My wife wants us to fix our marriage, but I think I've fallen for someone else. What should I do?

Good morning, everyone ❤️ Please keep me anonymous. I really need advice, and I'm begging you not to judge me. We are all human beings, and sometimes life puts us in situations where we honestly don't know what to do. My wife and I are currently separated. For a long time, I felt her mother had too much influence in our marriage. I felt she wanted a hand in our finances, and my wife seemed to prefer spending time at her mother's house over her marriage and responsibilities at home. I tried to address it. I even brought in family elders to sit us down and talk, hoping we could fix things. Nothing changed. Eventually I became emotionally drained and walked away. For six months, I battled loneliness. I missed having someone to talk to, someone who would give me attention, communicate with me, and make me feel loved and appreciated. Then one day, I met a lady on TikTok. Ehn! 😭❤️ This woman is everything I've been looking for. She understands my love language, communicates beautifully, and gives me attention without me having to beg for it. For the first time in a very long time, I feel seen, heard, and valued. Things are going well, and honestly, I think I've fallen for her o. What touches me most is that she lives in Lekki, but she drives all the way to Ibadan, at her own expense, just to spend time with me. Her actions make me feel like I'm worth the effort. Now here's my problem. My wife has reached out and says she wants us to fix our marriage. I won't lie, I'm confused, because deep down I'm scared of going back to the same situation that made me leave. But I can't ignore what I'm experiencing with this new woman either. She gives me the love, attention, communication and effort I always wished for in my marriage, and she does it without being asked. So what should I do? Should I give my wife another chance and risk returning to the same thing, or should I allow myself to explore this new relationship with someone who makes me feel loved and happy? ❤️🙏 I'll be reading the comments.
