You serious, Clark? I don’t see how anything that you wrote applies to what OP was expressing.

“Risk profile for engaging in one of these activities?” Who says OP was considering having an affair? All due respect, seems to be some sort of projection going on here.

I would’ve normally just chalked this response up as “ODD”.

But dear God, who are you to advise anyone to “see a therapist”? IDC who you are, that’s NOT OK.

Sounds like you might benefit from trying new things. Make it a scheduled thing: once a week, month, or whatever works for you, do a different new activity (like making a content calendar — but way better — bc it’s for your life). Pottery, a 5k, whatever feels new and challenging. If you’re not usually a thrill seeker, maybe switch it up and pick something a little more edgy — something that scares the bejeesus out of you (but also ignites a spark).

Actually, this is the BEST time to find a new passion. Bc you’re not frantic or trying to fill a hole; you’re simply asking more of yourself/life. Psychologically, a super healthy place to be coming from☺️
