Honestly if you haven't stepped out on your wife yet you should leave (and that's not me being a dick, this world just changes you) If you decide to stay you need to find newbie friendly ladies to build up references and give as little (read that as no information about yourself in the real world) real world info as you can to anyone you meet in this hobby no matter how nice they are, it will come back and bite you at some point. Also stay "protected" if you have an SO (significant other) back home.

The hobby served a function to satisfy my needs, but at no time have I ever thought that is is a substitute for the real world - that is your wife and family. Cherish them. You will never find anything like her in the hobby.
You need a vacation, to get away from everything and recharge. Take up fishing, hunting, or etc.: you need some time to yourself.
You are the type of guy that will feel so guilty that he will tell his wife as a confession, hoping that it will relieve that stress. It doesn't happen that way. Your life will go to hell.
Get your head out of your ass, and quit thinking about your dick.
