What comes to mind is, A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
Even the original lust of attraction fades in a marriage, the most important thing is the overall relationship and respect, that is what is lasting more than anything.
Sure this other man was attracted to you liked the attention as well. Maybe his wife is not filling that old fire of the initial attention. However, you also have to consider buyers remose. The same can happen with a desire for anything new and flashy that has a certain kind of presentation to it.
I think about having a horse that I know is safe, dependable and I CAN enjoy and trust. Ofcourse I will always have an attraction to the fancy horse that is showy and enticing. However, what my experience has taught me, the showy horse had flaws I had not seen, wasn't so safe and trusty, even presented some behavior problems that took the rider more time to handle, less time to enjoy the ride. After all was said and done, I was glad to see the pretty horse, but also glad I didn't own it.
