I also know that they have problems and fight, even though they don't show it at work and act normal. I am starting to think that our friendship may be a means for him to "escape". He is a really nice guy, but he is married.So I decided to try to stay away from him as much as possible and I have cut down on our emailing to each other. And it went well for a few days. However, he always seems to come and find my or try to start up conversation with me and has even gone as far as playing around physically. It was one way though, I did not reciprocate. But it was not disrespectful in any way at all. So this is the part where I am not 100% sure whether he is attracted to me or if this is just a friendship thing. I can't "talk" to him about it so that is not an option. I don't know what else to do. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I don't want our friendship to turn into something else.

You are probably not as naive as you are pretending to be, but I'll answer the questions.Yes. He is attracted to you. Obviously he wants to bang you and probably for the wrong reasons. And I can tell you, you are an adult and fully entitled to tell him you don't want the relationship to go any farther.
