wow - u r so brave! 8 years already together. some thing is working for you for sure! i hope it gives u joy and happiness. u should give me some advice! he may be very satisfied and comfortable with you and seeing you when u r available might just be enough for him. maybe he learned that when he tried to move on to another woman. obviously he missed u. some Married partners can have an outside relationship for years and years and years. i guess it just depends on what one can tolerate,

I am also involved with a single guy fwb. It's very long term - 11 years. There were two times during that time that he started seeing someone else and he told me that if/when it got serious we would no longer see each other. In both cases it didn't work out, but I always have that over my head - that he may find someone - and I'm actually hoping that he does! We're getting to a stage where he might be someday growing old alone because of me - and that's awful!

oh thank you for your post. Its so nice to know someone else in the same situation as me. let me ask you one thing....how in the world did you handle him being with someone else? Did he just date these other women or did he get intimate as well?
