Dear Diana,
I am 51 and in an unhappy marriage. I have a female friend who is single and in my age group. We keep in touch over the phone mostly due to office work. I got to know her during an office conference and hit it off well. I now feel she is the woman for me. How do I express my feelings to her? I have been married for 23 years and have no children.
