I need advice

Ok so first things first I am asking for no judgement please. Any hateful judgy comments will be removed..... I am really struggling with a guy at work. We’ve been back and forth back and forth for almost a year. We will talk and then decide to cut it off then we keep goin back to each other.... see here is the kicker I’m married and he’s in a relationship with a big wigs daughter. I know it’s wrong and I’m a horrible person . if I’m unhappy I should just leave but I’ve been with the same person for seven years and I’m scared ....it’s all I know. He is lazy and doesn’t work and let’s me be the provider ( not an excuse) but still. What I’m confused on tho is this. Me and the other guy actually met up in person after work last week, up until then it hasn’t been physical. We made out it didn’t go any farther and to be honest it wasn’t the magic I thought it would be. He’s talked to me very little since then and I’m just trying to understand from a guys perspective what could be going on..... is it guilt? Is it that it just was THAT BAD? Is he trying to pretend it didn’t happen because he feels bad? Is he afraid to feel something more deeply? I don’t understand. I know it’s not because he simply got what he wanted because I know him well enough by now that I know that’s not it. We’ve both been very conflicted for awhile and discussed it with each other.... so is that what this is is he confused? Also this isn’t the first time he’s gotten weird on me and has acted like he hasn’t wanted to talk to me much.... it’s like a cycle.... but if he really wanted to he’d make time for me right ?

It's really impossible to have a good relationship when you're both committed elsewhere

You need to leave, even if it's scary and then only settle for men who treat you the way you deserve to be treated, and have the self respect to provide for themselves not mooch off you. Someone to give you the attention someone gives when they're interested in you as a romantic partner that they can potentially commit themselves fully to

You're worth it.

The heart wants what the heart wants sometimes. That doesnt always mean its the right thing but that's part of life and learning.
As for the other guy, he might just be waiting to see how you felt about it and not wanting to push. Or he could be waiting for you to initiate more interaction. Some of us guys like being chased more than we like to do the chasing.

Literally like he’s been sending me one message a day..... 😒@Complexconfessions
@HotSouthernMess so call him and straight up ask him whats up.
HotSouthernMess · 26-30, F
Talked to him today he said it wasn’t what he expected that it felt scripted??? Whatever tf that means..... but still just because the sparks weren’t there doesn’t mean cut me off.... we can be friends like damn. Why are guys like that @Complexconfessions
Could be guilt or uncertainty. He could be torn between wanting more and knowing he shouldn't pursue it further. Knowing you are married and he is in a serious relationship, he probably feels he needs to distance himself for both your sakes, but can't stop wanting you.

Tough position to be in. Hope it works out for you both whichever way you go.

Thank you@PrivateHell
@HotSouthernMess you're welcome. Been in a similar place before. It sucks.

I'd say he's not one to have a relationship with, as the cycle will probably continue and cycles like that can suck.


Every guy and situation can be different (not saying we are, just that it can be different), but on average, I'd say he afraid to feel something more deeply lines of thought.

Though it's possible he could be feeling guilty, but for the average guy, I doubt that's why they suddenly ghosting you
Viper · M
@HotSouthernMess Yeah without knowing him, it's hard to say...
HotSouthernMess · 26-30, F
He’s sooo weird he told me he’s bipolar I just don’t know if that’s a legit prognosis @Viper
Valerian · 100+, M
@HotSouthernMess Well, most people would not admit to being Bipolar if they are not.

Just let him back away ...

You'll be fine! Quit agonizing yourself over this!

It sounds like a Teenage Date that just wasn't meant to be!

We all survived those!

This can be a little confusing for a gal, but as I can see from your pic you are a very beautiful woman and he just wanted to enjoy the pursuit of a hot married woman. When you guys met and done whatever you done was enough for him. His future is with the big wigs daughter and the security of the job. No disrespect to you on his part he just exercised his insecurities

The "FANTASY" got ruined by [b]Reality[/b].
This Actually Happens a Lot!
Suddenly the Wish / Dream / Fantasy is Real
And "Something" occurs in the physical moment and/or in the thoughts
AND "POOF!!"[i] "This isn't what I wanted!" [/i] fills the room.

You didn't cause it, his Conscience & Marriage got n the way most likely.
It was a fun game till the End!

Hang this one up! Move On!
Find a Decent Single Good Guy and start Again!

ALSO ... Dump your lazy 7 year Mistake before you have kids with him and he's in your life [big]Forever! [/big]

You are obviously very unhappy at home and any attention you get elsewhere makes you feel good and takes your mind off things at home. When I was in a shit marriage and a man at work fancied me, I did love the attention.
HotSouthernMess · 26-30, F
Well that may have been how it started but I have real feelings now and that makes things 1000 times harder @Travelbug
Travelbug · 56-60, F
@HotSouthernMess yes I fell in love with him too. He pursued me, but the attraction was mutual. Then he moved to a more senior position elsewhere so we lost touch. I was gutted as I heard he'd met someone else. Maybe I was just a passing interest, but it felt like more at the time.

Probably a little guilt. Since their was no magic, I think you should let it go.

Sorry about your at home situation.
1Dogma · F
well, you're committed to someone, maybe a the deal-breaker that's why he's having cold feet. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Pretzel · 61-69, M
he just doesn't want to get into a messy situation

sorry for you confusion and pain dear.
HotSouthernMess · 26-30, F
We’ve talked since all of this.... he cares about me he just afraid to get in too deep or go to far and then we can’t go back 😭 he is trying to do the right thing and I respect it. It’s just so so hard I want to cry all of the time. I’ve never wanted someone so bad it hurts like this. He told me he’s trying to do the right thing I just “make it hard because he’s attracted to me” that doesn’t freaking help matters @Pretzel

Sounds complicated
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
@HotSouthernMess it sounds toxic
Valerian · 100+, M
@HotSouthernMess SIMPLE!!

Right Now it's still a Fantastic Fantasy!!

This Guy is Your Handsome 🤴 Prince, come to sweep you off your feet and Away from Your shifty shitty Spouse!

But he Suddenly realizes:
"Shitfuck! This just got Real!"
"I can't move Out of State with Her!"
"Her husband might Kill Me!"

It's Hormones, Pheremones, Proximity, Fantasy and No Gonna Work!

So... Let it alone, let it Fade and learn and realize
