Feelings for husbands male friend

Help I don't know what to do. I have been getting feelings and they seem not to be going away for my husbands male friend. I don't know if it's just a phase or real, as if we talk I get excited to talk to him or if it's the thought of just talking to someone similar to my age other than my husband. Do I sit it out. I don't want to disrupt husbands feelings and my children's childhood. Even got to the point where I'm starting to get the ick on many things that husband now does.

Then don’t disrupt anything. Step way back. Be responsible.
Be the adult you are.
Stop engaging with his friend.
Let’s jump into ‘what if?’ territory and imagine how awful and disruptive it would be for everyone if you and this friend actually got together. Who would bear the brunt of this? Your child.
Your child’s stepfather would be the very person who stabbed her own father in the back. That alone should be enough reason for you to get off this ride.
Get back into work or expand your career, learn a language, get a degree, get a dog, take up hot yoga. Do ANYTHING but fuel this crush. It needs to die. It’s not worth the damage it could do.

Avoid interacting with this person. Its just a temporary feeling. It will pass. I get like this sometimes and i think its just me hankering for days gone by with the excitement wanting someone and them reciprocating. But i know its just that and nothing good would come of it and its only fantasy. You dont have to act upon feelings and lots of them are just down to hormones too.
