About three months ago a friend who I've not seen for 19 years got back in touch with me. We both dated for a short time whilst he was in the country as now lives in Germany. Fast forward to three months ago we stared messaging each other, very flirty texts and then he surprised me with a weekend away which was amazing. He lives with his two children and girlfriend and tells me they've not had sex for over a year. We have become very attracted to each other and he's told me this week he loves me. He asked me tonight was there a word for what we do, affair? Friendship? Long term friend? It's made me think tonight that's what it is, friendship with sex. Should I stop what's going on now or continue? A couple of weeks ago his girlfriend of 12 years saw his phone with a message for me. She confronted him and he said he had feelings for me and that it was important to have communication with me. The girlfriend said it was ok to continue as long as no sex took place. Should I stop this now or carry on with this love affair? Will I get hurt when he decides to end it? He's due to fly here next week telling his girlfriend he's away on business. Would be grateful for any advise. Thank
You

What is wrong with you? My advice to you is to call up your 'love affairs' girlfriend, tell her the dirty disgusting things you have been doing with her nob of a partner, and disappear out of that poor woman and childrens life. How naive and selfish of you.

What exactly are you trying to say PlinkPlink? That she wasn't worth replying to?

@Honeyroar I did a search on her user name. It's quite insightful

So is this the affair guy you posted about in 2017, the friend with benefits or a completely new guy of just 3 months? Either way you seem to have a habit of sleeping with unavailable males. I'd bin this ine off, stop dating and work on yourself and then when you're ready find someone not already in a relationship with someone else.

All you need to ask yourself if you would like to be treated the way his gf is and trust me if you got together thats exactly what would happen.
You deserve better than to be some ones bit on the side, and I would say to same to poor GF

Not at all Honeyroar

Not quite sure where you plucked that reason out from?

I did intend to reply with some advice but I'm potty training my DS at the moment. Kind of means I have to rush off.

Did you feel better for trying to make yourself morally superior though?

Oh mate, want more for yourself.

Honeyroar · 24/09/2019 20:36

Crikey PlinkPlink I was asking a genuine question! I didn't understand what you meant, even after searching her many posts on the subject. Not feeling remotely superior, although a bit surprised at your reply!😆
