Please don't b ashamed to share ur experience as this is a common occurrence in our modern society and happens everyday, every waking moment... even as we speak it's happening to someone.
It's quite obvious to me that u are truly in love with this man who has provided u with something that was lacking in ur marraige. It also happened to me.... it happens to everybody... common everyday people as well as celebrity figures. All u have to do is listen to the news, or read a magazine... it happens to rich folks, poor folks, politicians, (look at former President Bill Clinton), and the list goes on.
When there is something lacking in a marraige it deprives us from the happiness and bliss we are led to believe should be a part of it. However, in most cases we become disillusioned and our human nature leads us to territory we should not travel too. In short we are looking for love and happiness no matter where it leads, or who we meet. Everyone desires to be happy and will do, say, anything to get there. Life is short and even though we make the wrong choices, and know the consequences, we still, as human beings pursue the desire for love and happiness no matter what the costs. It's strong, powerful, and overwhelming!!!
If u can save your marraige than give it a try if u think there is still a chance. If not then u should consider your options... whatever they may be...
I sincerely hope u the best and if u want to continue this conversation maybe we can become friends through this network and offer each other help.

Last I checked you are supposed to talk to your spouse about what is lacking in your relationship so both of you can work on it. I believe you can go with Dan if you want but your inability to communicate will eventually lead you to the same scenario. The grass is always greener on the other side. It sounds like you lacked needed attention, especially with your work schedules, and you let Dan fill that void. Now you have placed greater importance on his ability to make you feel wanted then the importance of remembering the love that led you to marry your husband. It was easier to hide from your husband and engage with Dan, then it would have been to just be honest with your husband. Now, you have most likely ruined your marriage. I think you will repeat this behavior if you do not seek help in learning why you are like this to begin with. It sounds like your husband is a good guy and if he had been given the opportunity to meet your needs he would have done so. You never game him that chance.
