Emotionally Immature

I've spent the last couple of hours reading this, and other, marriage advice forums and cannot find an answer, so I'm posting here. I chose this site because it seems to have a large following of sensible people, so perhaps you can help.

Not sure how to keep this brief - been married for over 14 years, together for more than 16. For about 6 months now things haven't been very good, to the point that last month I was looking at my finances and seeing if I could afford to live on my own (I was expecting my wife to end it at the convenient time of our lease coming up). The last couple of weeks have been better, but not nearly back to what they were.

On top of that, sometime since about May I've made a new friend (through a mutual friend). She's a young woman who I've now spent quite a bit of time with (in other company) and I've completely fallen for her. This is possibly a side effect of my current marital status. Note that the feeling is not mutual and even if it were, there are factors that mean nothing could ever happen between us. So this is all me.

I'm well aware of my emotional immaturity (falling in love with a young woman, for example) but it's never been a problem for me until the recent marital issues. And I've now compounded that by keeping the extent of my new friendship from my wife to the point that, if I tell her now it's going to look suspicious just by default.

So - any help? Or is further information needed?
