Need your opinion - Am friends with a married man whom I met online

He has conditions about me texting him - should correspond only during working hours on weekdays. That too he is often busy with work. No messages once he reaches home - if is not like I send anything obscene, just normal conversation. Even if I send him a text in the evening he will not reply.
Strictly no texting during weekends.
He went on a 3-week vacation to visit his daughter in Singapore. Absolutely no contact.

Would you continue with such a “friendship” or drop it? He’s afraid of hurting his wife - that’s why all these “rules”. I’m not even his lover, just a friend. Is it worth it? Am I losing my self respect?

What would you’ll do?

I can vouch for PaleandPolluted's words. I have female friends online. It doesn't mean that I am sleeping around. Does my wife see it that way? Nope. So, yes, I have to hide this fact from her. Relationships and people are... complicated. Look, honestly, I would examine your own feelings... rather than rely on someone else's judgment. Is the relationship working for you? Do you want more?

i don’t want more. Definitely not

Sorry to seem insensitive. But, I didn't notice that you had messaged me... privately? Again, if you're not wanting anything more from the relationship, I would suggest that you drop it. As others have said or insinuated, it seems like he wants more.
