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 ?

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

You think he’s afraid to get in too deep? @Viper

@HotSouthernMess maybe afraid to get too deep [u]and then want out[/u] yeah...

But generally guys go as deep as they can, balls to the walls as they might say

See that’s whats confusing..... he said he wanted to take it slow and didn’t wanna go in the back seat right away or anything because he didn’t want me to regret anything later on @Viper

@Viper obviously he cares about me so like why is he avoiding me 😭
Viper · M
@HotSouthernMess he wants to make sure you both don't regret anything. .. and don't want to go back, or regret taking that option

I mean do you think it was THAT BAD or something that he’s just totally turned off @Viper
Viper · M
@HotSouthernMess I don't know him, or what he's thinking...

But doubt he'd be kissing if he was totally turned off
HotSouthernMess · 26-30, F
He had my shirt off and I don’t even think anything was going on down there for him soooo I just don’t know @Viper
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

@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!
