I am a 23 year old female and I have been married for 8 months. My husband and I have been together since I was 18 years old. I was head over heels in love with my husband up until about 7 months before we got married. I am a christian and my husband isn't.
I met a great christian guy who started attending the church I go to. He is divorced and has a daughter. There was a slight attraction, but I stayed faithful to my, then fiance. He warned me about getting married to someone who didn't share the same dreams and goals as me, at least spiritually.
Six months into my marriage, I caught my husband with another woman during a short period of separation. Seeing him with someone else completely tore me apart. It has been extremely difficult to forgive him. Needless to say, I no longer desire him sexually and have an image of him in my mind that he is a loser and will never do anything with his life.
My christian friend and I often communicate through email and at church. We've become very close, although I have never been unfaithful to my husband. I feel like I made a mistake in getting married and now like I'm in love with my friend. We've never actually talked about our feelings, but I notice little things he does to make me happy and try to get my attention.
My attraction to him is killing marriage and my spiritual connection with God. I can't stop thinking about him and find any little reason to email him or call him. What should I do? Should I try to make my marriage work, although I'm miserable? Should I tell my husband about my feelings? Should I tell my friend how I feel? Please help me.
