writes: Why would a married man seek attention outside of his home. He has beautiful children, gorgeous wife and great career. However i believe he is trying to pursue a relationship with me by calling me and texting men all of the time. He does not live near me and I don't see him but a couple times a year. What could he be missing or is he just bored?

Any problem he may be having in his marriage can be worked out peacefully in a mature manner. No I doubt there is a problem with his marriage. He could have the best family in the world with the most loving and devoted wife and he still would not be happy. He is not bored, he is merely seeking the thrill of having an affair. Do not get involved.
I hope that helps.

Lack of a sex life with their wife, or the need to feel wanted and flattered by other women. What usually turns into an affair. He lacks the spark in his marriage so he is seeking a sexual rendezvous outside of his home.

Yes, he is working on you. Don't get involved unless you want to cause a lot of pain to someone, or simply don't care how much someone else hurts.
Read online references about infidelity as well.
Just remember one thing, have an affair with a married man an you will find that he won't treat you any better than he treats his spouse in the end.

Some people just find it hard to remain monogamous and like to get whatever they can have. It's like one piece of cake isn't enough for them and temptation too hard to resist. He doesn't miss anything, and he isn't bored. He just lacks the ability to stay faithful, and can't keep his d¤%#k in his pants. A player in other words.
Don't try to justify his actions. Cheating is cheating no matter the excuse.

Before marriage: flowers, movies, romantic dinner, laughter
After marriage and kids: diapers, soccer practice, noisy children, sleep deprivation, obligation sex, household chores, nagging wife, etc
He has to learn to appreciate what he has rather than going back to where he was to achieve what he has now.

It could be a number of things.
He could be bored, and have a short attention span, an inability to maintain longterm relationships based on an intimacy problem.
He could have a sex addiction, or a love addiction. He could be attention hungry, overworked and feeling underappreciated, flat out selfish or even just dumb and unable to see what he is risking.
Either way, what are you getting out of this twice a year meeting? Unanswered questions and confusion?
Whatever the reason is that he has decided to approach you, it is in your best interest to be proactive, and not reactive. What do you want out of a relationship? If it is intimacy and commitment you wont get it from this man.
I don't know enough about the situation to make a full assessment but I think you can definitely do better. Set your sights high, and don't wait for a man to decide to drop in and spend time with you.

This happens in many people's lifes. Sometimes men seek it out for the thrill. In most cases that I have experienced it has been due to an underlying dis-satisfaction with their current sittuation. Outside appearances in a marriage are not always what is happening. Ask him what his intentions are. Decide from that how you feel about them and be honest with him.
