My brother-in-law seduced me and I think my husband knows

Dear AmoMama,

I have been married for 12 years to a very nice and steady man, but lately, I have been feeling restless. I have just turned 40, and I am still a good looking woman, but my husband seems to be paying less and less attention to me.

My husband was never a very exciting man, but he has been a good provider and a great father to our son. The problem is that a few weeks ago my brother-in-law came to stay with us.

He was always the black sheep of the family, and he has now lost his job, and his wife divorced him. He is also a very attractive and charming man. He is always around the house, talking to me, and the electricity between us is incredible.

Two days ago he walked into the bathroom while I was in the shower and he kissed me. I felt like I never did with my husband, and now I can’t get that kiss out of my mind.

I want to take the next step, but I am afraid my husband will find out. I signed a prenup that stipulates I get nothing if I fool around, and I don’t think he would forgive me an affair with his brother like he forgave some of my other past mistakes.

My brother-in-law convinced me to spend an afternoon with him in a motel, and now he wants more. I am finding it harder and harder to resist him. What should I do? I have a feeling my husband knows, and though I want to feel alive and sexy again, I am afraid I will lose everything if I give in.
