Like CSS, I had a feeling you would eventually contact the OM again and as long as he is in your head and heart there is no room for your husband.

I read a blog recently that talked about how many women have difficulty with the men in their lives. They want the security and affection that is show by the more "beta" type male but they feel very little attraction to them. They are attracted to the more "alpha" male who really doesn't need them and sometimes treats them badly but it just makes the infatuation grow even more.

Please read this article and especially note the comments from Annie James. Does this describe your dilemma at all?
