No woman should ever, ever! believe anything that a married man is telling her, unless she is his wife. Same with the guy who confessed his "feelings" to you. You maybe infatuated, or like others are saying, compensating for what's missing in your marriage, but I highly doubt that whatever "feelings" that other guy expressed to you means anything more then an orgasm for him. I'd suggest you work on your marriage so that your husband gains qualities you saw in that man who was attempting to cheat on his wife. Tell your husband that you'd want him to do things that the other guy did. Therefore, throw the card away from that man and get to the task of rebuilding your marriage. In vast majority of cases of cheating wives, the reason they cheat is neglect by their husbands. Seek out to remedy that... and no, you are not no longer in love with you husband but just in doubt of how he is expressing his love to you, if he does at all. That may need fixing and it does not get fixed by jumping to another married man.

Maybe it's just the intrigue of a secret-romance; that gives you an adrenalin-rush. You won't feel regret or remorse unless you're caught. Guilt is already eating at you; because you do have a conscience. You are strong enough to ignore your conscience. Yet, you're not strong enough to save your marriage.
Isn't the real question, do you love your husband enough?
It's more convenient to conduct an affair behind your husband's back. It's harder to come clean and tell him what it is you need at home that you're not getting. Why is that?

1. Whatever you do: be honest. There's only way to solve this mystery.
2. Be fearless. Apparently two men love you. Don't be afraid to be honest. Someone else will love you for your strength, down the line, if these two guys crash and burn.
3. Figure out how you feel about your husband independent of there being any other person in the picture. You have a legal relationship with and responsibility to your husband; resolve that issue, then deal with the married man you may or may not be in love with.
