So what do you think, fellow TFP'ers? Is that good advice? Am I wrong to give that advice??

Daoust is wrong and you are wrong. Not because of your desires, but because you entered into a legally binding contract and you are violating that contract. Entering into the contract gives the other participant the right to assume that you are upholding your end of the agreement. This has been proven in court millions of times before and is witnessed by the millions of divorces that exist on the books. When your wife finds out about your infidelity, she will divorce you. She will be gone from your life in 3 months (in my state), and you will wonder what was so important that made this seem like such a good idea.
Frankly, I don't care if your screw every unmarried girl in your county. However, your doing it while bound to a legal contract shows a tremendous lack of character. There is no "I guess I am not cut out for...blah, blah, blah" statement that can excuse your behavior. If you aren't cut out for marriage, fine. Leave your wife BEFORE you violate your agreement to her. I have a tremendous amount of sympathy for her.
