Dear Fonseca
Is it cheating if I'm married and have a secret crush? Let me explain more. I have been married for 16 years. A single guy in his mid 20s recently moved into our neighborhood. He is hot and works from home like I do. All of the women in the neighborhood are crushing on him because he is handsome and has a six pack of abs. I make it a point to get the mail at the same time he does and also find myself looking out the window to see if he's in his front yard. My husband has no idea. I feel giddy and like a little school girl when I see my new neighbor. We've only chatted briefly, but he's nice and definitely makes my heart race. Is it wrong that I'm secretly crushing on my neighbor? Is this cheating?
