I have an Oedipal Complex that has transferred from my Mom to my MIL and now I’m trapped in a marriage in which my needs will never be fully met. AMA.

“Trapped in a marriage”? That’s not how this works. You aren’t some passive entity, you are a participant in this marriage. Continue going to therapy. Don’t get your wife pregnant. Get a divorce. Don’t put the moves on your current MIL, ever. You’ll destroy at least two lives that way (your wife and your MIL’s). Put yourself in your wife’s shoes for God’s sake and have the courage to let her go so she can have a chance at happiness.

Have you considered leaving your marriage and finding someone who would help you fulfill your needs?

Maybe it would also be more fair for your wife?

Especially given that the notion of an "Oedipus complex" does not exist much outside of Fraudian psychoanalysis. (Not saying people cannot have the symptoms, but it is more questionable that there is an architecture designed to ensure they show up.)

Can't you just have sex your wife now and then in 20 years and your needs will be met?

My wife pretty much covers all the ways I need to be loved. Just have always wanted that feeling of being loved from a motherly figure. So I’m pretty sure I have mommy issues.
