i also suggested he and his wife try counseling, he indicated he would give it a try, i believe he wanted comfort or something of the sort, and seeing that we've known each other a long time and he also has feelins for me, made it alot easier, while i was thinking of wat we were doing i guess he was thinkin the same, dats why i said it was a mutual thing long coming.

i dont no if his intentions with his wife, whatever is goin on with his wife has nothing to do with me, that begun long before anything happened between us, as far as i no he was always a great father to his son, but he admits though he really wants to be with me but due to obvious circumstances, but this decision was also a mutual one. our friendship is still good so far. with reference to normal day to day things. it may seem to convenient but it was a long coming desicion between both of us.

so is he going to work things out with his wife. will he be a father to his little kid? will your "friendship" continue to interfere in his marriage.

strange how he just accepts that there will be no more sex between you two? maybe he got what he wanted and now he is satisfied and mere friendship is ok?

too many qiestions i have. too convenient story.

well thanks guys for d advice, i did explain to him how i felt about this affair, he seemed to totally understand and respect my feelings, he also felt the same about this being wrong, but what he did explain is that he has alot of feelings for me and that he regrets being married to this woman, because it was for all the wrong reasons, but he tought he was doing the right thing.

so besides all dat we are fine.

Lola1 agony auntYou simply need to talk to him and tell him that you value his friendship, but are not interested in continuing a sexual relationship with him.

It may take some time for him to adjust, but stick to it and it should work out.

He may need some space from you for a bit. Allow him as much as he needs.

Good luck.

kayla20 agony auntif you just come out and say that you want to just be friends with him as you dont see a connection.tell him you feel bad for what you did to your partner and even though things are going wrong with him you either want to sort things out with him or you want to end the relationship and stay single for a while.
