I have been with my husband for 20 years. I'm 43, and he's 63. Our sex life has died. He is no longer attracted to me, and he has let me know it.

His love is physical, not emotional. I am not the size 4 I was when he met me. As long as my body looks like he wants it to look, he's into me. If I'm a size 8 or more, he is not at all into me. I have a hard time understanding how he can love me for how I look.

Long story short, my first love has popped back into my life. I have tested the waters with him, and I'm in over my head with the way he makes me feel. I haven't slept with him yet, but I have done everything but.

I have tested the waters with him, and I'm in over my head with the way he makes me feel. の和訳を教えてください。あと、everything butはどのような意味でしょうか？後に何か省略されているのでしょうか？よろしくお願いします

"I have tested the waters with him,"
「私は、彼と自分が合うかどうか（しばらく）様子を見ていたのですが、」

"and I'm in over my head with the way he makes me feel."
「彼への感情をどうコントロールすればよいか自分を見失ってしまいました。」

"everything but" の後には "sleeping with him = sex" が省略されています。
つまり話者は、突然目の前に現れた初恋の人と、セックスにまでは未だ至っていないものの、それ以外の（恋人同士がするような行為）は一通り済ませた、ということでしょう。
