(Serious) What secret could ruin your life?

I'm a flirt, and was a huge slut before getting married. I've been faithful, but my attention seeking and hypersexual ways were almost my undoing recently as I've flirted too hard with a co-worker's wife and she has a crush on me. I'm a typical guy and liked the attention. I would also fantasize about her when I spankeded it. When nothing was said it was all just in my head and there seemed to be little risk. Recently we would take little walks away from her spouse (we work in the same company) and she would tell me he doesn't notice her or give her attention. She's been working out and getting in shape so I would tell her how much progress she was making and drop little comments like "your husband is going to be lucky with a hot wife". It all took a turn when we were alone on an elevator and she asked if the dress and heels she was wearing were cute. I told her she looked fucking hot. She told me that she was glad because she was dressing up and wearing cute things for me! We stepped into an empty conference room and spilled our guts that we had been fantasizing about each other. We froze and both knew we shouldn't cross another line. The energy was crazy, but fortunately we had no privacy from being seen, just heard, so nothing happened. We walked out of the room and went on about our day. That evening the realization that I had almost cheated on my spouse hit me like a ton a bricks. I knew a couldn't do that to my wife who I do love and respect. I also realized that my desire to seek attention from the opposite sex is probably going to ruin my life if I don't get it under control. I've started realizing that I need to police my fantasies and probably look at less porn. I think I'm going to look into meditation too.

I came in to work the next day and the girl discretely left me a letter. Thankfully it was the same sentiment I felt: We were attracted to each other, but we were adults with commitments and lives and didn't want to hurt those we cared about. We would have to let it go for another life. We took one last little walk and I told her I felt the same, also that I would be shredding her letter and that we should never be alone together. She agreed.
