Can my friendship with him survive? He helped me see that sex can be about love after childhood abuse.

A female age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I am 22 years old and when I was 9, I was sexually abused. It took me 13 and a half years to mention it to a very good friend of mine. He is in his late fifties and married with 2 kids in their twenties. We've been meeting up in secret and we've been doing sexual things with each other. We had full sex about 3 weeks ago. He wanted to show me what it was really like. He wanted me to have it out of love and not out of hate. If it wasn't for him, I think that I would be a total wreck. I know that He loves me as a friend and I know that He can't commit. I'm confused about how I'm feeling. Can this friendship survive?
