    Part time Mistress ( as CW asked ) to unfold LONG STORY

    Ok, I took some time to try and do a CW asked.

    So this may hopefully be less confusing to those who come in on the 3rd page and are confused. Due to the story being out of sequence .

    Lets start from the beginning .. I work in an Auto parts store as a parts Pro. I met , I'll call him ”John “. Last May,2009 , he came in my store for items for his truck, and some things we didn't carry so I offered to help him find the things elsewhere.

    He gave me his # and I did the research when I got home. Found his things he needed online, called him and told him next time he came in , I had a list of online sites and prices printed out.

    A week or so later he came in and got it, then asked me about other things he needed. We talked about the products and he got some I had recommended.
    After a few of these times, he asked me to see his truck in the parking lot and recommend something else for his rims & windows. We talked about his truck and we talked about my car I had just bought and he looked at mine & said it needed a good Buff/ Wax job and sometime if I wanted he could help me buff/ wax it as a Thank you for all of my help.

    We arranged to me at a local Car Wash the following Sunday. He washed his truck, me my car, as it had to be clean to Wax & Buff with his Professional Car Buffer.

    I had Tree Pitch/ Sap all over my car from parking under a tree at my place and it didn't come off in the wash, so he said to get some tar/ pitch remover from my store and get it off & he'd come to my place sometime with the buffer.

    We met 2 weeks later, he buffed out my car and we talked cars and fishing, general friendly conversations. He Never came in my place, never asked or was asked in by me and was a perfect gentleman.

    We liked cars and keeping the cars in tip top shape and weekly I had new products to offer him or tell him about so we arranged to meet at the car wash every Sunday before I went to work,.


    He's a morning person, so am I and since I work at 9 am on the Sundays that I do work, (which are most of them, ) and he's a Monday thru Friday work guy, it was a great time to be productive and be friends and help each other out.

    So we'd meet at 8 am every Sunday, wash car and truck and talk cars or Nature like fishing, hunting, hiking .

    After a month of car washes, this brings us into late June, We were washing his truck and of course were friends enough to have some “child's play “with the soap and water. He grabbed me and Said “Truce ? “ I said i”I will cost you, Natives only have Treaty's, You must give up something for the War~path to Stop. “ So he Kissed me !! I Kissed back, then we washed my car quickly, as I only had a few minutes to get to work.

    I go to work, change into my work uniform and later in the day he texted me, “ Hope my Sunday Beard didn't hurt your tender face “. I texted back, No worry”s it was just a kiss and I was fine. He texted the next day, “Are we still friends and Sunday at the Car Wash ?”

    I said “yeppers and will bring some stuff for the windows for your truck “ ( Water spots ) The next Sunday we met , washed the Car & Truck. Talked about our Usual, Nature, Fishing, Cars, places we have been .. We had never talked about Personal home things, Other than I had 2 adult kids living home and He had an adult Son, one that he had actually introduced to me when he was in my store getting parts for his sons car..

    Anyway. Just as I was leaving from the car wash to work that next Sunday , I went over gave him a hug and kissed him, ( Bravely ) and said That's a KISS !! And I said I could get to like him a lot. I then walked away and went to work.

    I got text later that day, “ Wow that was sweet, but didn't you know I'm Married ?” I said “ No, I'm Sorry , I'm married too . I'm really sorry “ He then asked that we talk in person about it as our txt's were costing us both extra money , ( we both had the pay per text things on our phones ) So we agreed to meet at the park the next lunch time for him that I had a day off . ( our lunches do not coincide)


    That was 2 days later. So we met at the park, I explained about my husband and our 6 year no see each other marriage and the decision to not have him come here to the USA illegally.

    “John “ explained his almost 2 year old marriage at that time, wife with Fibro, him sleeping on couch, because she was in pain if he touched her while they were sleeping, her mood swings, her imbalance of going through Menopause, & such. He said he had married her to help her out, he DOES love her but wasn't “in love ' with her. And that he was very Committed to the Marriage.

    So then we decided to just be Friends. Share our stories, our lives, in bits and pieces, as we both work and try and support each other with our emotions and thoughts and just daily things.

