But...did you see the woman that she is today?
You saw a dream, a time in your life that you were happy and content and your first thoughts/feelings were.... "I wish"..." I should have"..."What would my life be like now if only"...
You are going through a difficult time in your life right now...your wife is ill and having dealt myself with the difficulties that an illness can cause in any family, those that are the care givers do at times feel as if they are invisible and all the focus is put upon the one that is ill, with no thought of those that are still well and healthy...as it should be. Even knowing all of this, at times it does not help with the loneliness and the "what about me" feelings you go through at times.
You're a 63 year-old man...I'm sure that honor and duty are something that you understand. Your wife has stage four cancer...not meaning to be mean or without feelings here but...you know the prognosis is not good. Do you really want to make things more difficult for your wife right now, someone you say you love, regardless of physical attraction or not ?
We do not mean to discount your feelings for this other woman...they could or could not be genuine and until you see and know her for the woman she is today you will never know ...but, now is not the time to find out.
Practice integrity at the moment of choice.
