Haven't even lurked on this board yet. But have been looking for a board like this, and knew there had to be one out there. I have been involved with a married man for almost 2 months now. I am of course not going to get much support from most of my friends. But I guess that it is something that I am going to have to get used to. S and I met the end of November. I was involved in a long term relationship at the time, so never pursued anything. When my ex and I seperated in early Dec. S was the one that I went to. I thought it would be an easy rebound relationship. Since he was very up front with me about being married, and since we have such a wide age difference S is 40, I am 24. We started seeing one another on Fridays, every Friday. Sometimes he wouldn't even leave my house until after 1am. He swore up and down that the relationship with his wife was over and that he wasn't divorcing her because of his 14y/o daughter. I believe him. I have since fallen for him, but won't tell him. He says that he is in love with me. I just don't know anymore. I just thought I would swing by here and offer support, and maybe get some in return. A little advice whether indirectly or directly would be wonderful. I look forward to meeting you all.......

i am 28 and my mm is 42. we have been together 9 months and yup we have fallen, too, but we like it that way. no,he's not leaving the w for me, so we kinda take it as we go. i haven't dated yet but one day i will. the truth is for now i am happy with what we have. when i can no longer say that, than something will change. he's teaching me how i should be treated and i love it. he spoils me and we have a great thing going. yeah, your friends aren't going to be very supportive generally speaking. lucky for us, their opinions don't matter hehe.