    No more wild instantaneous kisses but still meet for Car Wash Sunday. It didn't work out that way. One time in September I let him know I had a full Saturday off coming up . He said “ Instead of a Car Wash, would you like to go on Base and visit the River?

    This is a government wildlife and military base , or I should just say federal Land. Pristine, no Campers or Trashy things, Just Raw Nature, if you get away from the Military training grounds where they do all the shooting and training combat things . And you cannot get on the base without a pass and he works on base.

    I'm an avid nature photographer, it was a chance of a lifetime to hopefully photograph the Eagles that nest on this river. So I jumped at this rare chance and we met of base and we took his 4X4 onto the Base .
    To consolidate this, we went to the river, talked, I took pictures, and we got onto the subject of his wife, this is when he told me about her Fibro and menopause and how he sleeps on the couch.

    Again, the friend in me, tried to help him. I've been through menopause, I offered remedies that may help her, offered to research the net on Fibro remedies /treatments to ease her pain . I know/ knew nothing about that disease. I told him that ,on her mood swings to be more attentive, maybe surprise her with flowers or take her out to dinner. Do the unexpected, make her feel she is still a beautiful , loved woman, and that menopause does not take away womanhood, just the ability to reproduce.


    He thanked me , hugged me, gave me a kiss that was deep and we almost got carried away. We both stopped and agreed that this was wrong. That is when he said he was devoted to his wife, committed to his marriage and that he could give me nothing but friendship. I apologized and agreed with him and as even though I hadn't heard from my husband in almost 6 years, I was still technically married myself.
    We packed up the things we took with us, my Nikon camera ,a picnic tote and he took me back to my car. End of Nature Date # 1. we texted through out another month, Still had our Car washes on Sundays. All was fine and a great Friendship was still in tact.

    August rolls around, my birthday is in late August . I had a Saturday off coming up and when he heard that, he said he would like to take me to the river for my birthday gift. Take some fishing poles and hang out for a few hours, walk the trails take some pictures of nature. Things he knew I loved to do, and he also enjoyed. I accepted the gift of a day in nature with a loved friend.

    Nature Date # 2
    Basically the same scenario, met, took the 4 X 4, went deeper into the river area, I had the Nikon, and a Picnic tote, he had poles and a camping set. We fished, talked, caught a couple of trout, cooked them for lunch, took pictures of many things, huge ferns, trees with dripping moss, sunlight filtering thru the trees, wild flowers. All around a beautiful morning.

    When packing to leave, we were loading the truck and he wrapped his arms around me, kissed me and said “if only I'd met you first”.. I knew better, but I kissed him back passionately. And we got “Hot and Heavy” and tried to make love. We were there, wanting each other, and almost to “sealing the Deal “ as one poster said. And he deflated. Lost “it” and we stopped , Dressed and went to finish packing up. He apologized, I did too and we went back to “normal”. End of Nature Date # 2.

    Back to our normal texts and normal friendship, Bonding closer by sharing more of our lives, trials and experiences .



    Mid September, I get a Text from him. “ Wanna take an over night road trip to the Coast ? “ … “I'm Whats up , the Seagulls mating season, Crab season , Driftwood collection season ? Lol “

    He said “ No, I gotta run to the coast and wife doesn't want to go. Would love the company if you are free ?“ I Said 'let me check , when ? “ And then checked my work schedule ,said “ yeppers I can make that, I'll bring the Nikon”. Another Nature Date planned.

    It never happened !!!!! Last minute changes, his wife felt well enough to go. I felt that that was something they needed to do, get away, enjoy, be together somewhere besides their home, a Mini Vacation so to speak.

    Back to Normal after their trip. Our texts and car washes and just the Friendship. End of September, No more car washes, Rainy Season here. We chatted about how to survive the Fall and Winter without seeing each other once a week . We decided to “ Back Burner “ our seeing each other relationship, Stay in contact through Texting.

