I'm in trouble because I fell in love with the chief priest

Your idea is correct.
If you have an affair, suffering always awaits beyond that, and you will regret it.
The pleasure at the moment you jump on the food is impermanent, and it will always pass away.
Once the pleasures are over, regrets remain.
There are many questioners in Hasunoha who are suffering from infidelity.
If you have time, please read other people's questions.
You won't want to have an affair.
There was a beautiful boy called the Buddha's disciple, Ananda, and since he was quite popular, it seems that Ananda was also struggling with the temptation of love.
The Buddha was advised by Venerable Ananda that any beautiful man or woman would be nothing more than a bag filled with manure (unclean and unworthy of obsession).
Even a nice chief priest would be a shitbag if you peel the skin off. Also, eventually it was Yobo Yobo Osho.
Let's talk to your face through a mirror that even a wonderful monk isn't prepared enough to take responsibility for his old age.

If you really like it, why don't you confess “I like it” once? On top of that, I think it would be nice to feel refreshed if the chief priest turned it down. Your question reminded me of Rinzai Zen's idea of “Bashiyaki-an.” Various people have given various answers to this topic. Please look it up on the internet once.

Loving others... is a wonderful thing.
That said, it also causes “suffering”... 💦.
In Buddhism, there is something called ❝ unforgiveness (fujai) ❞. It is said that if you violate it, you will fall into “Shugojigoku (Shugojigoku)” or “Sword Leaf Jigoku (Sword Tree Hell).”
It's a ❝ commandment ❞ that says “protect with the three actions of body, mouth, and intention”... but “intention” cannot stay the same 😅.
So, there is something called ❝ platonic love ❞ after Plato in Greek philosophy. Please “do your best” to that. (This does not appear in the body or mouth).

〈My marital relationship is good, and I'm living a happy life〉... it's a wonderful thing 💝🥰💖. Just like having a “love” for a chief priest, your husband must have a kit with “splendid points” similar to those of the chief priest, such as “protecting a splendid temple (home), being kind to worshipers (neighbors and friends), and having severe training (serious life)” (finding them is also your “ascetic practice” 💚).
Anyway, please stick to ❝ Platonic Love ❞. That's how you can become a real “match” (in order not to go to hell... 💦). Gassho

but in that favor
There is no response through action.

Because they're people who don't do that
That's because you probably had a crush on it too.

That love
It's also possible to keep it only in love
Let's think it's a great ascetic practice.
