Have name changed for this, obviously. Married for many years but although we intellectually connect and have fun the sexual side of it has never been quite right. DH seems inhibited and isn't really up for anything out of the ordinary. Anyway, I'm on this committee to do with work and through it I met X who is a few years younger than me, overweight, totooed and into bling (really not my type)on his third marriage and very good company. Not obviously attractive but there is something about him. he is a nurse who holds an administrative position and has that nice empathic manner that male nurses sometimes do. Anyway one thing led to another and before I knew where I was I was being bombarded with texts, invited for drinks and we began to see each other.We do get on very well, not just sexually. It has really messed my head about. As we both have families ( though mine are teens, his daughter is 11) we agreed we would not run away togerther, but both said we would like to.He is an acomplished lover and I do want him physically but each time we get close to having sex he pulls back and says that is not as high on his agenda as it is on mine ( though he invites me round to his house when his wife is out), sends me porny pictures and tries to have sex in wierd positions, but never actually does very much. I've been really silly over this and I'm now unreasonably and stupidly totally in love with him and I think I'm scaring him off by being a bit OTT. I'm just so upset and want to be with him and I feel miserable because he doesn't think it is reasonable I think sex is so important and now he is off to Devon on holiday for a week and I just can't cope and he thinks it is unreasonable of me tobe upset.I've tried really hard with DH over the years but no oral sex, not much sexual activity and no talking in bed leaves me very frustrated. No one will have any sympathy with me but I just can't cope with this on my own. Lover thinks I should be happy just to meet for a grope every now and then in a car park - or to pay for hotel for our meets.(he seems to have no money despite earning more than me)What a mess, am I being unreasonable to want more from X - or is he right that I should just chill out and enjoy what is on offer? If I give him up I'm going to feel distraught, upset and lost, but I feel like sh*t anyway. Don't want to leave DH, love him but can't cope with barren sex life forever - I'm getting on a bit and this might be my last chance.Abit of sensible advice and insight please.

Oh oh oh - sympathy to OP, thanks for most amusing read from those not taking you too seriously. TF you have seen the light and realised he's a Wanker (must be). Sad 4 u that dh not hot in the sack but this chap not the answer. Be direct with dh, talk to him about what you would like to do - if you can be joky/flirty about it; or rent a film which alludes to oral and give him a 'how about it' glance he might find it less intimidating than it being raised as too serious an issue. Maybe do it for him and see if he reciprocates? Def a nice part of an intimate relationship! And screw the anal - honestly what a C**T that bloke sounds.

Coming to this very late but agreeing with others - he sounds v unpleasant and is using you, taking advantage of your confusion and frustration.

You are reaching out for something - but it's not this guy, that's for sure.

Get rid of him and do something for you. Counselling would be worth a shot I reckon.

BitOfFun · 20/08/2009 16:52

doggie says woof woof woof

doggiesayswoof · 20/08/2009 17:01

oh christ it really is time for a new name

harumph

roomforthree · 20/08/2009 17:03

Bleurgh. veryconfused, get rid. He sounds truly vile.

elmofan · 20/08/2009 17:16

please tell me this is a joke , im crying with laughter here & dd(3) wants to know why

tiredOFTHEDMemma · 20/08/2009 17:25

I got as far as here and sprayed juice all across my laptop-

"And the other reasons I should not be interested ( which I'm reciting because I still feel sad and disapointed and unloved)1. He really is quite fat, 2. He expected me to pay for everything. 3. He said he was used to having his pick of women years ago 4. Says he has rubber allergy 5. Warty hands 6. Bitten fingernails 7.Sent me lots of poems on clip art pages and they were pretty awful 8. The porn 9. Makes suggestive comments to other women as if it were a joke 10. has horrid shoes 11. Not nice to invite mistress to mat. home when wife at work and email to go to mat. bed (never done)12. Sent me picture of his dogs shagging!and with our names printed on the page. 13. Wants dogs to breed - too many dogs in world already. 14. In addition to the other porn sent me picture of a "foot job" in action. I know this sounds like a spoof and I am stupid but it is all true and I am going to be well shot. "

Especially number 12.

boudoiricca · 20/08/2009 18:26

This has to be a wind-up, right?