    We did good , I think, but it was different, he texted more about his wife's drinking, her moods, her illness, how it was so frustrating to work every day and come home to someone who didn't seem to love him, she didn't seem to appreciate the things he does for her and what he would like to do with her. He'd go home after work cook his own dinner and go to sleep on the couch.

    Sympathetic ? I was and felt he deserved better. Opened my big mouth and heart and spoke my feelings. “He deserved someone who loved him, for the special things he does, like nature birthdays and coming home and getting “ Loved “ cooking dinner together, watching TV or just Snuggling. He also deserved to be Respected for his commitment to the woman he loved and married. Takes a very strong and dedicated man, to not just leave and find someone like Me , who appreciates his qualities.. “

    That's where I got to be “BG Aka His Baby Girl” It was in a text, “ You are so sweet and compassionate and loving , Thanks Baby Girl”,



    We had decided that since car washes were out we'd feed the ducks on Sundays before I went to work, almost every Sunday thru October and November and December, we met, talked, hugged a few kisses, always stopping before anything got outta hand.

    New Years early Eve,I texted him a … How ya doing hun ? And a Have a Great New Years!!!! And got no reply for hours. Finally ,I Text asking if everything was ok.? He said “Can't chat in Hospital”.

    Of course my heart fell, I was worried he was hurt, so text back , You OK ? He said “Can't chat, wife tripped over the dogs, was drunk. Txt ya later.”

    6 am New Years Day He texts me “ Sorry BG, Wife and I were getting ready to go out for NYE Party, She tripped over the Dogs in her heels and twisted her ankle, not broken, sprained. Gotta spend the day taking care of her . Luv You”.
    I waited all day and he finally texts me around 7 pm, said she was out for the count on Pain meds. Asked how my day was ( I worked ) and that's when he asked if we were going to still meet Sunday to feed the Ducks. I of course said yes. So we met that Sunday, Did our “Normal” feed ducks walk a trail , have a few “Hugz and Luvz “, as I call them. And then he asked if I wanted to meet him for lunch at the park on my next day off, 11:15 am to about 12:15 or 12:30.
    I had figured he needed some advice and that was why he wanted to meet during the week and that our 45 mins on Sunday wasn't enough.

    So I agreed .We did meet and we did our usual only talk ed longer and in more detail. He is unhappy, he is tired of working his *** off and coming home not knowing if she is going to be drunk or not, tired of wondering if he can hug her or try to talk with her, tired of sleeping on the couch, tired of working weekends to build the decks and fencing to make their home a beautiful one, gardening, buying new appliances to upgrade so the home is nice.

    I empathized with him, My first husband ( the one of my 2 youngest children ) was an alcoholic, He left us in 1990 and died 50 years old from Liver and Pancreatic Disease. I told “John “ get her some help, get it now !!




    He said that he already has taken her keys, parked his truck behind hers so she couldn't leave, then admitted that she had a DUI/DWI already. It cost him thousands to keep it her from spending time in jail. That is when I told him to not try to stop her from drinking and driving ,

    That was the WRONG Advise that I mentioned in an earlier post. And I told him there were many short term clinic's in-patient and out patient, and that not only could she injure or kill herself but possibly someone else. Not to mention that being married he was responsible for her bills, should she be sued for an accident.He said “Thanks BG, for getting my head outta my ***. “

    Met that Sunday as usual, walked a different trail, ( this park has a few ) we saw a Huge Tree that was very Wide for this park,, wide in meaning about 4 foot wide at the base. Or waist high.
    It was curved a bit and blocked the view from most of the front trail ways ..I didn't have my Nikon with me, so went up the trail and took a picture with my Cell camera.
    So I walked back to the tree and gave him my Hugz & Luvz and that is when the kisses got more passionate and we did a bit more than just kissing and hugging. We were lost in the passion and an older ,than us couple ,walked near , saw us and just smiled and said good morning.

    After that , all through January to April, We met Sundays and it just got more and more Passionate and Risky. Risk of getting caught, Never unclothing though some lifting or un~ buttoning / zipping ... No chancing intercourse or any oral type. Just before I first posted here, is when he had asked to meet on my weekend day, that I had off. That is when I posted here asking for some advise or direction ?

