Forum topic: i feel that i love and miss the girl in my secret relationship more than my wife

ive been married for 20 years. we had a period of separation when she had to go work abroad. during that time i seem to have drifted away from her not just because of the distance but with little things as well. i got into a secret relationship and when my wife came back she seems to know that something is afoot. i lied when confronted about it and in turn put my secret relationship on the rocks to the point that i called it off. now i dont know what to do. i feel that i love and miss the girl in my secret relationship more than my wife. sometimes i cant even bear to be with my wife at all. help!!!

Are you or your wife diagnosed with ADHD?  Would you explain why you were originally attracted to your new girlfriend, and/or what created the distance in your primary relationship?  Not judging; just want to know the context of your situation.
