It all started 6 months ago with a post I put on FB needing volleyball players. Next thing you know some light flirting at games. Two months later and more flirting (nothing more) and I find out he's married. We have a discussion and I was told that his marriage is basically only on paper, live in seperate bedrooms, haven't slept together in 7 years, stayed in house due to raising kids together and I'm guessing the fact that he's rather well off was a major contributor.

 

I bought the story he gave me about his wife basically allowing him to "do what he has to do but be discreet about it". The texting and flirting grew into meeing each other out for drinks, kissing but that's where it would end most of the time. He was at my twice in six months for personal visits. Then came the excuses, "I'm unavailable... work is crazy... kids are going off to college... kids coming home from college..." on and on. Yet, the texting continues.

 

My friends are all telling me I was basically his emotional fluffer. It felt good for an attractive woman to want him and play these texting games, but when it came down to it, he didn't want anything more. By the way, we are both in our 40's and professionals. It ended yesterday when I got up the nerve to finally say I had to walk away. Still heartbroken.

 

Thoughts?

Thank you for honesty. I'm just glad I dodged the bullet before I was in so deep that the next thing you know, a few years have gone by.
