Hello strider,

It seems as if her reliance on you and your communication has brought you closer to this girl form work. Perhaps there is something missing in your relationship that you were getting from this girl at work. It may be beneficial for you to reevaluate your relationship since you have been with your wife for quite a while now. Did you stop communicating, telling each other you love each other, or doing new things?

Love is love, it is renewed everyday by choice. We have to make a conscious decision to be present in all of our relationships everyday. It’s great that you enjoy alone time, most people do. However, that does not mean you need to leave your marriage in order to be happy. Perhaps you two should do some activities together and do some things on your own?

Emotions are emotions, just because the title of the relationship changes doesn’t mean that your emotions do too. How well do you know this other girl? It could be possible that she just trusted you as a friend and found comfort from talking to you. Maybe you can look at your own emotions and figure out what’s happening in your relationship before considering this other girl. Sometimes we can look out to others as a distraction so we don’t have to deal with our own issues.
