I've just seen a man I very nearly had an extra marital affair with forever ago. I was seventeen, he was forty-two.

He's besties new boss. 😳

Any man with the nerve to go after a young woman with that kind of an age gap, and when he has a wife and 7 kids...has a lot of nerve and probably a lot of charm. He will probably try again. Be warned.

I pursued him.

@Sonnet: Most men of 47 would not have responded to a 17 year old girl.

Do you hope to be involved again? Or are assuming it's all in the past?

@greenmountaingal: I know he wanted to. You could've cut the tension with a knife. I can however completely understand why nothing ever happened. I was seventeen, he had a wife, a family & a job that all could've been lost if I'd developed (too) late onset psychosis & turned stalky. I wouldn't have like. But I understand him not taking that risk.

& no, nothing would happen now. He's my best friends boss. There are boundaries you just don't cross.
