but I'm still living a promiscuous and tawdry dream- life that, other than the "dad dreams", I secretly really enjoy and get stimulation from.
One mind tells me, this is fine, I'm not actually acting out any of my dreams and I love and respect my husband so it's all good...but my other mind wonders, am I an unconscious cheater? And I worry...what if my dreams, which already build and inform my fantasies, start leaking into my waking sexuality, and in a moment of depressive, self-loathing weakness, will my unconscious promiscuity reach out into my waking life?
Where is the line drawn?
If dreaming about the bouncer @ the local nightclub is okay, is "innocently" flirting with him okay?
I've been with my husband for 7 years...and I'm starting to understand what the "7 year itch" really feels like. I say now I would NEVER EVER cheat on my husband...but what is Cheating exactly?

The "secretly enjoy and get stimulation from" is kinda maybe getting close to the line, and flirting with someone you dream/fantasize about might be playing with matches, but no fire yet

Are you cheating? By
my standards/criteria you aren't, but my views aren't typical so that isn't exactly a gold stamp of approval.
If you say you will "NEVER EVER" cheat, that sounds reassuring enough.
