I am glad you finally got it out. It really helps. Keeping it in drives you crazy. You're not having a mid-life crisis IMO. Sounds like you are truly not happy at home and I can see why. This new person makes you feel alive again. That is a main reason people have A's. Do you love your wife? Is there a reason you are staying with her? I would not stay with someone I didn't love anymore or am not happy with. I am M but am planning on leaving my H. Life is too short not to be happy and if you're not happy, it makes you resentful. That's no kind of life to live. If you want to stay with her, try to work on it. If not, you might consider moving on, whether or not you get into a R with your AP.
