So I met this man walking my dog a year ago . He also has a dog and both our dogs got on so well we decided to start taking them for regular walks together twice a week . We began texting to meet up and then the meet ups turned to late night meet ups which we just let them play together and we would have a beer and talk.

We both developed feelings for each other and as of the other week he said he was falling in love with me and asked me the same question .

It was such a lovely night . Sitting under the stars and talking . The next two days here the same texting all day then when I got home from our usual walk together I had a text off him which read

Hi ..... I have had a long think about our dog walks and they have to stop . It's going too far now and it's not fair on you . I hope you under stand .

I replied and said im sorry if I have done anything wrong and he replied you have done nothing wrong it's just the right time to stop .

I have deleted his number now but I have not been able to stop thinking what he actually means . I won't be texting him again and if he does text me again I won't be replying .

I think he is not free?single

AnchorWHAT · 15/09/2022 11:54

Sounds like he is already in a relationship?

Flumpymc · 15/09/2022 11:55

He's married

EnormousStuffedMarrow · 15/09/2022 11:57

Yes I'd say he's in some sort of relationship.

Has there never been a conversation about your personal circumstances?

StrawberrySweeties · 15/09/2022 11:57

What do you know about his life away from strolls in the park? The answer probably lies there somewhere

Terrariatime · 15/09/2022 11:57

Also guessing married

hopeishere · 15/09/2022 11:58

fedup078 · 15/09/2022 11:59

Yeh he's not single

Blossomandbee · 15/09/2022 12:00

Did you not ask him why?
I agree it doesn't sound like a single.

feckoffbrian · 15/09/2022 12:00

In a relationship with someone else and feeling guilty.

And every time he was out with the dog, his wife would be in ignorant bliss

blockpavingismynightmare · 15/09/2022 12:02

I bet the dog was at those picnics OP

GreenManalishi · 15/09/2022 12:08

He's not single. Did you ever ask him who he lived with and where?

FannyFifer · 15/09/2022 12:11

Def married

RandomMusings7 · 15/09/2022 12:12

Doesn't he have social media? Do you know where he lives?

It would be rather easy to find out if there's a partner in the picture

knittingaddict · 15/09/2022 12:40

Didn't you ever ask him if he was married or in a relationship? If I met someone and the relationship was developing it's the first thing I would ask

SpinningFloppa · 15/09/2022 12:48

Married seems really obvious....

Harridan1981 · 15/09/2022 12:50

Married for sure
