Relationships

I know the answer really

I guess this post is just about trying to see it in black and white.

I have been seeing a guy for about 3 months now. He’s currently gone awol having made firm plans for this weekend.

I suspect he’s been arrested. I know for many that is an instant dealbreaker but here’s the thing.

Since my marriage ended I have dated a few guys. I met him on a swinging site having not been looking for a full on relationship. We clicked massively. I would never have met someone like him in daily life for a number of reasons.

He has a dodgy past and I know that I should just forget and move on.

But I can’t. When we are together, I have never known chemistry like it. He makes me feel myself in a way no one else ever has. I can’t even begin to articulate how good I feel when I’m when we are together.

But I know this is going to keep happening.

I am at a point where I don’t even want to look at another man. I have no means of finding out where he is and it’s driving me crazy.

Fuck, it would have been easier never to have met him...

I know I need to let it go but why is it so hard?

Can you please all tell me to get a grip. I know it’s just crazy sex hormones but where the hell do I find that level of satisfaction anywhere else?

There are plenty of decent, non-criminal people who can make you feel the way you describe. I know it's so hard, but you are right - you do know you need to walk away. Infatuation isn't a basis for a healthy relationship, especially when you know he is so flawed. Steel yourself and know you deserve more than this.

What was he arrested for?

My boyfriend has been to prison so no judgment here.

Is this the guy who was selling crack?

Why do you suspect he had been arrested? For doing what?
Everybody has some kind of dodgy past, it dosnt mean a thing if it’s in the past.

Thanks all, I don’t believe it was drugs or violence related from conversation we had had and I’ve never felt at any risk from him. I think I’m just going to live my life and take it as it comes. I never know what is round the corner
