Can somebody explain to me why a man would conceal being in a relationship ? When I say "conceal", I man that he never mentioned being in a relationship and we have been knowing each other for 2 years. I fell in love with him and he kissed me. He then revealed being in a relationship. He claims he didn't see it coming (i.e. the attraction for me) but it's hard to believe. I tend to think that if you don't mention that you are in a relationship it is because you are after something. He claims to be happy in it though ... I am very confused. Could it be that he is simply very much in love but just extremely reserved about his life ?

angelDlite agony aunti think he didnt want to ruin his chances of a bit on the side. if he was a genuine friend to you he would've been open about his relationship from the start instead of allowing things to develop to the extent where you fell in love with him. i hope you meet someone who is free and single to give you what you are looking for. unfortunately there is however an epidemic of men that 'forget' they have a wife or girlfriend at home though so be careful out there!

He wants to have his cake and eat it. That's why.

Exactly. Nothing more need be said. He will treat you the same way, and already is.

Hi, thank you all for your answers. I would like to add that he has insisted that he would like to be friends (when he told me he was in a relationship, I said it didn't make sense for me to keep in contact with me). He repeated he likes me when he said he wants to stay friends. I am afraid that, if he is playing games, he is trying to see o there is a chance to have an affair. What do you think ?

dirtball agony auntNo. If he was happy he would have mentioned the relationship. He was hiding it because he thought you would stop the flirty behavior he liked so much if you knew.

tss18 agony auntno. he is a player most likely. if you have known him for two years and he has never mentioned this girl to you, then he didnt want you to know for a reason. and if you fell in love with him, than more likely there has been some flirting going on between the two of you. and if he was in love with who he is in a realtionship with then he wouldnt have let it get so far that you love him and kiss him.he is either trying to get he best of both worlds or used that he is in a relationship as an excuse to not be in one with you. goodluck with this guy and hope it works out for you.
