Clearly you already have one foot out the door of your marriage now so it's not fair to your wife to stay married to her and hurting her like this.step 2. Your girlfriend should get divorced from her husband.step 3. you and your girlfriend can be together cleanly.I know lots of people will tell you to give up the other girl and concentrate on your marriage. I think this is short-sighted and leads to more problems rather than solving them. If you're not in love with your wife - otherwise how can you be in love with someone else - you can't force yourself to be in love with someone you're not. it's pretty awful to stay married to someone while not loving them and have this situation drag on for years and years, so I think it's best to end the marriage the minute you realize you don't love your spouse enough to want them, so you can both have the chance to start over and you can find someone you do want to be with, and your wife can find someone who will want to be with her and will treasure her and cherish her the way you're not.

Agreed with Mariab - you need to move on from this! Think of your wife, and think of their new marriage; this can only end badly.

Its simple really... you have to fall OUT of love with her! As ridiculous as that sounds... you must do your best to get over her...avoid her...talk to her only when you need to and be professional. You are both married and its not going to happen so let it go! Else many pple will get hurt. Not only that but if she doesn't feel the same towards you then you will have an awkward work environment.
Good luck xx