    We did meet and went on to the River, Talked and tried to make love again.. As Usual he Failed to complete the Mission. Leaving us both very frustrated. That is when he told me his wife was leaving town for a 4 day trip, out of state. The Memorial day weekend. He asked if I wanted to spend some time with him at night on Saturday night, the 29th. He said he is a better “ Lover “ in the night time. More relaxed and romantic.

    I put in for that day off work and have it off, I am planning on meeting him, Friday night or Saturday late afternoon. The main reason why I came to a Help forum was to see what others thought, see if anyone else has been in this situation ?

    I do want to make love with him, I will be honest about that. I think that all this time he has been saying he can't because of Guilt and going home to her after our meetings, that if he didn't have to go home and face her like nothing happened except he was out doing his normal weekend things on the base like shopping for plants or wood to build their decks or the other things he did before meeting me. I'd like to see if can function sexually ?


    If he can't, it will not change my love for him, it may change our relationship back to a loving friendship and I would have to be very firm on not attempting sexual relations and keep it as it started. Until he is free to love me without guilt or regrets or being in turmoil of which woman he loves to be with.

    A few people have asked questions, and I answered honestly. But … as CW said, it was getting confusing , as there seemed to be 2 stories and she Suggested I write a “ Day by Day “ type post, So all can be read in whole instead of parts !!!

    I do have a reply on one commenter , about “Doing anything I can to keep him.”

    I have Photo's and Voice / picture/video's and Texts from and of him. With the dates and times on the “evidence”....If I wanted to break up his marriage or make her leave him. I could !!!

    I have many things that could prove his “Emotional cheating “ and they would make any one of us women, and many men if this was reversed, decide that their mate was in love with someone else. But I cannot do that to him. It would hurt him and in the long run he would not love or respect me for forcing something on him.

    To the one who said the OP (me ) doesn't want to end the relationship. You are 100% correct. I don't want to end it, I just want to put it in it's proper place for this time. In it's proper mode for what is going on. I do NOT want to destroy or force anything on him.
    I do NOT ever see myself without him in my life somehow , whether it be a friend, lover, companion, mentor. It matters now, what role he is going to be for the next few months or next year.

    ****

    I can and will support him in any decision he makes. I have never asked him to be with me over his wife, I WILL after the 28th/29th meeting.... Try to do my best to decide what part of his life and my wanting to keep him in my life ( him being Happy & Healthy # 1, )

    Because Lost ,stressed or dead loves only make you regret the love you share d and tarnish you to any new relationships that may have another type of love in them.

    I call it 4 Seasons of Love.

      It is good to see the entire story in one post. IMHO you are not being discreet enough to keep this secret forever. Therefore you should discuss whether you want it to come out at a random time or if there is some way to bring it up with his wife, hopefully to get her blessing and set boundaries as well as obligations. A tough situation. I think he truly loves both of you, but not in the same way and his love for his wife is deeper than friendship or for a relative.

        Bringing thread up, to see if we can gain opinions for you..

        But, it does seem that he instigated the whole thing, as something was missing in his life and he did the first "kiss".

        I hope that whilst your away you ask him, what would happen if his wife found out, how would he react towards you, would he be there for you? Or, would he end it... and never speak to you again.

        You owe yourself that much, to know a part of the 4 seasons, in a different light, the beginning/first meet, the courtship, the middle and the ending...

          Thanks for your input. I really haven't decided what to talk to him about during the time we will have together. I'm both excited and afraid. We have never spent more than 3 hours together (in person) in this past year.

          I'm excited to be able to spend more time, in a place no one knows us or could know us. Excited that maybe with the pressure of him not having to run home & act like he was just out doing the normal shopping for the house that he does every weekend, that he may relax and possibly “seal the deal”.

          We are both very curious as to how that would feel, Though I know there are severe risks in Sealing the Deal.

          The risk of “ Dayum, that was a bomb” or maybe either or both of us wanting more. The relationship could either strengthen or fizzle. For either or both of us is the chance we are taking, if the copulation is actually fulfilled.

