Right now, it's a simple crush. I believe this happens to most anyone during a long-term, committed relationship. What matters is how you deal with your attraction to this "other man".
I'll cut to the chase and tell you right now that Mr. X is not perfect. He has annoying habits and quirks like anyone else... you just haven't seen them. NO ONE is perfect.
If you love your husband, stay with him. Every relationship falls into a routine that lacks excitement, but the answer isn't seeking out a new relationship with another man. If you want to leave your husband, be honest with him. This shouldn't be about anyone else or your attractions to another guy... it should only be about how you feel about your relationship with your hubby. If you truly don't see things working with him, by all means get a divorce.
Just don't cheat. It's unnecessary, cowardly, and ends up hurting everyone. You could never have a secure relationship with Mr. X if you cheated on your husband with him. How could he ever trust you?
Boredom, attraction to another person, and curiosity are no excuse to break someone's trust AND their heart.
