I (29M) have been in a relationship with a 30F for 2 years now. We have had some major ups and downs and resorted to relationship counselling a while ago and it really helped out. We were confident enough to leave the sessions and continue with the knowledge we gained. Everything was going great again, that fire was back, we learnt to talk out our feelings and problems in a healthy way.

Fast forward to now, the relationship is going OKAY. We have a few hissy fits here and there and my health has not been good either. Our sex life is almost non-existent but that's on me. My partner has not been taking care of herself physically and it turned me off. A lady introduced herself to me some time ago while i was out shopping because we tend to see each other throughout the shops on a weekly basis. No idea who she is or anything, just a stranger who thought she'd start a convo i guess. Anyway, like i said, we tend to bump into each other on our weekly shopping and we talk for a few minutes before continuing on our way. We surprisingly have a lot in common and i do mean a lot. She is extremely attractive, and she has been in my head. Last encounter we had she gave me her number. Now the moral side of me says "get rid of it, don't be THAT guy" and i always swore i would NEVER be that guy to cheat or anything (as iv been cheated on in the past and cheating ruined my parents relationship) and i still hold that value, but another part of me says "hold onto it, just incase". I still have the number but have not texted or anything. I did tell her i have a partner and she said "that's okay, you never know these days". I'm not sure if that says anything about her character or not, or if she just has some sense of "if it happens it happens" sort of thing. But this girl has her head screwed on right it seems, has a good career and path she wants to pursuit, good family values, etc.

I am now caught in this battle between Love and Lust. I absolutely love my partner and would do anything for her, but the lack of sexual activity and this feeling of somethings missing is killing me. Then there's this girl who i have been lusting over and connect with as well, but not sure if we would have a relationship in this time. If i was single i would give it a go for sure, but im just stuck.

Any advice would be helpful <3
