I have been messaging and talking to a married man for over 10 years, we generally talk about day to day life and check in with each other every single day aswell as sexting and videocalling. He has asked to meet me so many times and I have refused each time because my morales and beliefs are telling me not to mess with a married man, however he has told me his wife has cheated and goes out every weekend and gets blind drunk whilst he takes care of their children, he works extremely hard and cooks and cleans also, she has told him she won't change and he is free to leave if he wants to, he doesn't get any physical emotional support love affection or intimacy and hasn't for the last 3 years. I've advised him that maybe we shouldn't talk anymore and he should focus solely on his marriage but he says it's not me causing the problem. I don't know what this is if anything, should I leave well alone or should I at least meet him. 10 years is a long time to talk to somebody without meeting them. Any advice please?

I was in this situation for five years and realise he was a dick who had no respect for me or his wife so I told him I never wanted to speak to him again. You need to do the same. I wanted to be his friend but got dragged into his shit

You wanted to be his friend? Why?

Yes.

Don't ever respond to any emails from Nigerian Princes, because if you believe that bullshit you'll believe anything.

"See all" = 0. Shocked I am!

Do you never read the posts from women who have been cheated on and give your head a wobble?

. 10 years is a long time to talk to somebody without meeting them.

True that. What is your own situation? Sorry if I missed it.

I would go for counselling if I were you.

All day every day multiple times a day. Perhaps someone can explain the point of it because I don't get it Hmm

Yup

His wife doesn’t understand him, he just wants to love someone that loves him back, it’s not about sex, he feels more close to you and you’re soulmates?

You've both got the morals of alley cats.

And he's lying to you. No man would sit around whilst a woman does all that, cook, clean, take care of the kids...and remain married, especially with someone easy lined up.

What morals?

RockyRogue1001 · 24/10/2024 22:29

10 years.
Fuck me!

Noseybookworm · 24/10/2024 22:41

Your moral compass doesn't appear to stop you sexting with a married man? I would take his description of his wife with a massive pinch of salt too - in my experience most men don't stay with a partner who behaves like that! It's likely he's just trying to get your sympathy.

Walk away from this and find a man who's available to actually be in a relationship with you.

Oh this telling of the story is slightly different from the one you typed up a few minutes beforehand on someone else's thread, then tried to edit

I've been messaging and talking to a married man almost every single day for over 9 years, we have never met in person but have talked and videocalled numerous times. He has asked to meet me so many times during that period, we get on extremely well but my morales and beliefs are telling me I should never meet him. He's a nice man and in an ideal world, if he wasn't married I think we would be together, he talks about his marriage failing because his wife cheated on him and has no sexlife, love affection or intimacy, she goes out at weekends and gets stupidly drunk and leaves him to do his own thing mostly with their two children and has told him she won't change and if he wants to leave then he can and I feel bad for him, we seem to have developed something over the years, he's supported me alot over the last year whilst I was going through a tough time. I don't know what this is or what to do, if anything. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Morals? You haven't a clue what they are - let alone how to spell it correctly FFS.

Your bar is so low that it is positively subterranean and the best you will encounter are worms...

You haven't seriously wasted 10 years on this nobhead have you ???

BobbyBiscuits · 25/10/2024 11:15

His Mrs goes out every weekend getting pished out her mind and cheating, he does all the cleaning and childcare, and she says she's happy to see the back of him.
Well, why is he still there then?
What a fucking bullshitter.
As for your moral standards, you've been sexting and sex videoing with a married man for ten sodding years. Please check yourself because you're just as bad as he is. And he is no victim, believe me.
