OK, I met this woman on line who wanted to "connect" with me. I won't get into specifics about what site etc. but we all had photos of ourselves and personal info about hobbies etc. She is married and I am married and there was some innocent flirting on line that was fun. After a lot of her teasing and because she lives close I finally agreed to meet her at a restaurant for lunch just to see if she was for real. I was extremely nervous and so was she but we were kind of like on line buddies. So we meet and have drinks to calm our nerves and hit it off very well. She was fun to be around. Immediately after lunch she says to take her someplace where she will show me that everything she was saying on line in her flirting sessions was for real. I tell her that I am happily married and I just was curious about her and do not want to put my marriage at risk and my wife is OK with "friends" but that's it. She says she is happily married and she has an understanding with her husband and she just wants to have sex with me with no other strings attached. Against all natural urging I refuse her and do not give her my phone number but she gives me hers and says "when you are man enough call me."

We continue to meet on line and chat and she sends me daily emails and says she wants to get together again and have sex as often as possible. I tell her no but one more time cave into another meeting where she gets in my car and starts touching and making it almost impossible to say no. But I again say it's time to go. Clearly there is chemistry with both of us but I don't want to go beyond the flirting stage.

So, she ups the ante. She goes off and meets a very young soccer player on line and meets up with him and has sex with him. She gets with me on chat and tells me all about it and says "see, I was willing to spread my legs for you and you walked away from it and I wanted it bad so I went out and found it". She further tells me "if you want to get any of me in the future you will have to now fight for me and earn it." She was pissed off at me for turning her down and wanted to get even and make me jealous.

I ended up telling her to go take a hike on the sex but really liked the friendship and openness and we are still fond of each other and stay in touch. She keeps sending me e-mail teasing me and taunting me to "come get some when I am man enough to handle it". She continues to tell me that because I am not there she now routinely sees this guy just for no-strings attached, non-relational, pure physical sexual satisfaction. But I know she is trying to get me jealous and taunts me by saying "you could have had this if you just took it so come and take it back, I'm waiting..."

So, what would you do in this situation?

Thats heavy, If you love your wife and don't ever want to take the chance of cheating on her i woul djust blow your online friend off completly



Posted by: BritChick

You say you are happily married, if so you need to smarten up, you are playing a very dangerous game!
She also sounds like a complete bitch who gets off on headgames! (No I didn't mean those kind!!! )



Posted by: cappo5150

If you are happily married and have no intentions of ever hooking up with this online chick, then kick her to the curb. Youre just torturing yourself.



Posted by: greekblondechic

That is like carrying a box of chocolates around. If you don't want to give in to temptation don't keep it in your face.



Posted by: Du

Get rid of the online girl. If you dont, youll fall in a moment of weakness. IMO, its not worth ruining a great relationship that I assume you have with your wife.



Posted by: MaxMirkin

I say forget the bitch. You don't need that kind of shit in your life. The internet is a wasteland of illusion, and some of these women....

Stick to the real world.



Posted by: Cold Iron

Yeah, you've got the real deal at home. If you love your wife and are happily married, why jeopardize it for a piece of ass? Youre relationship is tried and true, who really knows what this girl is like in the long run. I mean, if I wanted to, I could come off as the niciest guy on the face of the earth...but I wouldnt be able to keep it up forever and eventually my true colours would come out.

These temptations are going to be around for the rest of your life and if youre one to succumb to these things easily, maybe married life isn't for you.

Make a decision and stick with it. It wouldn't be fair to nail this chick behind your wife's back, obviously.

OD

I think this woman has got some ISSUSES
I definetly wouldn't,if she is sending you daily emails and all and meeting up with guys just to bone,while she is married......in my opinion,this woman has got some problems and needs some help,I think deep down....she has no self worth.



Posted by: Randy

I would have to agree with the Britchick...

This girl you met sounds like a total skank loser. Why would you be risking your marriage to begin with? If you think your marriage is going down hill, I would first seek every effort to save it before moving to such desperate measures to risk it...

Man You dissapoint me OD... I thought you were much wiser than this

Randy,
yeah me to. Must be a combination of hormones, curiosity and the need for adventure. I "know" better but my curiosity and sense of adventure are strong forces to deal with - not to mention that this woman is pretty good looking and is unlike any person I have ever met before and intriguing to talk to. We had started innocently enough and become friends before she started all the intimacy talk. For me that's a combination and sequence of events that is hard to ignore and walk away from. I think we all have weaknesses and under certain situations it can become like a trap that is almost impossible to break away from. The other problem I am dealing with is that I love a challenge and like to push myself to the limit in most anything I do. It's in my psyche to see how far I can step into this trap without caving in. The thing I was forgetting is that it's not just me that is at risk - it's my wife too since she is a big part of me. So now I got to step back on this.

ideally you never would have gone to met her but since you have....if you do value your marriage and family i'd stop all contact - online and off.



Posted by: nikegurl

as for liking challenges (believe me, i can relate) you can use that to your advantage to remove yourself from the mess too. the online woman isn't really a challenge at this point - she's made it clear she wants to sleep with you. so the challenge would be in not getting caught. but that thrill wears off really fast while the damage done would probably be lasting.

convince yourself that the real challenge would be walking away at this point.

