I have been married for seven years and I have a daughter. I am close friends with a gay man who is incredibly charming and charismatic. Although I've shared every single communication I've had with this man with my wife (no secrets there), this man consumes my thoughts. I sometimes desire him physically more than I desire my wife. In some ways, it seems innocent because he is gay. Yet, I am wondering: Do I need to end the friendship?

I think you are in a position where someone is, most likely, going to be hurt no matter what you do. So you need to be honest with yourself and go from there. Only you can know what that honesty will mean, but it's going to involve taking a deep look at yourself and your relationships -- your friend, your wife, your daughter and yourself -- and what will be best for all.

I'm assuming that by "gay" you're not meaning that he tells a lot of jokes and is generally jovial in nature?
