I love my wife but keep having sexual fantasies about my former work colleague

DEAR DEIDRE: I LOVE my wife to bits but I can’t stop thinking about a woman I used to work with.

Nothing ever happened between us – we were just good friends and she’s married.

But I keep dreaming about her. It’s often sexual.

I’m 42, my wife is 40 and this ex-colleague is 36.

I’ve not seen her properly in two years, as she changed jobs, though we’ve run into each other a few times.

I don’t understand why I can’t stop thinking about her.

I’m not unhappy at home. My wife is gorgeous, kind and funny.

But something about the other woman draws me to her.Why is this happening and what should I do?

DEIDRE SAYS: Perhaps the fact she is unattainable, a fantasy figure, is what draws you to her.

Because nothing ever happened, she seems perfect and exciting. Maybe your relationship has grown a little stale – or is there something else in your life that is unsatisfactory?
