He's married right?

Have been chatting to a guy online. He is moving to my area on Sunday for a new job. We have been talking for a couple of weeks and he wants to meet - I said yes and gave him my number as I said texting would be easier. He said he would prefer to stick to talking online until he moves.
He has told me he will be travelling 3 hours every Friday to see his kids for weekends.
So I'm guessing he's still married and just wants a women close to work who can entertain him during the week! Then Friday night he goes back to his wife and kids.
So do I trust my instincts or am I just being silly?

I don't post my life or life story via FB, no info on school, work or anything personal - my friends all know it and anyone who I'm not as close to doesn't need to know. I don't post anything personal on FB, its my social life not my life and my DS's are both adults and there is always the unfriend and block button. I have never had a problem.

Not everyone uses it in the same way, though, forumdonkey.

I don't live my life on fb at all, but I have work colleagues and friends from hobbies on there. Posts are shared regarding event we have coming up. I only have proper friends/people associated with hobbies on there and that's how we communicate about upcoming events and stuff.

So I wouldn't add someone I'd just met/only chatted to online. But it's perfectly innocent.

I have found it insightful on many people, even people I have known in real life for years and have deleted them accordingly for racist and other extremist, sexist views. My work is confidential so I never post anything to do with it

and when he goes home at the weekend and his wife has forgotten her training enuf to query him about what he does when he is away at work, he'll get right pissed at her and ask her if she does not trust him! You have made a lucky escape , op. Congratulate yourself on your instinctive question that hit the bull's eye.

I'd be reluctant to add people I'd never met too! I've done it before and the next thing you know, somebody has written "don't let dem grind u down hun" on your wall. Delete. Delete.
