Thanks a lot for the reply but since then, he's been calling me more often asking if am seeing someone else and telling me how much he loves and misses me. Does that mean he really do love me cos i can't understand why he seems to care that much.

Dazzerg agony auntI would tend to agree with the consensus. If I said that it would mean all you could hope for realistically was friendship and sex if sex was wanted. I wouldn't go as far as to say this guy is necessarily using you but he has just made it pretty plain that he never intends to leave his wife for you and have a proper relationship with you.

What you do with this is up to you but I would try and kill any hopes that you will ever be together properly.

Why are you hanging around like a lost puppy???? there are plenty more blokes out there and this one is clearly not worth wasting another moment of your time. Put it down to experience and move on and find someone that you so rightly deserve and don't settle for second best.

Take care

This man is using you, BIG TIME. Love and affection, that's a good one. Is that another term for sex and giving affection during intercourse?

He's married, leave him alone. He also employed you? By knowing all this, why do you even bother? Is he trying to get himself in deep shyt? Come on girl, don't be so naive.

kenny agony auntOk so you dated this guy in college, you shared time together and no doubt have some good memories. Water has gone under the bridge since then and he has got married, which effectivly make's him unavailable.

I woulden't do dwelling on what he has said, or not said considering his present situation.

I would forget about him now and find someone whos not attached.

Good luck x
