I am really wanting a shoulder to cry on here and a bit of empathy!
A few months back, I was contacted by someone I knew vaguely from years back at work. He lives miles away. Wife has left him (YES that is true.) Doesn't know if she will be back. Gave lots of TLC by phone and email- got very close. Opened up and discussed lots of stuff that was very intimate to me, and felt we were true close friends- and there was a hint that it might be more. He certainly said enough to make me think that.
Have met, but not able to much cos of the distance. I thought he wanted more, but he has said categorically not, as I am in a relationship- which is just a shell really- stayed for the kids. He has backed off- still in contact but not nearly so much and I know he is seeing other women who mainly just want a bit of fun. When I mentioned him not contacting me so often, he denied it and made excuses. I feel hurt. Serves me right, you might say! I want to keep him as a friend, as I do care about him - would you tell him that you feel hurt, when it could jeopodise what is left?
