Is it really all your fault?

It seems you don't hold her to any standard as a mature, loving partner, except to have sex with you. Maybe that's too harsh but you seem quite happy to act like a parent in the relationship -- she doesn't have to do anything that most normal, mature adults have to do. If she sees you as a parent figure, someone who takes care of her rather than someone who is a partner, that is sure to kill her sex drive for you.

I think you do have to deal w/ her infatuation with the celebrity, but you have to think about whether that's a symptom or a cause. I would guess that even if you confronted her and she was sorry, the problems in your marriage will remain. She's looking for something that your marriage is not giving her.