NG that's precisely how i am dealing with this now and we think very similarly about how to self motivate. You are right, the bigger challenge for me now is to turn my back on an incredibly powerful temptation and once again take the path of maximum resistance and walk away from it poised and in control. Hopefully getting to this level of an emotional and physical "maximum" will make me much more wise and understanding of my personal capacities (frankly I am pleased and amazed that I had the strength to not cave in) and not compel me to push it to an even higher plateau and a breaking point in the future.

Thanks!

Yes and no. I intimated I was going to see a friend but I did not disclose the nature of the friendship. Yes, technically speaking it probably was cheating in my own book but I think I backed out of it OK before it was consummated to the point of irreconcilable regret and permanent damage.

Good job OD, my respect in you has now been restored

Like everyone has said here, temptations of meeting new women will always be there it is what makes us human. Acting on them though while happily married turns from a challenge to a terrible mistake that you will regret and will hover around in your mind much longer than the short pleasure you would have with this girl. As you say the real challenge is walking away... Nice decision OD

Now for me, just the fact that she flaunted this story about having sex with the soccer guy to you would have turned me off instantly... I surely, no matter how much I was attracted to her wouldn't have even considered having sex with her after that.

I don't know your wife, but I'm willing to bet she would be very upset about what you did.



Posted by: ALBOB

Well, I obviously don't know this woman and the information I have to base my opinion of her is EXTREMELY limited. Having said that, and at the risk of being cliche, she's nothing but a two bit slut. Don't risk your marriage over something like that.












But you already knew that.

I would actually question whether you truly are happy in you marriage. I think if you look deep down inside you might not find the answer you expected.



Posted by: cappo5150

Hopefully your wife will not read this thread.



Posted by: Archangel

It is human to be tempted, it takes a real MAN to walk away and preserve the sanctity of marriage!!! My whole thought on the "cheating" thing is simple : How would you feel if your wife was doing what you are/almost did? I Always think about that if I am ever tempted. I try to make it a rule to never do anything behind my wifes back, that I would not do with her right beside me!!! Just my 2 cents. Good luck!!!

I remember seeing that on a talk show, I think Dr. Phil, he said to the guy "if your wife were looking over your shoulder would you have felt comfortable typing that email to her"? Basically this guy was saying that what he was doing online was not cheating, it was innocent emails, etc., after he was asked that question he gained a new perspective on things.

Don't listen to any of this BS.. They are all just trying to brain wash you...

NT, after 10 years I still can't quite figure her out actually. On one hand she is the coolest person on the planet but on the other she has a subtle way of expressing her discomfort about "unauthorized" flirting in a positive way that is unique to her and completely disarming.

For example, before I got back into body building two years ago from a previously over weight state she demanded that I get back my "Calvin Klein" look that I had when we were first married. I won't be specific but she offered an "authorized", limited and discrete "extracurricular" incentive (subject to her full knowledge and final approval) if I achieved that. I suppose she was desperate about my condition but it got my attention that she was very serious. Actually, this personal little contest turned out to be more of a humorous thing for us during the 8 months it took me to get there and I would never let her forget it after each of my weekly status reports and weigh ins showed rapid progress. Of course when I got to the goal (52 lbs of fat loss and 16 lbs of muscle gain) I looked like a different person. When I half heartedly went to demand a collection on our deal she of course had no recollection of that conversation or agreement and said that was for some fat guy who use to live in the house and was masquerading as me. Then at times when she is too busy and I want us to go out or do something fun she will nonchalantly tell me to just go out by myself, meet a cute girl friend, have some fun, and come home. But the few times I call her bluff on that I get the old cell phone call about 11:00 or so saying "are you staying out of trouble or are you having fun yet?" I think she knows when it came right down to anything I tend to just like to people watch and if tempted would never really go past the flirting stage. So she seems to give me a lot of free reign and acts remarkably casual about things so I honestly don't know but don' really have a desire to push it too much (except in this one case where I probably pushed the envelope and broke the trust).

But you make a good point because in defiance to her remarkable outwardly mild demeanor I fear that she tends toward the Italian and passionate side of her family ancestry (I certainly know this to be true in a more enjoyable context ). So far I have yet to see this side of her come out in a hostile way but if she were agitated on an important "core" issue no doubt, in the Italian tradition she would likely fling every pot, pan and lose item in the house at me and then go toe to toe with physical blows. On a good day she could very possibly kick my butt (she is extremely athletic and physically stronger than many men 10 years younger than her). But then again, she actually seems to enjoy it when we both dress up and go out clubbing or dining when other couples take note of us or strike up conversations. We both take it as a compliment for each other when either of us gets the attention of others and never get jealous about it. In fact we are also best friends and she will often later tell me with a smile "hey handsome, that nice woman at the bar seemed to like you and so do I" (which is usually a prelude to romance). So I think it's a different kind of situation for us than most couples since we are confident and secure with each other and really do not think it possible one would go all the way with somone else. She knows I don't care if she flirts but she chooses not to. And she gets amused when I do or I tell her half jokingly that there is a hot woman at the club I want to meet and just laughs it off or says "go for it baby". That's the nice thing - we are best friends too. So far we have not broken "the code" and I doubt we really ever will.

