You have 4 options A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 12/02/2013 06:03:43 AM
One, continue as you are, and likely eventually succumb to cheating. It'll be fun but you may suffer from guilt, and the situation will undoubtedly implode at some point.

Two, give up the flirting, be faithful purely to your wife.

Three, divorce your wife, because it's possible no matter how perfect you think the two of you are, marriage and monogamy simply aren't for you.

Four, talk this over with your wife, and enter an open relationship, pursue swinging, or something else along such lines. Or if she's completely opposed to it, you have the first three options--only with option one now being exponentially more difficult to carry out.

All of these have their upsides and their downsides, because you're in a shitty situation and therefore have shitty possibilities. My advice, if she's actually "the love of your life" then drop the flirting and keep it within socially acceptable bounds. If, however, on serious reflection you aren't certain that you are as deeply in love with your wife as you first thought, you will likely be better off independent of her. Nothing wrong with being single. It all just depends on what things matter to you most, and where you want to be in 5 or 10 years.

The telling you to grow up bit wasn't the advice TheCrownless - 12/02/2013 01:09:54 AM 967 Views
So there is no situation in which advice helps? Dark Knight - 12/02/2013 01:23:21 AM 1009 Views

You're assuming a moral absolute Dark Knight - 12/02/2013 02:06:13 AM 1173 Views
It is called forsaking all others, and yes there are absolutes. HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 05:58:20 PM 1071 Views
My opinion ... Nate - 12/02/2013 01:21:38 AM 999 Views
That's not really advice Dark Knight - 12/02/2013 01:28:42 AM 1010 Views

Get therapy or get a divorce. Your wife deserves better than the person you're being now. *NM* Ghavrel - 12/02/2013 04:00:38 AM 529 Views
Careful you don't fall off that high horse Dark Knight - 12/02/2013 04:53:11 AM 1048 Views

i was poly for a decade. maybe that's a thing to consider? opening your marriage for both of you? temeraire - 13/02/2013 05:12:06 AM 900 Views
If you don't have kids, then just leave the marriage or have an open relationship. *NM* Tom - 12/02/2013 05:19:27 AM 475 Views

Number one is not an option, it is a looming and growing disaster. Joel - 13/02/2013 02:57:19 PM 952 Views
So, you ask for advice, then get upset when you don't like it? MightyYT - 12/02/2013 06:04:07 AM 934 Views
I'm not sure there's enough context to offer much useful advice, but I'd line up incentives Isaac - 12/02/2013 08:29:41 AM 1029 Views
