Not uncommon, what so ever. It does bring to light a crossroads.
Tough place to be in, for sure.

Yup, tell me about it. It's a struggle between:
A - I don't know much about this newer person but know if we hit it off that it would make me happy, bring me new happiness and excitement
B - If we did hit it off, it would mean the end of my relationship (although i'm not sure it is doing well now), loss of children full time, financial loss, etc.
I feel like this time the grass would be greener on the other side but there is no way of guaranteeing that at all as well which is what I keep telling myself. Plus as i've said earlier, I don't even know a good approach to initiate some dialogue with this other woman without potential embarrassment and guilt.
