You have got married and you love your husband though the love is not as deep as it used to be. Now you find another man very attractive to you. You find life more beautiful just because of his existence. You won't get divorced but you cannot help missing him. But nothing will happen because you only have such feeling deep in your heart. No one including that man will not know it. Do you think it's kind of betrayal to the husband? Can it be called extramarital love?

Over time that feeling that you have for that other man may find the need for that experience with another. If you have someone else in your heart then without question it is extramarital love. You may have never given your body but you gave your heart and that is far worse. I was married to my first wife for 37 years. Following about 30 years I discovered that she had 7 affairs back in the early years of our marriage. It liked to kill me to discover this and it required counseling to get past it. While I lost all trust in her we had been pretty good friends all that time so once I came to terms with this we continued on. I rationalized it that because it had been so many years, and nothing in between, I could forgive. Due to life circumstance however it happened again in our 37th year and this time I divorced her. While she loved me as a friend she never loved me the way I loved her and thought she loved me. That deception hurt me as much if not more than the affairs. So yes it is very much extramarital love and the husband will lose. It is only a matter of time.

i don't know how will you call it but i don't think that's extramarital love. as long as you're not doing anything that's against the law of marriage and as long as you know you're not doing anything wrong about your feelings, then there might not be betrayal for your husband. in your situation it seems that it will be just natural for you to feel love for another person when you admittedly honest that your love for your husband is not that deep when you got married. so don't worry too much. but i tell you to be careful of what you feel, your heart might be right with your feelings but your mind knows what's right for you. but i just wonder why did you marry the person you do not seem to love deeply? anyway, happy mylotting!

This sort of feeling are not uncommon. Now if the distance remains that far only I do not see thee any cheating but if it dissolves into frequent proximity things could get bad. Looking at the flip side better uproot them now itself and live secure.

I believe that we choose a partner and a relationship based on our perceived needs, wants and desires. When we consider stepping out, or do step out, it comes from a different place, it comes from a perceived lack. You need to figure out what you feel you are lacking, and then go to your spouse, and tell them what you FEEL you are lacking, and how that makes you FEEL.
