We became work social-ish acquaintances (occasional lunches), then friends, then after about 4 years, emails turned to an intense emotional affair, which turned physical almost two years ago.
Both of us were what you might call ripe for affairs. We has tough home lives; his wife cut off all sexual contact after menopause, my husband lost sex drive and has big emotional and physical challenges. But neither of us was looking for an affair.
We weren't looking for it but it's impossible to imagine life without it at this point. Life without sex is soul crushing. I'd rather have to give up food and live on tasteless nutrition shakes than live without sex again.
Of course it's messy because you inevitably fall in love with the person who brings intimacy back to your life. But we're good at finding ways and times to be close. We're meeting later today in fact. Jumping out of my skin; it's been 9 days since the last time (had a couple of lunches though and talk every day) and that is far too long. Can't believe I made it years without intimacy before this.
I hate to say it but that is very sexy.

Did you think they happened as a coincidence. I would think that most guys that are open to an affair are actively looking for them. Married men are very aggressive when it comes to arranging an affair. They have a goal and they will reach the target no matter what it takes. They could teach a few of the single men on how to attract and go after a woman.
I don't think most people are necessarily looking for affairs. Some maybe. But for most people, their marriage and family life has become soul-sucking, for whatever reason, and then they meet this new interesting person who is in a similar situation. And suddenly, life is in color again.
I certainly didn't go out of my way to seek out an affair. But if you look at the big picture you can see and understand what was happening to me and my husband at that time and the years preceding it, and you wouldn't be surprised that I had an affair. It's an escape, a fantasy, a glorious mess.
And the person I had an affair with -- he was not seeking an affair either. Truly, he was not grooming me or attempting to seduce me. Definitely not aggressively pushing an affair on me. He probably put the brakes on more than I did.
What do you mean? Did he resist your attempts to go physical?

Who the crap are you talking about? Most married guys I know are too busy killing themselves at work to come complicate their lives with an affair.
Oh honey. You must not be very attractive.
Oh, it is the “oh honey” poster. Loser poster alert.

I do have my eye on somebody at work, but I think although the potential for complications is small (different divisions, equal in terms of level) it is probably a bad idea.

This is the worse idea. Don't pop where you eat. Why would you want his wife to confront you.
Heavens. I'd hate to pop, where I eat or anywhere else.
You are funny. Here's your other "o."
The phrase is "don't poop where you sleep". Where did you get "eat" from?
I have always heard eat and not sleep. Oh well, it means the same thing and both are equally as gross.

You might try Tinder too. You would be amazed at who you run into on there.
Stay out of the school crowd, it's too messy. Also, there are a few nice happy hour places are DC.
There are certain rules of engagement with a FWB, learn those and have fun.
