Grad school love story gone wrong

So I am in grad school. One of my study partners and I are very good friends, and we have a lot in common. He is married and I am also very good friends with his wife and son . We spend almost everyday together studying and hanging out. The other day me and study partner realized that there was a very strong mutual sexual tension between the 2 of us. We were able to stop things before they went to far and acknowledged that what was slowly developing was wrong. We decided to tell his wife before things went to far, as we would really like to remain friends. We study really well together and it’s a hard thing to find new friends and study groups at this stage in our course.

We have this oddly magnetic connection physically and emotionally (I honestly feel like this is love). Which is why this is so hard. For both of us. We are both trying to find a way to get over these feelings without completely cutting each other out of our lives. We both know we can’t let our feelings overcome us and we would never do anything to break up his family.

I know things are rough in his marriage and I feel like this has just added so much more stress onto the situation. Even though nothing happened I feel so guilty for letting myself fall for him even if I didn’t realize until it was to late.

Things we are currently doing to help. Me and study partner are praying together each day. I am working to bond with his wife and help her feel more comfortable with me around (she’s the real MVP here/ not kicking me out immediately) we also study more at his place to help them have more time together. But she’s working at night a lot to help earn money while he’s in school. Therefore their physical time is slim.

Please help any advice is needed

Stressed, confused and in forbidden love grad girl.

Note to add his wife was very understanding and honestly had expected something like this to happen at some point in school. We are in a female dominated field so there’s maybe 1 guy for every 30 girls. She reserves the right to change her mind and has full control about us continuing to study. She’s has been much more hands on since then but I fully respect that. I know there are some underlying self confidence issues but I know her husband Is working hard to make sure she knows how much he loves her.