I was giving OP the benefit of the doubt thus far, but "the list" is too funny...

elmofan · 20/08/2009 18:32

oh god don't start me laughing again , my sides ache
the op has gone very quiet

veryconfusedandupset · 20/08/2009 18:36

Well, I really was very depressed last night,and I'd been drinking. Today I feel much better and I've recovered my sense of humour too so, He is not going to get me down and I shall have a good old think about the situation while he is away. You can send me up all you like - he is real, and the facts are correct, and in addition he likes dressing up in historical costume. On the basis we may be becoming a bit recognisable now I'mgoing to call this a day. Some people have been helpfu, and have helped me see it is not just me being snobby and demanding, and I will be working on it with DH to improve matters from now on.

OP posts:
boudoiricca · 20/08/2009 18:40

what kind of historical costume, OP?

lou33 · 20/08/2009 18:42

he sounds like a right catch

a copy of scarlet and pack of aa batteries and a rabbit would be better than what he is offering you

i did laugh at the list of things why he has nothing to offer you, tho

lou33 · 20/08/2009 18:47

oh i got asked out by a battle reenactor the other day

he dresses as a viking and stuff like that

in public too

i declined, way too weird for me

Tidey · 20/08/2009 18:58

There's nothing wrong with battle re-enactments as a hobby, but if the uniforms stay after the event or (god forbid) on an evening out, yes that's very weird.

Very sorry OP but the part about the picture of the dogs made me laugh too.

Megglevache · 20/08/2009 19:04

Oh no- how the hell does one get coke off a keyboard without it going sticking or chucking it in a bucket of TCP? I have just sprayed it all over the thing and through my nose!

There are some of the best quotes ever on this very thread and I am hoping it is a fabulous and accomplished spoof.

LOL at bum pix and shagging dogs- ewwwwwwwwww at warty fingers but boak at shit shoes.

Tidey · 20/08/2009 19:10

Oh yes, I was assuming that the costumes were part of a hobby. Or does he just like dressing up? Because a suit of armour does look odd when you go out for lunch together, and imagine all the creaking if he wants you to take naughty pics of him.

lou33 · 20/08/2009 19:13

though a cloak would be handy for laying down over puddles

boudoiricca · 20/08/2009 19:18

I think The List ought to be saved somewhere to remind singletons and those with minor peeves about their DH/DPs just how lucky they are...

esp. (as tiredemma says) re: the dog pics

thesouthsbelle · 20/08/2009 19:39

serioussly woman have some self respect!!

he's treating you little better than he would well a lady of the night to put it politely.

sorry harsh yes but it's how he's treating you. he's a twat. you need to have some sort of therapy/chat with your H etc to work on loving yourself and graining bothe self esteem & confidence etc.

maybe relate for you both might help?

hopefully this is the wake up call for you all?

good luck.

Kally · 20/08/2009 20:25

Did he ask you pay for the red stockings? And were they for you? And what had that got to do with anal pics? Brrrrr... Glad you decided to get rid...

Overmydeadbody · 20/08/2009 21:00

Yeah... it was almost believable until you posted that list OP.

Most genuine posters put everything in their first post, trolls drip feed info to keep everyone interested.

If this guy where real, and you where real and actually fell in love with him, then I'd sy you're one fucked up individual. He sounds vile.

knockedgymnast · 20/08/2009 21:38

Condused said on Wed:

Right, I feel a bit better now I have got a fuller perspective. I will just bide my time until he comes back from his holiday and leave him to contact me, and just play it cool

Confused said on Wed:

This has been going on for 3 months now, this week has been very fraught for both of us at work, neither of us has been well and we have not been in contact so much. I just wanted to have some time with him this evening

If he was on his hols, how come you were able to spend time with him. NOt being pedantic and haven't read all of the thread

confused is either an extremely disturbed individual or a comic genius.
