A little self-respect may go a long way, no? I do have plenty of respect for myself or I wouldn’t be here asking for advice before I lose it entirely ok?! I would have no problem hanging out with his wife and kids or them me and mine. I genuinely did want to be friends with him and he me for months until things started getting a little blurry with how we interact with each other. When I say I love him. I do. Not like oh I wanna run away and get married or again even I don’t know romantically but I do love him. I spent months getting to know about his interests and siblings, likes and dislikes, we even have talked about our sex lives and previous relationships. I would feel this way about anyone that I had bonded to this way it doesn’t have to be romantic or sexual kind of love. I am upset and asking for advice because I don’t understand why he didn’t tell me and what that means because he didn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a really bad decision to have an affair at all, let alone with someone with zero morals like this guy. His poor wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have feelings for you, he wants a piece of tail, then go back to his real family. And when the wife gets upset, to call you the "crazy girl that made me do it". And imagine how great he'll be to you if this is found out and he loses his job- it's unethical for doctor to flirt/be suggestive to patients. Depending on where he works, he could even lose his license to practice medicine. You want to feel good about yourself. You want to believe you love him. What you have isn't love, it's infatuation. You are imagining him to be someone he isn't. This man is NOT Prince Charming. I know rom-coms often make it seem like a "fun" scenario to be caught between two people. The reality is a lot more ugly with a lot more people getting hurt and lives getting damaged. And that's without adding anything really ugly into the mix like a restraining order, the wife stalking you, the wife finding out and telling your husband, your husband divorcing you, your kids hating you, and lots of other "fun" things that can happen here. NO. You cannot be his friend. You aren't friends, you just want to cheat on your spouses together. That's not a friendship, that's a booty call. There's ONE way you can be together- Tell you husband you're divorcing him because you want to see other people and tell this man that you want him to divorce his brand new wife so the two of you can be together and deal with the massive fallout. But I'm betting he will just run for the hills and find a new woman to use as his toy. Great man that he is. OP, I hope for both your family's sake that you WAKE UP. If you don't love your husband anymore, then get divorced and find someone single to date. I think most of that was pretty good advice. Thanks! Can I just add that both my kids are in college and my husband and I don’t sleep in the same room. He actually stays in the apartment off our house. We are technically for all purposes separated until we get our settlement. I am not trying to really date him either since i just found out he is married. I do love him like I would anyone I had made a connection like that with but it isn’t necessarily sexual or romantic. We do have a lot of chemistry between us but I think maybe it’s better left unexplored and I don’t intend to see him again. Not because I think he is a dog or pig cause I do still deeply care about him but because I think he maybe has not so friendly feelings for me and I know there is something there for me too and it just seems like it will go nowhere but way south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right and it’s prolly really naive of me to think like I was special or he just liked me. Ugh I feel so stupid because he was so convincing. I didn’t give in for like months and then finally he started hugging me all the time and it felt right and comfortable but I guess maybe that’s how you should feel with a doctor.

Remove his contact info from your devices and mark his messages as spam.

HLDrago Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 6 hours ago, Wiseman2 said: That is not how I read it. "Maybe I'll see you at the gym" is not asking for an affair. I stand by my statement about this being a romance novel fantasy. Not some married "pig" running after a former patient. She is assuming he wants an affair because she didn't know about his private life and that he's "bored". How probable is it that a newlywed chiropractor is bored and chasing someone he was required to treat? He PROMISED to meet me not I will maybe see you there. While he is hugging me he is literally telling me he will see me later on. We go to the same gym because he told me to go to that gym for a certain machine for my back so I didn’t even know it was his gym til I saw him there one night. Omg as I am typing this I realize what a stupid stupid stupid idiot I am. He like really never liked me at all did he?! Is he really just trying to hook up with me?!

You’ll see me really soon I promise.” This is after we had made plans and a time to go to the gym that night. I had car trouble he got jealous because I called my soon to be ex husband which is why I initially came here for advice because this changed the game between the boundary or friends and something else.

You to the OP Just because you are trying to spin your own narrative here, doesnt erase that you accused her of an insurance freud and how she wants to get with the doctor because of the settlement. You can try to spin your words as much as you can, but you did. Again, not very wise of you, Wiseman... Yes, because no married man in the history was seen chasing a hot woman around for sex. And doctors to patients? That is unheard of. Right? 🤣 I was gona let this go with the laugh, but you wont so I wont too. So again, you accused her of something because in your narrative she is some delusional woman that wants to commit an insurance freud. By sleeping with her chiropractor. You also accused me of accusing chiropractor to some crime. Even though I didnt see the crime there. He is a pig because he is a pig. Married guy chasing around patients, whispering into their ears and meeting them outside the work. Pig behavior. Deal with it. I just wonder why you are so adamant of this? I know I am stubborn sometimes so yes, if we have to write we will write until tomorrow. But you? I dunno why you have to invent your own narrative. When she hasnt even mentioned that she needs him for court or anything. Its evident she has a big crush on a guy and that is about it. For all we know she just needed chiropractor. But hey, as long as you can spin it in your head and then try to get out how you dont accuse anyone of crime, right? Thank you! Neither of us really did anything too wrong but gray line the situation and maybe blur the lines a little. I am not some fraudster and neither is he. We are just 2 really hot people that worked closely together for many months and developed a real connection at least i thought. The not telling me about his wife maybe is his right but then maybe he should tell is wife about how he hugs or holds me and what he says to me or that he has in fact met up with me at the gym even while I was still a patient. The verdict is still out for me whether he is a pig or not. And I didn’t lie about being married technically he didn’t either we just didn’t tell each other. I was pretty honest about it I just left out the part that we are still really good friends and hang out all the time. He just left out he was married at all. He still hasn’t told me I just found out from his other co worker who I am also just FRIENDS with which is why I thought him and I had maybe a future friendship or something too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have him on a pedal stool and not really taking a minute to step back and see the whole picture. He is a hot guy and I am a hot girl. He wanted my attention and got it so I think that’s why he didn’t tell me. Which I am not mad about that. I think I am probably likely upset because he didn’t care enough about me to tell me and treated me like I would be some side thing instead of a friend. 40 minutes ago, HLDrago said: You’re actually really on point. We aren’t anything anymore. After reading all this I don’t think we are friends he just wanted some attention because he was bored. I just fell for him and I wish I hadn’t been sorta childish and stupid about it because I think it was all a game I didn’t know I was playing lol.

Confusion usually happens when things aren’t aligned or at ease, issues conflict with who you are or what you want. Listen to your instincts. You do not have to call or think of someone as a pig or dog. Calling someone you care about or have spent time with all kinds of names ends up hurting you in the end. It’s spending way too much energy in a negative way and letting it affect you similarly. You both obviously share some chemistry but you’re second guessing acting further on it. Whenever you feel confused go back to the big picture and ask yourself where you’re going. Does this thing or situation or person fit where you’d like to be? It may have worked in a different lifetime under different circumstances but right now this is what you have so figure out whether it works for you or it doesn’t. Someone with a proven record of low integrity overall isn’t necessarily someone who may step up for you or remain on the same page. He can change and behind your back too. Is this worth a so-called “friendship” or do you have better things to do? It sounds like you’ve more or less decided not to pursue this but like the idea of knowing someone has a crush on you. And that’s fine. Nothing else needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
