The husband part of one of our couple friends is away for a few days with the kids. The wife and mother, then, is all by herself at home. She stopped by our house to chat a few minutes last night, and I had a hard time concentrating on the conversation. She has always actually listened to me in conversation (unlike a lot of women), and takes an interest in my hobbies and how am I doing. She remembers little details about me, and asks about my events and plans later. This is, of course, where trouble can start. This is more positive attention from a woman than I have had in a long time, and I have a hard time getting the thought of her smiling face out of my head. I had a dream last night where she called, asking for some kind of maintenance help... I woke up before anything happened, but we all know where my subconcious was going. Her husband gone, there would be opportunity for all kinds of hanky panky. In reality, even though I really like her, any "extracurricular activity" would be mentally difficult on my part; besides betraying my own spouse, I am really good friends with her husband, and that betrayal might actually hurt more. Besides, I am pretty certain she is happily married, and I doubt she would run the risk of ruining what nice relationship we have by suggesting something and being rejected.
This is the usual path, I have read, for the husband with a frigid wife. Eventually, his thoughts go to another woman. I am trying really, really hard not to be that guy; I don't want to face myself in the mirror afterward. But when faced with a real, flesh-and-blood woman who actually wants to be with me, my mind cannot seem to go anyplace else. Even some hugs, maybe with a side of pleasant conversation, would go a long way to dispel these thoughts from my head. Since I don't get that, I'm sure my buxom nerdy friend will be joining my dreams tonight, as well.
There's only one more day till her hubby gets back...
