The emotions feel sexually driven, although I've seen her for 5 months and these feelings are just now arising. I am considering all of your input and the love aspect makes perfect sense. However, I have fantasized about leaving my husband and taking the kids and her leaving hers, etc. But, it is just a fantasy. How horrible of me to fantasize about leaving my husband who I love and want nothing more than to spend my life with! It is a crazy idea. Like I said, I fear if I am hypomanic and this escalates I will say something to her or even to my husband and screw it up with either of them. My hubs won't leave unless I act, which I can't imagine I ever would, but I've never had such strong feelings in the 8 years we've been married. I have, when manic, joked (although half way serious at the time) that I wanted to leave him for a woman. He was shell-shocked to hear that from me, his normally conservative wife. Maybe she is just the perfect person for me to project these feelings onto and that is all that is happening. I just feel so attracted to her in so many ways.
