There is in fact something called emotional cheating. Like you said because she hasn't been giving you attention you went to meet people who would provide what you required. It's not a conscious response but rather a reflex. You don't get the praise you require or the attention. So you seek other people who would give it to you. The bad thing about emotional cheating is that if prolonged it MAY lead to adultery.
You really need to talk to your wife about your problem or else it's only going to get worse. If you've tried then get some counseling. If all else fails, you need to do what's right and perhaps even a divorce is required.
