Hi, Sandy. I agree it can become a slippery slope, but I have accepted the following: there are differences between me and my husband. He's not perfect, but he has several qualities that make me want to stay by his side. I never cheated physically, but the thought of being able to entice me. I personally don't see mind wandering as harmful. For all I know, my husband might do the same and I don't find that hurtful. If mind wandering eventually takes you home where you are a better partner, I see this as an actual benefit. Thanks for your thoughts! EG.
