You love your wife, may you are just bored in the bedroom and need a little excitement. I think its only natural to want to have sex with other people, but most think its so taboo!
Still, I say go for it, eventhough there are very serious consequences!!

Don't get yourself sidelined by this.
You better think hard on this and remind yourself of your wife that has stood by you during thick and thin and bore your children, if children are involved. Remember your wedding vows to honor each other.
And yes, your old flame is still married. I would cease contact with her out of respect for your wife and for your marriage.

You both need to decide what is it you want, do you love your spouses more, then stay with them if not set them free so they can meet their true love. You can then go and be with your childhood love. A marriage is not a life sentence, sometimes by trial and error we meet our one true love.

If you are happily married and wish to remain so, you will tell your old flame that your feelings for one another are innapropriate and stop speaking with her. Please, use some good judgement and self-control!
