Limerance is ruining my marriage

So I (33F), am in intense limerance with my LO. It's been nearly 2 years and limerance was almost instant. I'm happily married to my wife and the limerance with my LO (47M) started after the wedding. I met him in a semi professional capacity (he's a politician) and over the last 2 years we have become good friends. The limerance has worn off every now and then but always comes back. Its causing issues in my marriage. My wife has pointed out I talk about him all the time and knows I am obsessed with him. Very recently myself and my LO have been going on beach walks at night. This has been very upsetting for my wife. I want it to stop. It has to stop. It's going to ruin my marriage and I just want to be in a happy marriage and have a normal friendship with LO. Is that possible? Please help! In utter turmoil and a constant state of anxiety! I don't know what to do and looking for advice. I don't think going NC could work, as it's such a small town and we're very involved in each other's life's.
