This seems familiar
I swear I read this book.under a different name. The whole running into a former girlfriend or coworker. Choosing to feel young again with her and vibrant. Cry me a river. He chose the ow over his own wife. No.kissing, emotional cheating maybe and she touched his hand and at first he liked it but then rejected her. So not terrible!

Boring and AI
This was wordy and obviously written by AI. It was repetitive and slow. Spoilers**the mmc was confronted with his meeting with this OW and he acknowledged what he was doing saying she reminded me of who I use to be, they fight about how they're both lacking and then he moves into the spare bedroom. The story continues with him getting deeper involved with this OW but doesn't move back into the room with his wife?!??! Where is the demand for intent? Who would accept this with explanation? They never talk about it again, he just moves out of their room and he continues to not show up to their bench and continues to see the OW, wtf?!?!?

Door mat
The fmc is so weak I couldn't stand it. She just waits around hoping he chooses her. She should have thrown his a@@ out. This book is boring and the couple I didn't even feel a connection at all.
