Nearly 40 years old, married, with husband all together almost 16 years. Everything fine. Along comes a girlie hottie. I fall for her quick and now everything I ever have believed in perishes in a bonfire with rainbow smoke. And sparkles. Lots and lots of sparkles. What is wrong with me? midlife crisis? just bored with husband/married life? maybe I'm just bi and should enjoy this as a fun affair maybe I'm gay and need to blow up my current life maybe it's just HER, cuz she's so freaking appealing I'm sure you all know the drill, the song of the newbie. Well, there's mine. If i stay married but still feel like this in 10 years I will know I made a mistake staying married. But I can't predict the future like that so I'm just trying to get through this day by day. Kudos to everyone who is on here. It takes a lot to actually work up the courage to own yourself, even anonymously. If anyone has advice or stories that may help, would appreciate it. I'm just feeling grateful in general that this forum exists at all. I can't imagine the self-loathing and feelings of isolation before the internet existed.
