I've always found other women attractive but never actually been attracted to any of them and now that I'm married I found a women who I am attracted to...more than I'm attracted to my own husband... we both want to be together but I can't just walk out on my husband and his kid.  The worst part is he doesn't know how I feel about other women, only a few close friends know, so I can't talk to him about it, I've tried hinting to him but he's not catching on (he thinks I'm joking) and he's not like most men, he doesn't see it as a turn on all he see's is more competition. So now I don't know what to do, I can't just ignore my feelings and at the same time I can't walk out on my responsibilities.

Do the feelings of wanting to be with another woman make you want to leave your husband? It sounds like you haven't breached the subject with him, so why are you talking about walking away from your marriage?

I only ask because I am confused. If you love him, then in my opinion, you owe him the right to know how you feel and discuss it with him.

I've thought about leaving him before meeting this other woman, it's just not working and now looking back on things I realize I got married too young and for all the wrong reasons.  I've tried talking to him about my feelings for other women but he doesn't want to hear it.

I would try and tell him the truth - talk until you're blue in the face if thats what it takes for him to get that you are serious.

It's really hard, contemplating changing your life, but I believe that you shouldn't stay married if it isn't right for you. Obviously put a lot of thought into it, but I believe it is ok to change your mind.

I also don't think marriage is a realistic thing. I too married young, and if I was able to do it all over again I wouldn't. Not because I don't like my husband at all, just because I don't think it is realistic or necessary.

Good luck to you. Start with the truth. It's not always the easiest, but it is the best!

Sounds to me like you are at an impass. You have a husband, who doesn't want to talk about or hear about your feelings. You feel like you married young, and at the same time, feel as though you have an obligation and a commitment to your husband and his son as well.

It isn't an easy decision, but you have to do what you feel is right for you. It may seem selfish at the time, but sometimes you need to take care of you.
