I’m a single mother, and I’ve developed a close relationship with a couple. Our kids go to the same school and are also close. I’ve been attracted to the man in the couple since day one. It took about 10 months for us to finally makes the move on one another. We’ve had sex several times and it’s amazing. We sext a lot and share our fantasies every night.
I’m falling for him, and he said he feels strongly for me as well. He said that he doesn’t want to leave his family, but then he said: “You never know what might happen.” I feel he’s contradicting himself. The sad part is I don’t feel guilty at all. He’s so romantic and passionate, but I can’t help but remind myself that he isn’t mine. What should I do?
