What do you make of this text

[wowjustwow22]

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 .

How cruel

@hashbrownsandwichand @AmberGer
: there have been two previous posts about suspicion around a DH dog walking with a woman. Both apparently unrelated said the OP of the second post.
Hence we need breeds!!
Because this sure as hell sounds like the same story, from another perspective (as it were)

He said it's not fair on you, meaning that he's not being honest with you. He's not single.

At least the dog may get a rest now, I bet it's bloody knackered.

Yes I would also agree he is not single. Sorry OP

You seem so confused. How did you not realise he was already with someone?

Yes, I too remember the thread a few months ago from a wife suspicious of her dog walking husband and new lady friend.

Kudos to anyone who can find the post because I can't!

Married AF.

Sorry if I've missed it, but what did you reply when he asked if you were in love with him?

Just thinking if he isn't married, he might just be going into self preservation mode.

Another one whose first reaction was - married. Did you never ask him why you only had these romantic walks at dog walking time? You weren’t at all suspicious that in a year the only time you met was walking your dogs?

I'm surprised that you never talked about your situation. Did you not ever get into the topic of who you live with etc? He did it on purpose I guess as he was contemplating an affair. I normally block and delete but in this case I would want to know so I would drive past his house. Good luck

Surely you have had the conversation about life etc???? Has neither of your relationship status ever come up???

Either he's married or, you have discussed nothing and he suspects you are married. Likely the 1st one.

Adding to the chorus of married.

How much did you really know about him? Did you see his house? I would assume in a relationship too. Could potentially be something else big like moving to Australia, recently widowed or massive known commitmentphobe but partnered seems an obvious answer, I'm sorry to say.

He’s married, pet. Move on.

Haaaaaaaaaa made my day this has 😂😂😂

He sounds awful. He thinks it’s ok to mess about with your emotions like this and tell you he loves you then bugger off? Whether he’s married or not he’s no good.

My guess would be wife/gf has found out.

In al this time have you been to each others houses or on a date sans dogs?

I get the impression OP knows he is not single.

But yeah it does sound like he’s married

Thats a message someone would send if they was already in a relationship and worried their other half was suspicious

He is 100% married.

Snog Marry Avoid ???

I think you may have moved onto Avoid as he is already married by the sounds of it and presumably you have already snogged...

Absolutely married. 100%
