A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm good friends with a man who's in his late fifties and have been for quite some time. Since about April time this year, we've been seeing each other once or twice a week and been sexual. Although we've only had sexual intercourse twice, we've been feeling each other up, etc, etc. The only snag is, he's married with two kids, whom are a similar age to me and I get on with them all. I've been sexually abused when I was a young child and I din't like people touching me for a long while. I know it seems as if He's taking advantage of me but He didn't force himself upon me and He said if I wanted him to stop, he'd stop, unlike the other guy who hurt me as a child. What shall I do?

No one is taking advantage of you, hun. Take responsibility for your actions. Either, you can accept being the "other" woman in his life, the object of his midlife crisis, or you can't. So, if you can't, the options are to try to get him to leave his wife to be with you, or you need to leave him and move on with your own life. Well, I suppose you could try dating both daddy and son at the same time, but that most likely would lead to disaster. It could be fun in the meantime though...

TELLULAH agony auntI am sorry taht you were abused as a child, BUT

Why would you let this happen, and risk hurting this mans family. Its not like your in love with him is it??.

Dont you think you have been through enough without bringing more heartache to yourself and others. It seems such a shame that you cant find someone to love and that you will learn to trust. I can only think that the relationship you are having now, could set you back. Not make you feel better about your life.
