Feeling trapped by my feelings and emotions

I feel so trapped by my feelings and emotions, sometimes so much that I am paralyzed to do what I want to do. I want to leave my marriage but I feel so guilty about doing it. I stay with my wife out of guilt not love. How can I stop this from happening and it controlling me?

If you stay out of guilt and not out of love, you're really not doing either of you any favors. It's actually cruel to be with someone if you do not love them. By leaving, it will allow them the chance to find someone who does love them. Good luck.
