I have similar thoughts. In fact, I'd submit that most men do, no matter how committed to their partner they may be. It's a natural response mechanism - a survival instinct, if you will. Men are wired in such a way as to instinctively want to deposit as much DNA in as many quality beavers as they possibly can.
That said, sometimes one needs to recognize that the mind simply has to override the physical instincts from time to time.
For example, if you're lost at sea and you're thirsty, your body may tell you to drink some sea water. You know, however, that if you drink it, you'll only get more thirsty. So you don't.
With regard to your partner, I think your mind needs to address the issue of trust, and how infidelity may impact your relationship. Even if she never finds out, the fact that you're in here asking the question suggests that you will feel guilty if you sleep with another woman. That guilt can then manifest itself into stress, anger, and ultimately resentment for the one about whom you fuilty guilty in the first place. In other words, it won't be worth it in the long run. It will only cause problems and be no more lasting than a memory.
Given what you wrote in your post, I'd say you should remain faithful. Try instead to introduce some variety into your sexlife with your current partner, like watching porn while you have sex, or something like that. Who knows, maybe that will quench your thirst...
