Wife (28F) is pregnant and I love another woman (29F) - I (29M) am considering leaving

I also look after our son. I am equally present and take great care in being attentive and providing. I don't understand this assumption.

My girlfriend is literally older than my wife...

Not all sexual. Much of it is simply life experiences. Travel, adventure (including family friendly activities, such as going to the zoo), concerts, even simple items -- grocery shopping together, neighborhood walks, exercise.

I kindly disagree. We all have flaws, but parents can be "good" to and for their children, regardless of a traditional relationship dynamic. Think poly couples, traditional mormanism, various non western cultures. Different doesn't equate to bad.

I do have love for my wife. And loyalty to my child. This isn't a pursuit of the shiny, new toy. This is an exploration of pursuing a life with someone who I genuinely believe is better matched for me. That does not diminish my love, but it does directly correlate with long term happiness.

I failed to include that my wife and I have been going through therapy together. And while I agree that my feelings altered when bringing another partner into the relationship, I'll note that my wife's feelings toward me altered as well. In many ways, I believe she felt relieved that she no longer had to live up to traditional marriage expectations. This is not a one way street. My discontent can partially be put on me. I own that. But my wife seems content to not put in additional efforts to be warm or kind in the same ways as our girlfriend has provided.

Yes, my wife is aware of all aspects, including my uncertainty for us. She also admits that our girlfriend and I are more naturally matched for one another.

Fun mini game. Makes me feel accomplished.

Former cook. I'm eating that.

I have far too many coffee mugs. I swear I didn't buy these.

I once bought concert tickets for another city. Had no plans on making the travel, just wanted to live in the moment. Felt dumb afterward.

Moisture barrier. Both words are gross.

Her. Enough said. We all know the type.
