Private any day for me. Who needs the hassle of having to commandeer other people.

I am feeling down. I know that all that really matters is that I do my best, but it still bothers me that I have a strong attraction to my sister in law. I can't constanty share these feelings with my wife (although she knows about them) because they make her feel inadequate or at fault in some way, which is far from the truth. I feel bad that she suffers even though she does everything she can to try to help me.

I'm far from an expert, but I can't see any time that you should ever share that feeling with your wife. I'm pretty sure that your attraction to your sister-in-law is pretty normal. The fact that you let that attraction consume you, may not be. What does your therapist say about it?
Much Hatzlacha!

Not that i wanna get into a discussion, but "attraction" - yes; "consume" - no? I don't really get it.

Perhaps maybe set aside ten minutes a day (or less) where you write down reasons why you shouldn't be attracted to her.
Try to get to a point at least once every few days where for at least a few seconds you feel absolutely no attraction for her. And if she would walk into the room during those seconds, you still would feel no attraction.
Start small and eventually you might be able to internalize it for longer periods of time.

I'm well aware of all the reasons I shouldn't be attracted to her. Thinking about her at all is usually a bad idea.

Your sil was not meant for you.
- she will not help you come to your shleimus, your wife will.
- you dont really know her deep inside , appearances deceive.
- she doesnt love your kids like your wife loves them
- she doesnt really appreciates you like your wife does , again dont deceive yourself
- deep inside your wife , you are the one and only man.
- your wife has molded herself to fit your likes and dislikes , not necessarily your sil.
- There are so many things i cant think about that G.od knows why he chose your wife for you.
- you want your wife to feel she is the one and only for you and in your heart
- your wife feels 100 % safe knowing you are there for her - in life
- it is in your capabilities to think big about your wife and small about sil
- Let's see a list of good (special) things your wife has that you like and
- everyday add something new to your list
- what makes your wife so special
- i am stopping here because i feel i want to meet your wife , not your sil.

I think your wife makes you a rich man , just by having her , the millions will come later.
Hatzlacha.
