[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]H and I have had a very rocky relationship for several years. I adored him, he was ambivalent about me and just sort of went along with marriage and kids. He withdrew further after kids, had his one EA (I only know of one, would not be surprised if it had been more), basically was never really satisfied with just one woman and needed outside validation.

I gave up on having a real relationship and we coasted for a long time. I figured once the kids were grown I could bail. Then he hit 45, had sort of a reverse midlife crisis, went to therapy, and decided to re-devote himself to marriage and kids. He’s done a good job, especially with the kids, but relationship stuff has always been a challenge. He’s more affectionate and interested in me than he used to be, but honestly I think he just can’t feel that way about me because I’m not what he really wanted.

I met a man through work who does feel that way about me. He’s interested in me, he asks me questions about myself, he admires me for my work. Today we had a three hour conversation and it was so effortless. We text nonstop about everything. And it is so so SO nice to have someone who cares about what I have to say, rather than zoning out and then running off.

I know I should cut it off with work guy, but I also feel, H got to go have his fun. Why shouldn’t I? Why shouldn’t I enjoy attention from someone who is actually into me?[/quote]

The guy at work is a dirtbag, surely you know that.  Don't be a dirtbag yourself, OP.[/quote]
