Jak, You're situation is reminding me of that movie, "Bridges of Madison County" (it was also a novel) with Clint Eastwood. Do you remember it?
The W is married to a good but emotionally distant man. She has an affair with Clint Eastwood, who plays a photagrapher in the movie. Their R is more than sex though, it's about an emotional connection that she craves.
It raised some interesting questions. Does she deserve more than what she's getting in the M? Would she have been justified in leaving her H for Clint Eastwood for a better life? Is she morally bound to stay in the M and raise her children, even though she's unhappy? Was her H capable of changing (probably not in this case),
Would she be justified in leaving the M at another point in time, that would be moral?
