Guest Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 I met up with an old friend about a year ago. He is around 22 years older than me. We had a great conversation and starting the next day began e-mailing each other every day. After a few months he told me that he had feelings for me and was very attracted to me. At that moment I realized that I had feelings for him too. He said he would not meet me because he was too old for me and I needed someone much more my speed ( crap ). He beleived that I was viewing him the way I saw him in the past and did not see him as he is today. ( again, crap ) After a few more months we started talking on the phone, but not often. Eventually I asked the big question. Are you married? He went off and said he could not believe that I would ask such a thing. OF COURSE he was married! How would I know? He did not wear a ring and NEVER mentioned a wife. After that conversation things have been VERY different. I feel as though I lost a dear friend. We never crossed any lines and once I found out he was married - we never would. Is it the realization that I have morals what is making him back away from me? I am very confused and hurt. I adore this man and he has become a big part of my life. Not in a romantic sense, but we got very close. Now I feel like I mean nothing.
