I am in desperate need of help, I am 40 happily married and a lovely family but recently on a long haul work related trip I badly rather we badly fell for each other that is me and my friend/colleague since the past 20 years. He has always been been my close friend, very trusted and we would share our worries and actually grew our families on each others experiences. But this new feeling is devastating, I know I am deadly in love with him and he too is. The attraction is so obvious that we would be lying if we deny it. I do not want to leave my family neither does he, but we love each other as well. It was a damned moment when we argued on something simple and he apologised and we felt how anything we do and say reaches our hearts. Later on we even talked about it, held each other and realised there is no future, and we do not want our families to hurt, but we do not know what to do.

I noticed you wrote "happily married and a lovely family".You made a lifelong promise to your husband to be faithful to him forever. You owe it to yourself and your family to make this marriage work especially if theres children involved,id advise you too see a licensed marriage therapist.Your both married and both have families there just isnt a future between both of you.Id consider changing jobs or moving to another office,and deffinately no contact between you and "the other man" so to speak.Your main focus is your marriage right now.
