Re: After 17 years is it wrong to just want out?
I agree with everyone who has said you need to be open with your husband. Really think about what you think is out there and then really think about whether or not you can find those same things in a marriage. I am like qq49h. My wife feels tempted by things outside of our marriage and never once talked about her feelings. She bottled them up for so long that she decided that it couldn't work out. We are only on day 3 past the day she told me she was seeing another guy, so I really don't know yet if we will make it, but she at least understands that if she doesn't give our marriage an honest shot to work, that she will never be able to live with herself, regardless of all the fun she might have. My job is to forgive her and then show her how fun our marriage can be again and that she can be her own person and a dedicated spouse at the same time.
Good luck to you. It will be much harder to make things better than to run away, but in the end, you will hopefully find a truer and deeper happiness.
