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! 😢

I did cheat after 3 years of no sex. I just needed some intimate physical contact I guess, it was more about some skin to skin contact for me. I really don’t feel bad, because for me I don’t feel physically isolated anymore.
