Ran into a college friend at a crossfit class. Both now in our early thirties, married, kid. During college we had strong mutual attraction for eachother but neither party did anything about it. We went and grabbed a quick bite afterwards at which point person gives me number. Now I can't stop thinking of said person and looking forward to the next class. Help me. |
Why wait. Call and arrange coffee/dinner/drinks before next class. Life is shorts, and you're not kids anymore. |
Do you need help because you are married ? |
Throw away the number and dont return to class. And say outloud to yourself in front of a mirror that what you do is a choice that you control. None of this "it just happened" crap or "you cant controll who you love" nonsense. |
Could have soulmate potential. Any chance you could arrange to be neighbors? |
If you walk this line there is a good chance you will cross it. Decide now; if you’re not willing to risk imploding your marriage/life, then steer clear of this friend. |
If you are willing to risk imploding your marriage/life, then ask your spouse for a hall pass to f this friend. See what happens. |
+1 slippery slope |
+1 you have to love your kids enough not to be so foolish |
+2 it’s not worth it OP. Think about the relationship you want with your kid in the future and if you’d prefer seeing them only half the week. Throw away the number and fantasize about it in the shower every once in awhile and then think about the life you created and little child who depends on you to feel safe/secure and feel good about your decision. Even if you could get away with it the guilt and lies will eat at you and your relationship. |
I can't tell you what to do but I can tell you if you keep down that road it will get messy. The reason why affairs are so addictive is because you will be having that thrilling, exciting, new relationship awesome sex that you aren't getting in a marriage. It's hard to walk away from. |
The next sound you will hear is a bomb going off destroying your marriage. If that’s what you want bombs away! |
When you cheat on your spouse, you cheat in your kids. |
How about you go to another crossfit class. You are fuelling the fire. You'll cheat on your spouse, blow up your marriage, hurt your kids, for what some fireworks. You sound so incredibly immature and selfish.

You are just feeling flattered. Look beyond it.
Plus, you have a severe case of the "could have- should have" |
