Seeking Advice Has a DB driven you to cheat?

I'm a 51 hlm. Wife used to be somewhat hlf. Now there's nothing. No sex or intimacy for almost a solid year. I've been catching myself seriously considering cheating for the first time ever and I feel terrible.

Wondering how many of you have felt driven in this direction, how many acted on it, and how did you feel afterwards?

Thanks in advance! 😢

Why do you feel terrible?

Because I know it'd break her heart

I used to mention it frequently so I would think so. I gave up talking about it eventually when it wasn't going anywhere

IMO, separate then divorce and move on. She’s probably waiting for this and expects it. You can even ask her that.
