You’re not a bad wife for catching feelings. You’re human, and you’ve been around someone who clicks with you in ways your husband doesn’t. That mix of familiarity, chemistry, and “what if” can get under your skin before you even notice it happening.
But here’s the truth you already know deep down: acting on those feelings would blow your whole life apart. And the reason it feels so strong is because you haven’t let yourself actually name what’s missing in your marriage. It’s easier to focus on the friend because he represents something you’re craving not necessarily someone you’re meant to be with.
If you want to protect your marriage, you need space from the friend, even if it feels dramatic. And you need to look at your husband with honest eyes. What’s missing? What’s quiet between you two? That’s where the real work is.
You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. You’re just at a crossroads where doing the right thing might feel nothing like the easy thing.
