    What you call boredom, I think is unhappiness. IMHO the fact that you messaged someone for a period of time would suggest that you are unhappy with some aspect of your life.

    It sounds to me like you would benefit from practicing mindfulness. You have this wonderful life and it bores you. Think about a hypothetical- tonight one of the kids is sick, you go to the doctor and are told it’s terminal cancer. Would you look back at your current life and think you were a fool for talking about being bored? Would you long to be back there stuck in the 9-5. What about if your wife identifies you from this post and finds out you considered cheating and decides this is unforgivable. Suddenly you are kicked out of your home. Going through a lengthy court process. The kids are devastated. Not knowing how much you’ll get to see them.

    Perspective is so important and your life can change in the blink of an eye. I myself suffered a horrendous injury a year ago and am only better now. One of my best friends got diagnosed with cancer at 30. I am so happy to have my health. A colleague in work told me she doesn’t want to waste her life commuting to and from work and being in the office 9-5. I don’t see it like that at all. I get the train with my coffee. I listen to good music and look at the views of the sea and countryside on my way in. Myself and my husband walk hand in hand till we part ways for work. I go to the office and am happy I can work again. I come home and enjoy that I am walking with no pain and how amazing that is. I get home and look round my house and think I love this place. I think as long as I have my health and the people I love life is good.

    Like I said maybe practice mindfulness. Look and I mean really look at all the good things in your life and enjoy them. You have no reason to be bored you should be the most engaged energetic and happiest man on the planet from what you’ve said in your post. Lovely home, good job, lovely children ( we haven’t been able to have children yet), travel and good friends. You’re so lucky. And whatever you do don’t throw it all away for the sake of a cheap thrill like an affair.

    From a quick look at your post history i would consider deleteing this thread. You have described in detail a recent holiday you have booked.

    Or as another poster has already pointed out boredom might be the least of your problems.

    Also poster used to be a woman ?

    Anyway, sounds like you're a bit unfulfilled. Maybe even suffering from depression.
    The mindfulness suggestion is a good one.
