ADVICE REQUEST - will my passion for electronics disappear?

<< < (7/9) > >>

Simply young and cute women who aren't smart are not that interesting, IMHO.

The "problem" seems started few months I began working with young and cute women about half of my age.
I started noticing them and my mind is changed. I've always worked with men or on my own before.

it would be a reassuring thing to know that it has happened to others and that their passion for electronics has returned after a few months

I would just like to add one thing...

As you look towards new excitements:
 1. Pause a moment and list each of the things you have right now - spouse, health, home, job, family relationships, friends, car, investments, savings, hobby bench, wine collection or whatever.  Things that you have cared about.
 2. Against each, write down how you would feel if you lost that ... and add how you would feel if you could never regain it.
 3. Consider how your actions could result in some of those losses being realised.

What you do at that point is up to you - but I have seen more than one case of men getting involved with other females that irreparably destroys long established relationships and when the shine fades on the new found fling, they find themselves lonely and regretful.

.... and that's not even touching on the impact such actions would have on the people around them that will be affected.

Happens to almost everyone. I'd go as far to say that if your interests don't change over the course of your life then there is likely something extremely, let's say, "unique" about you.

Yes, I think about it constantly.

If you are relying on your passion for electronics to return to save you from making a huge mistake (IMO) in your personal life, then my money would not be on that happening.
Odds are lust will trump distraction by interest in a hobby. But then again I'm not a clinical psychologist like Jordan Peterson. That being said, you could do worse than listening to some of his stuff on the subject.
