Married man reeling me in...and I'm afraid I like it

Fancied this guy I knew for ever but did everything I could to hide it because I didn't want to face rejection...however, found out recently he actually has had a thing for me too but he thought I was married, which I'm not any more. BUT turns out He IS married (never had the confidence to get close enough to check, sounds stupid but true - nervous wreck around him!) yet he seems happy to flirt and was surprised to find i'd had feelings for him too.

This has really rocked my world as I've never been that confident and don't feel I'm that attractive so I can't believe my luck that he liked me too! He has always known he's married, yet still fancied me on the sly, and from what I hear everything seems fine with the marriage too. He took my number, made the first move etc...why why why

I'm normally the sort of person who would flame any guy for wandering eyes but I'm too gobsmacked to be objective. It can't be that I've 'led him on' because everyone thought I didn't like him, I hid it that well (female psychology eh!) He didn't know how I felt and was just as surprised as me when he made a move and found out! Also, I should be horrified that he's apparently willing to flirt despite being married...but is it always a bad thing?

I feel so uplifted but also anxious, unsure and bad for his wife...but as time goes on I'm feeling less bad for her. I'm NOT a bitch, not a bad person and am surprised to find myself involved (increasingly by choice)with a married man.

Anyone with any similar experience? Why do guys do this? Can it stay just fun?

Never felt like this before about anyone, sound like a sado, surprised at myself. Sorry to waffle

My x says exactly the same, he doesn't want history to repeat itself so he will see his kids, but history has repeated itself, he is all talk.

fairyfly you make me laugh so muchi always love your posts.

To the person who said that all men cheat so its ok cause she is single - As someone who was well adn truly taken advantage of by a married man -NOT FUN, NOT RIGHT AND NOT SOME SYMPTOM OF IGNORANT WOMEN IN SOCIETY WHO DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE TRUTH. Its painful youll feel like shite and you can feel free to come and explain to my innocent son how its actually ok that his dad isnt around for him - all men do it therefore hey - why doesnt he start soon and join the majority. And to the women who say - your single why not - I HOPE YOU ALL FEEL LIKE THAT WHEN YOU ARE EITHER NAMED ON THE DIVORCE PAPERS LIKE I WILL BE OR REMIND YOURSELVES OF THAT WHEN ITS YOUR DIVORCE BEING ARRANGED!!!!! honest to god - common sense!!!!

Oh and if anyone wants to shout cause i have done it - yes once when i was drunk - he was sober and i barely knew what was happening. He told my friend he was taking me home!!! I STILL FEEL SORRY FOR HIS FAMILY!!!

Hi deadoralive. Ive not read all the posts but when i was 8 months pregnant with ds i found out that my dp was having an affair and it ripped my life apart! I wouldn't advise getting involved. Its not nice for his wife and you may also end up getting hurt.
