Before you drop this kind of bomb, talk to one other person you trust to be honest and to keep their mouth shut. Get it out in the open, not just an anonymous space online.It's really not uncommon for people in their 20s to get The Itch. They miss the flames of a new relationship. Start thinking, "Is this potentially the last person I'm going to be with?"You say she'd be a perfect wife and mother. Well keep that in mind and know this is too important a decision to make just based on feedback from reddit. Again...talk to someone.Ask yourself, how would you feel if she dumped you right now? Imagine waking up tomorrow without her in your life?If you're at least pretty much okay with that...then yeah it's time for a discussion.However, if imagining her gone fills you with dread and panic do not screw this up. Think about it. Truly imagine tomorrow, next week, next month, etc.. You're on your own.Relationships cool down over the years. However as long as that ember is still there, be absolutely certain before you do something that will kill it forever or hurt someone you love unnecessarily.
