reader, anonymous, writes (25 August 2006): I think that is what this is all about. You miss your father. This man can replace that.
If he has worn you down; that isn't love as love isn't about pressure.
Get some counseling to address why you would still feel lonely and alone after years of marriage; that is your inner issues.
Because of your inner issue you have put unrealistic expectations on your husband and marriage.
It is within your power to turn your marriage around. If you recognize that there is a marriage breakdown; why aren't you out fixing it?
Suggestion.
Listen to an audio cd or cassette in your car on your way to work. It is called "RELATIONSHIP RESCUE".
Here is a synopsis.

reader, anonymous, writes (25 August 2006): Your right. You need to break away. You are heading down a slippery slope here. You need to try and focus your energy on your marriage and talk with your husband. Together you two need to figure out how to get that spark back.
This guy friend of yours won't have any respect for you if you give into your feelings and his advances. As a matter of fact, if he was a good friend, he would not make any sexual remarks to you at all. This is a toxic relationship. Don't be foolish and throw your marriage away. You have 4 children and a husband that need you and love you.
