Dear Woman Alive

I have been married to my husband for 23 years, we have two children who are both now at university. I know my husband always fancied me more than I fancied him. He is 11 years older than me and I was young when we married. I have been a Pilates instructor for many years, and last year met a fellow Pilates instructor through a course I took. We had instant chemistry and attraction. When we met in person and spent some time together, I knew that there was nowhere else I wanted to be. My husband is a good man, but we are different people now, and everything in me wants to be with this new man. Please help.
