention with my wife. I brought her out to the living room where my mom, her mom and some guy I didn't was on the coach. I told her that if she didn't start having sex with me, she would lose me. Her mom and mom were behind me and agreed. The dream was much longer than but you get the drift.

That dream is telling me that I am now looking at this situation as if she is an addict ready to lose me.

I am not one to just walk away, but the urges are there and I am on the verge of cheating on my wife if things don't change.

I have deliberately refrained from getting anywhere close to emotionally attached to this woman because I know the detriments and potential consequences if I do.

I am asking for advice from anyone that may have something good to offer.
