[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friendship with a mutual underlying attraction.  I don't want to give up the friendship but am attracted to two men simultaneously and married to only one of them.  I imagine that time will force the friendship to sever both ties, but I am trying to picture a world where I can have both as long as nothing becomes physical.  Like, is it ever ok to have a flirty friendship??[/quote]

I just posted about my pain due to loving another man besides my DH. My friendship with this man started off so innocently, but it's developed into something much deeper. It is really just causing me pain now. I don't think you can do both. Although, my situation may be different. My DH and I had been having problems for several years before these feelings for the other man developed. If you are happy in your marriage, then you may be okay and may be able to just keep it at friendship. But I'd stop the flirting. [/quote]

How long has your friendship lasted?  I think I'm going to keep the friendship non-flirty and see if it helps.  Did you two ever express your feelings to each other?  Text each other late night?  Talk about your marriage to each other?[/quote]

Friends for 2 years. Yes, we've expressed the feelings (never acted on them). Yes, we've texted late at night. No, we have never discussed marriage or even a long term relationship. But if I ended my marriage to DH, I do not see myself getting married again. [/quote]
