I am a man in his mid 30's who recently saw a pic and a few posts from one of my wife's facebook friends. I have never met this person, spoken to them, or heard of them before - just saw their pic (not even their full profile) and a few posts from Facebook. But I feel like I am in love with this person. Sometimes I notice if I respond to one of my wife's Facebook posts, she will post a funny or cute response after mine, and I feel like she's doing it on purpose to send me a message. Some of these messages have referred to me in a positive manner directly. This woman and I are not facebook friends, she's just friends with my wife. I don't even know how my wife knows her in RL. I am pretty sure this other woman is married too because I saw a pic of her with a ring on.
Please tell me I am crazy and to stop obsessing over this. I have thought about this woman many times over the past few days and I haven't felt this "in love" feeling I have toward her for about 12 years back when I was single and just dating people. I rarely have such strong feelings about ANYTHING, but I have such a strong urge to reach out to this person and contact them just to say hello or start a conversation going - the problem of course is it's my wife's friend, and she would probably find out!
Any help or advice on what I should do is appreciated. it has gotten to the point that tonight I saw a facebook e-mail update from this woman and my heart practically jumped, just knowing she was online at the same time as me and responding to my post on my wife's page.
Please help me. It doesn't make things better that my wife and I have not been getting along well lately.