          Then again if it fails , as it has the times we have tried, will he feel worse or even more inadequate ?

          I would be disappointed if he failed again, when I know he has no pressure of going home, acting normal in front of his wife. As when he goes home this time , she won't be there. I would also suspect even more that he has ED, and maybe that is why his wife isn't interested anymore & he sleeps on the couch.

          Maybe she got tired of trying with him ? Maybe she feels she isn't attractive or that it's her Menopause or Fibro ? She may feel his ED is due to her problems and just that they got in a “comfortable rut” that suits them both, ( until I came along).

          The “comfortable rut” meaning She stays home, does the wifey things, he is the bread winner. He says she is a good wife, keeps house clean, does the grocery shopping, pays bills with the household fund. He leaves her extra fun money for Nails and hair dresser and her personal shopping.
          *** Note** She does not have a bank or credit card or on his checking acct. due to her past financial troubles. He writes all checks and she mails them . Household and her personal funds are in Cash and is limited to an Allowance. He has already spent closet to $50 Thousand in the “rescue” since they have been married.***

          So Yes... those things are on my mind. What will happen ? He wanted to meet yesterday to feed the Ducks ( as we call it on my Sundays) I begged off and felt very guilty about it. It was raining and he had a cold last week and I told him it wasn't worth him going out in the rain for an 45 minute meet.

          He goes out every Sunday anyway for the meat market and the base supplies that only he can get by being the Military Personnel of his household.

          So he sent a text of a “ Big Pout, but I agree. We have to save our health for next Saturday”.

          Low and Behold, he show's up at my work an hour later. Asks to see if we have some extra cases of oil for his trucks in the stockroom. ( We always act as if he is just a Customer) I take him back there and he gives m a very short kiss but sweet and says “ I miss ya Baby G, Just had to see you Today. Gave me that ever so sexy lil boy grin and a ” Going home, Txt ya Later”.



          Still Hoping One other person besides the two Mods that have followed this, can give some input ? Nothing against the “Mods” just that the thread may be too long to read, being 5 pages now. ?


          CW, if you can , you may take the full “Story” and re~post, I will not be offended. You have tried to take this ( up ) for discussion, but I think others get lost reading the beginning page to this one now ?
          Thanks to all that read and feel.

          *TM*

          I feel what I Read & Read what you Write . It is the Same. It only takes a minute to get lost in a ( fill in ).

            Well I'm another mod but I'll pitch in my two cents worth. You don't really know what his home situation is. They are always "misunderstood", not getting what they need, the wife has health issues, separate rooms.... This is standard. Bottom line is you have no way of knowing. You are playing with fire and are locking yourself out of any possibility of meeting a man who is actually available.
            He's been married only a short time for there to be so many problems and that would be a red flag to me.

              Thanks WC , But now I am confused . You say that the reasons/excuses he gives about his homelife is "Standard" ?

              Are you saying that if a man or woman cheats or wants to cheat, that they are happy at home ? That things are going well ? That they just cheat because ?

              I guess I'm trying to understand why, if everything is good at home and they are happy, why would anyone risk losing that security in their marriage for a relationship that isn't all about sex ?

              As for me" locking myself out of any possibility of meeting available men"
              I meet available men every day, nice guys, have been asked out many times. It is flattering but the interest in one on one with them is zilch.

              I have gone on Group Dates with some of my customers, like to BBQ's, parties and such. I have a good time, but their smile is not "Johns" their laughter is not his, their Goodnight hug or kiss is not His.

              I don't know why he has this hold on my heart ?

                Thats just what CW is talking about "locking yourself out" no one is as good as "John". As long as you believe that, you are locking yourself out from being available to other relationships. You need to open up to other possibilities, but as long as your stuck on "John", someone you can't have so to speak, your a closed mind and spirit.

                  So PurpleHaze, Seriously asking here...

                  How do you recommend I unlock this ? I already go out with male friends, to group activities, parties, BBQ's sometimes to the Casino here to see a show or play slots . I like and enjoy these friends, I just have no deeper feelings, no tingle, no flip Flop Heart Flutters.



