Hi guys, quick down low... met this incredible guy in a bar while celebrating my birthday abroad he was away with his team mates (plays sports). It was literally like a soppy “when our eyes met across the crowded room” type moment...

After spending all evening chatting, laughing and dancing, exchanging numbers and having a generally amazing time he leaves to go back to Spain (where he is based) (I’m in the uk) it all came apparent that he has a young child, and is in a “complicated relationship” with the child’s mother. He explained that they were both very young when they had the baby and at the moment he feels that the best thing for the child is to stay with the mother. But he would like to stay In touch.

Gutted to say the least but I’ve just got to accept that it’s obvs not meant to be anything more than a fun evening that I will incredible memories of for a very very long time.

Just wondering if anyone else was ever in a similar situation and what happened?

Ha, so even those in foreignland have "complicated relationships" where the woman doesn't know that she's unhappily married?

I think it happens everywhere... of course I don’t know how his partener feels about it all. He’s due to leave for Australia to spend a month with family and I’m assuming it will be as happy families.

The impression that he gave is that he wouldn’t be with her if the child wasn’t involved he clearly adores the child and wants the best as they are only 3/4.

This is not something I have had to deal with or experienced before so just some shared stories would be nice :)

I was working abroad and met a man at a hotel when we were both smoking outside.

He took me to a very expensive restaurant (I said yes on a whim) and we had the most fun I’ve ever had on a date. He was hilarious and very sexy.

He said he was single, who knows if he was or not.

Oh if i had a pound for every married man who'd tried it on with me and said this...

Yeah that’s my thoughts exactly, we shall wait and see what happens.

I mean what if he is telling the truth? I mean there are loads of men and women in relationships that involve children and if there wasn’t that would a different story.

I remember your other posts Silly.

You do seem to have a habit of falling very quickly, very often...

It isn’t true really. I know a guy (not a friend) who has been saying he’s unhappily married for about 6 years and in that time they had another baby. They also go on holiday a lot together and his wife is always posting nice loved up type photos of him on social media. So either he’s a very good actor in this miserable marriage or it’s just because he wants a blow job and or/an ego boost. He’s joked about blow jobs not counting as cheating so it’s clear what he thinks of women isn’t it. Apparently when the children are older he will leave but till then he will try find someone silly enough to fall for it while his wife is at home

I have more

I also had a really attractive man once stop to help me when my car broke down. It was snowing and he waited with me until the recovery people came and gave me his coat. He asked for my number. I looked in the back of his car - 2 little car seats. I asked ‘are you married?’ He said no. Text me later on, confesses he is married but unhappy. Would I like to go for a drink sometime. I did not go

Another guy I know locally waited for me to finish my pub shift one night and asked me on a date to the cinema because he thought his wife didn’t love him anymore anyway and their marriage was dead

The estate agent who showed me a house was an old friend of a friend. He added me on SM and sent me a lot of messages, mostly friendly. Then suddenly appeared photos of his WEDDING. Apparently he had to marry her when he next messaged and I said erm... wife?? Hmm

When I was very young (under 20) an older guy From my first job tried it on with me multiple times. I eventually did snog him then found out he was married AND had just had a child with an affair partner and apparently was happy with neither woman

Yeah tell me about it, the lines I’ve heard I should write a book.

We just a good night, I wouldn’t say I fall quickly, and even if I did see a romantic future with someone then I’m not sure that’s always a bad thing.

It makes me wonder why people make this stuff up though? Just be honest. If I were in a relationship then I wouldn’t be necessarily hiding it or pretending I was unhappy if I weren’t.

They aren’t gonna say look I’m married and have no intention of ever leaving, would you like a shag?
