I mean, you've set up the scenario where you are basically saying; "I know it's wrong, but I can't help myself, because it feels good."
And this is crap.
You say you love your wife, so I can only assume she legitimately makes you happy. If you are willing to jeopardize that just for the raw chemistry of the flirting you are talking about, then yeah, at least have the decency to divorce her before you do so. You made promises. Keep them.
It's time to be a grown up. That means making your choices and living with the consequences. But if there is ANYTHING to your love for her, shoot straight and at least don't cheat. If serial monogamy is your thing, go for it. But at least own it, instead of playing stupid games and hoping she doesn't find out.
My advice, of course, would be to honor the commitment you made to her. But if you just can't do that, at least be honorable about it. You already have a lot to apologize to her for.

Get therapy or get a divorce. Your wife deserves better than the person you're being now. *NM*

You might try 4chan. Their morals seem more in line with the ones you're currently espousing. *NM*