                  It took me these past few years after my hubby left to even think of seeing another man. Or think of learning to love again, even learning to love in a deep bonding friendship. Even, say that john passed away, for some reason ( at this time) It would take me years to even try, just as it did with hubby.



                  I have never been promiscuous , have only had 5 " Serious" relationships, 2 have passed away, 1 I divorced, 1 ( hubby) is Missing in action and now "John".



                  So I do not seem to" Fall in love " easily. I have many Friends, Male and Female, most are considered "extended or adopted" family after knowing them a year or more and learning to trust them in my life. I can and do go to functions as a " date", danced, gone to movies, had dinner and been driven home or picked up to go the these functions, alone with these men friends. Most of them turn out to be like " brothers". Men that know they can trust me and I trust them.



                  Though a couple of times if we, my date and I, attempted a goodnight kiss, we both would end up saying " No Spark huh "?

                  And then remain " Bro & Sis" or Close Friends.



                  When "john" and I kissed there wasn't any " Spark" the first times. It was only after a few meetings and our talks and walks in the woods, that it , I dunno, grew to be more than just a passing kiss between friends kiss.

                  This relationship is based on the deepest of friendships. If he said tomorrow. that we could only be friends, I could and would accept and respect that. And if I said it, he would do the same.



                  We have tried, as I posted before, to " break this off " so to speak, neither of us seem to be able to. We don't have to see each other, but we have to keep in contact, by txt at least. or we both seem to not feel "whole".



                  To give a Scenario here, I know many women and men in the Military, where their other half is stationed overseas, They cannot hold and kiss each other, make love, some cannot even txt each other, others have that luxury... And they Hold on, they are "locked" in the love they have for each other.



                  So I ask again, how do you and others suggest I unlock a heart that was unlocked by this man ?

                    Women in most cases form attachments faster than men. But not comparing men and women here, the bottom line is, you have formed this attachment. You said it yourself, "there was no spark the first times" of kissing, so are the others before and so are the others after him. You are limiting yourself.

                    We have tried, as I posted before, to " break this off " so to speak, neither of us seem to be able to. We don't have to see each other, but we have to keep in contact, by txt at least. or we both seem to not feel "whole".



                    Why should you depend on him to tell you to only be friends? Why do you let him decide for your? I read in one of your posts that you do not want to break it off, etc...why this question in your heart then?

                    It seems to me that for every question or doubt or bump that you have at hand, you always come to the point of reassuring yourself, or rationalizing that he is the only man for you, that he is the only one who can make you happy...

                    "
                    I have gone on Group Dates with some of my customers, like to BBQ's, parties and such. I have a good time, but their smile is not "Johns" their laughter is not his, their Goodnight hug or kiss is not His."

                    I will give you my honest opinion, which may be a little harsh, but keep it mind that I am doing this lovingly.

                    You are so in-love with him that even the rational part of your brain is getting clouded, your eyes blinded. All you can see is how good he is, how great it is to be with him. I can't argue with that (been there, done that). But sweet, if you don't stop this, you will be in the losing end. Don't you ever wish that this man whom you love so dearly would be yours to keep? To go home to you and sleep in your bed and *NOT share him with someone else?

                    Let's not even talk about the wife he is emotionally cheating on. Let's focus on you. How do you really feel about your current situation? Are you really happy and content with the your set-up?

And they Hold on, they are "locked" in the love they have for each other.


                    The military spouse is then very lucky to have a faithful and loving better-half, as not all people are NOT cut-out to be military spouses.

                    But the in reality, MAJORITY end up in divorce or dysfunction because of so many issues: spouse coming home with PTSD and other health problems, the other half not understanding/supportive of him/her, and a whole host of scenarios.


                    It's case-to-case. Glad you know some people who are "locked in love".

                    YOU CAN!

                    Lock your heart *off of him. Break it off, cut all communication. If you have to change numbers, then do so. If you have to find a new job or location, then so be it. You can do anything if you only believe and DO it.

