A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

hey everyone. i am a 17 year old girl and im having an issue. I like this guy named Tony who is 26 years old and he used to work as a security guard for my school. When he was working for my school i used to skip class andhang out with him and we would always talk all the time. we became really good friends. Last year he quit working at my school when i was 16 but we still kept in touch. He plays for a county football team and calls me every week to watch him play. of course i go because hes one of my good friends. when i show up he comes over to the sidelines and gives me a hug and a kiss. From day one of him playing on the team i have been there to cheer him on and haven't seen anyone else there for him like a girlfriend until last week. He came over to the sidelines and gave me a hug and a kiss and then some girl walked up to him and said "hey baby" it caught me off guard and he gave her a kiss. she sat right next to me and was talking to some other guy and i overheard her say "yeah im Tony's wife and we got one on the way". i was stunned. After the game i pulled Tony off to the side and he said "Thanks for showing up hun" and gave me a kiss. I just came right out and asked him who that girl was and he said "shes my wife" i said and is she pregnant and he said "yeah and we have a 2 year old daughter together to"... he walked away and i just left the game. He continuosly calls me and asks me to hang out. but im thinking why does he always ask me to hang out withhim and give me hugs and kissed but he has a wife. i am so confused but i really like him but im still in shock of what isaw and heard. so where does that leave me?

natasia agony auntI'm sorry but maybe there's something wrong with me .. i actually feel sorry for tony. Let's look at the facts. His wife betrayed him and left him. He had feelings for a younger woman who was totally innocent. No doubt, yes, her innocence attracted him - because she was good and sweet and honest, and wouldn't do the sort of thing his wife had done.

He was afraid, though, of laying the story before his innocent friend (as yet totally only a friend - he had/has made no move at all). Then the wife pitches back up pregnant saying the child is his. What can he know or believe? So he confesses all to his friend = that he loves her and would be with her, but is entangled in a situation with his unfaithful wife and possibly a new child, and his daughter.

I think he is a guy who follows his heart. I don't think any of that about him being a sleazeball is true - I think he is an innocent.

Unfortunately though there are children involved, so he has to be there for them. I think our poster sadly has to stay just a friend, for now. Who knows what the future will bring? Have faith. xx

this guy is milking your immaturity for what it is worth,. he is lying - he is not staying with his wife because of thier child. what bull. he has another kid on the way. please do not let him mess with your head . please do not listen to and believe his lies. you are not the first girl he has fooled and you won't be the last. i know it is a crazy situation but please listen to the aunts here. they have no hidden agenda. we just don't want you to get hurt. and you will if you continue to see him.

i hope you can find it in yourself to stop all contact with this married man. please do not go to his house again. he is with his wife and he is having another baby with her. please do not start an affair. yes, at first you did not know if her and the kids existence. now you do so please do the right thing. walk away before this gets out of hand. you can.

strength and peace during this difficult time in your life.

boo22 agony auntHello again, I am 110% sure this guy is a sleazeball who sees you as easy meat. Please read my first answer again. You seem determined to go ahead with it anyway. I find this quite depressing. He is married with a kid on the way. Some people have to learn the hard way and it looks like you're one of them.

eyeswideopen agony auntWell then it's obvious what you have to do. Tell him to look you up after he gets his divorce. This is NOT a friendship by the way, this is grooming a lover. Don't waste anymore of your time with someone else's husband.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

thank you to all who responded it did make me look at things in a different perspective but some things happened this past weekend. after the football game he said he wanted to talk to me and if it would be ok if we went to his house. I have been at his house before and i trust him enough to know that he wouldnt do anything. His wife wasnt at the game this past weekend. we sat in his living room and he sat next to me and told me why he didnt tell me that he had a wife it was because they were seperated for 6 months but have recently got back together but that she cheated on him and when they got back together she claimed she was pregnant so he doesnt know if it is his. he told me he was sorry that he kept that from me. he took my hand and said that he loves me and he wishes he could have a life with me but that he messed up and has a shitty one with someone else. He said he is staying with his wife for the sake of his daughter and if the kid she is pregnant with now isnt his then he wants to leave her to be with me. i asked him why he always kisses and hugs me and touches me and he said because he wants to stay close to me and give me the security im looking for. i am so confused i am in love with him but i dont know what to do. we are suppossed to hang out tomorrow night but i dont know what to do.

When I was 17 I was almost best friends with a 36 year old man with a wife and kid. Of course I knew right off the bat about that, but we connected right away and were amazingly compatible friends. Nothing more, despite the fact that we had more in common than him and his wife. We stayed friends until he moved and the friendship petered off. It was one of the most rewarding friendships of my life. You have to assume this is the same situation. If he considered you dating material there's no WAY he would introduce you to his wife, especially not so calmly.

boo22 is right, if you were such good friends he would have told you ages ago about his wife .

A female reader, natasia United Kingdom +, writes (24 July 2009):

natasia agony auntI think it depends what kind of kisses he gives you. If he's just a physically affectionate guy, which is totally possible, then his physical warmth is just his way of showing he cares about you as a friend. What makes me think there possibly ISN'T anything dodgy about his actions is that he was more than happy for his wife to be there sitting next to you, and he didn't hide anything from any body. Having said that, if you are such 'good' friends, then it's odd he didn't mention his family ever.

I think he enjoys a special friendship with you, but that you shouldn't consider it anything other than a friendship, because I do'nt think he does.

niki20 agony auntHe might just like your company as for the hug and the kiss you need to talk to him about that! thats crossing the line. I would be concerned about were he wants this to go. He has a wife and kids and he kept it a secret. if you are concerned then make him no it! There is no beating around the bush here if you feel weird then tell him. its strange that he didnt tell you hes living a double life.

trshly agony auntIf he's comfortable enough to do this in front of his wife I don't think there's anything to worry about. Yes, it is weird that he is a touchy feely guy, but he probably thinks you are a nice kid and likes having you around.

hey, he probably finds you attractive but knows he can't do anything with you as he has a wife and kids. It is a bit inapropriate that you hang out as friwnds though because of the age difference and it is definately inappropriate that he hugs and kisses you. i suggest you ask him why he does this if he has a wife.

boo22 agony aunthi there hunny, i think this guy is hoping you will have sex with him sometime and is grooming you to be his bit on the side. Ask yourself this. If you are such good friends, wouldn't you have already known he had a wife with a kid and one on the way? Friends would know this about each other, it wouldnt have been this bombshell would it? I think he's a sleazy coward whos reeling you in. Stop seeing this guy please. A married man in his late twenties has no business befriending a teenage girl. His motives are bad i promise you. You will get very hurt and he'll go back to his wife i guarantee it when he's had enough.
