Writing this as I don't know where to turn to get advice on this matter and it's just started to become something I find myself thinking about a lot. Sincere apologies too as i am not a 'mum' (so sorry for gatecrashing but you are a wise bunch)...

I'm 28 and have been with my partner for 6 years. We are due to get married next summer and I couldn't be happier with him. No doubts whatsoever, he's a great boyfriend as well as being a good mate after all these years.

We live together in London and have done happily for the past 4 years and have a very good social life with good friends, many of which are mutual and we spend a lot of time together as a result (which I am not complaining about).

Problem - and I don't know how it has happened because I am v happy in my relationship - I joined a yoga/pilates studio last year and got on almost instantly well with one of the instructors. He is 30 and gay (obviously so and quite camp). I go to a lot of his classes and he would often pay me a lot of attention and 'adjust' a lot of my poses more often than others (those who do yoga/pilates will know this isn't uncommon). I can't explain it - I've never experienced such chemistry with someone. He is so funny, charming and lovely (descriptions i would also apply to my lovely fiance, I feel so disloyal saying this) and we met for a drink after class one evening, had an absolute blast and have done it since a few times. It dawned on me that i might fancy him on Sunday night when we went out for drinks. Things became quite flirtatious and i'm as sure as i can be that the feeling is mutual. It's odd - it's not that i am about to embark on some kind of affair with him but I feel madly attracted to him at the same time. So confusing. What to do??? Feels wrong, but he is the most infectious character ever....

You are playing with fire OP... Be careful. Sounds like you are deffo doing the right thing in backing off.

He is not gay, he is at least bi-sexual. Gay men do not say 'you are the only girl I could find fanciable', they just do not.

Some of them do - I'm not sure you can speak for every gay man on the planet.

I have many many gay friends (my nickname is fag hag Hmm)

They are all extremley flirty and charming and if I didn't know better there would have been several times I may have thought they were cracking on to me.
In fact, I have kissed several of them quite passionately in the past, god knows why.