                    I have posted this a lot of times, I have been in such situation. Yes, literally like yours. The only difference is that I was tricked - I didn't know he's married until I have completely invested my heart. The moment I learned about it, I bailed. When I was there, I thought I could never be able to love anyone ever again. I thought parting with him would be the end of my life. It was true - I died that day I broke it off.

                    But I prevailed. I stayed in my solitude as long as wanted. I avoided people and became aloof. I loved him, and I never knew how to recover. I was in a tunnel, so dark and desolate.

                    But all of those changed. I did not go out of my way looking for a man. I just met him - call it accident. But I did. Now, I am happily married to this wonderful man. Just when I thought I won't - I did.

                    You can do this, IF you want to. You decide.

                    If you are content with your current situation, if you are living in the present and are happy about it, then so be it. No point asking all these questions on your post. But since you are questioning, it means you are missing something. You are wanting something. What is it really?

                      Catepiller, Thanks, I read and re-read your post several times. Most of it make's me think in your "mind" so to speak and had me asking myself the same questions you did.

                      But.. One question really Popped out..


                      Why should you depend on him to tell you to only be friends? Why do you let him decide for your? I read in one of your posts that you do not want to break it off, etc...why this question in your heart then?



                      1) As I said " If " he wanted to just be friends, I would be ok with it.. I think that is my major issue here. I'm not sure I want this to go fully sexual and emotional. Emotionally I am very Happy with him, us, and how things are between us on the personal level,( excluding his wife and my worrying about her and what would happen with him getting caught).

                      I don't know if I want him in my Daily life,meaning in my bed,living in my home,or myself in his, as " Partners" in life.

                      I am curious and desirous of making love with him, but also feel it may change our relationship. May complicate it for us both. Either in the way that we might feel more destined to be together, or the slight chance of us deciding we are not " Compatible" in that way.

                      It is ME that has the doubt's of "more than the deepest of Friendship love" than he. But as I have said and that you noted, I DO NOT want to give him up, the love, the closeness the In Sync that we have right now. And as I have said I cannot imaging him NOT in my life at all.

                      Remember, we could have had a sexual affair all this time, if it weren't for the way we have bonded, if it weren't for friendship first and the way it has Bloomed. If it weren't for the Emotional bonding instead of Sexual attraction being what brought us to this point...

                      2) On the I can "Turn it/him off ", Move, change phone #'s change jobs ? That is so unrealistic in my case. Economically speaking. Even if I felt he wouldn't respect my wishes of friendship only..

                      I've been in my same home 8 plus years, my job Security in a Bad Economy, I am lucky to have a Job and I have two adult children that share this home, 1 working 3 years at same job, other in College. I am over 50, Secure and trully do not feel that even if I did what you suggested.. That it would change my Feelings/Love for him.

                      I know the things you say are your Heart and Experience speaking, as are mine. I don't feel you are Harsh.
                      I feel that you have " Been there , Done This" and did not have the forum or Resources that I have now in this forum.
                      I am sorry for your lost love and for your new love and Happiness. And I appreciate your advise and the others that have put up with my "story/ Posts / here "..

                      3) An extra point is this. If I Wanted him for my Own and wanted to " Make him Unhappy/ or Happy" I have the Power to do both.. I could have Long ago, when this first Started as a " Part time Mistress feeling" ..
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                      a) Said No to a Very Important part of my life. By saying NO to him as soon as I found out he was Married. Even though last June was just a Car Wash Kiss.

                      b) Not, talked generally and about cars or helping him and his Son, get the things they needed.

                      c) Not allow myself to have Male friends and just be ME. one of the "guys" as I am with many Customers that turn out to be " Family ".

                      D) I have Photo's, Emails, Txts that prove his Friendship, his meets with me, his Desire or Flirting, a few that are complaints or " Personal things about his wife's probs"

                      I could, if I wanted to Force this situation by sharing this info (Whole Story) to his Son ( Customer also ) I could call the home phone or Email the " Evidence" to the wife . I could ruin his Home life, stability in the neighborhood ..

                      *** But when you LOVE*** and been hurt to the Soul of You .. There is no need for " Revenge" or Pay back's.