But as you suggest I really am not wanting to test that theory...

OD, you are playing with fire and will get burned.

The Bible tells us that temptation will come along and you can't stop that. But you should flee from it before it overcomes you.

Sin is like a bird flying over your head, you can't stop it. But you can stop the bird from making a nest on your head.

Sin starts off as a thought, then progresses into a fantasy, then we try to make it a reality without getting caught. You have taken step 1 and 2 and almost 3.

If you keep setting up meetings you WILL FAIL my friend. Don't try to think you are superman and can overcome this temptation. Be like Joseph and flee the temptation before it is too late.

Save you marriage before it is too late and break off all contact with this woman immediately.

You already know this (but remind yourself as needed ) A single act of infidelity/betrayal can destroy ALL of the casualness, security and confidence in the blink of an eye.

Could not agree more!!! Please OD, re-read my previous post!!! It's not worth it!!!

I don't know many guys that can walk away from a situation like that. OD, you definately have a massive challenge on your hands. Do you think you can really do it?



Posted by: Randy

Again...I see no challenge there myself, just TEMPTATION

The fruits of temptation hanging in the balance of his marriage...



Posted by: milliman

ps OD,

After listening to some of the comments above, from Christians and non christians, look what the following says:

Proverbs 3:3-4

Let love and faithfullness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

In verse 4, even the non believers will hold you in higher esteem for keeping your faithfullness to your wife and family.

Randy, you dog...

I think what is troubling me more about this situation is not the cheat/no-cheat debate but the discovery that it seems there is getting to be more and more women like this out there. For a conservative guy this is causing me tremendous anxiety since it changes my complete perspective on what I thought was the norm for this country. In a sense it did me good to get out of the comfort zone of my marriage and see what was going on and what single guys are facing daily. I tell you what bro, based on this experience I would hate to be a single guy trying to find a wholesome and descent woman in today's world. It's got to be hell out there and very degrading to put up with this kind of situation if its anything close to the current norm.

Given a commitment I am not sure that happiness is a relevant issue since there are no guarantees and external factors beyond our control are always in play. Clearly happiness is desirable but I would not willfully abandon a commitment simply because I had a temporary period of unhappiness. Deep down I am committed and am happy with the honor in that. But that does not mean I still do not derive meaning and purpose in exploration, adventure and discovery. I admit it could all be a rationalization but the fact is I do not believe that I would fully turn my back on a commitment no matter the temptation. Though it would be wiser to avoid needless temptation as many suggest.

Melissa, yes I can and have done it. I walked away and am ready to delete her e-mail address and cell phone number as we speak. I will then set up my spam filter to reject her incoming mail so I never get a chance to see it and cave into it. She has no personal info about me at all except for one of my less used e-mail accounts which would be impossible for all but an expert to trace to me personally. I only made one single mistake. I let her know about a new and vacant luxury condo I own on the riverfront that she wanted us to go to after that first meeting and she knows both me and my wife's first name. If she is smart enough to look up the public record and find the only owners there with that same pair of first names I am potentially subject to being in a extortion/stalker scenario. Her personality and need to win and dominate make this scenario a real possibility and it could yet prove to be very very bad for me. But I have a back up plan if this were to happen. I know who she works for and could have her fired with a single phone call since I know she leaves work all the time for extended lunch breaks to meet people and claims she was on the job doing government work (time card fraud is a federal crime when working for the gov). Fortunately she lives on the other side of the county and does not frequent any of the places I routinely go to. Shutting down that situation fast...

proud of you by the way (for stopping)



Posted by: I Are Baboon

Example #4,376 of why "innocent online flirting" should be avoided. OD, I'd like to know how your wife would feel if she found about this online flirting and the fact that you had this casual, innocent meeting with her. If you are so committed to your wife, why secretly meet this woman in the first place (I am assuming it was secret). I think the "I am a curious person" excuse is totally lame.

I give you two thumbs down for getting involved in this in the first place.



Posted by: OceanDude

IAB actually I meet married and single woman all the time in my profession and often take them to lunch at the yacht club etc. as clients. It's the nature of my job to get very close relationally and develop trust relationships because when one routinely deals with $1,000,000 plus sales real estate contracts nothing will happen if they do not like you and trust you on a personal basis. Product is nothing - relationships are king. And yes at times that means I have to flirt and go to private parties and be seen with them in public and act like they are special or pretend that they have some kind of unique privileges in front of their girlfriends or husbands etc. It's the nature of this kind of client with a lot of assets to have large egos and expect a lot of attention. So it's not unusual for me to be with other women and my wife trusts me and does not expect me to have to tell her all the details. She knows that on occasion these kind of women can get pretty forward and she knows I can handle myself professionally.

I did go ahead and tell her about this situation last night but did not give all the Gorey details. She was a bit annoyed but said: "Be cool about it OK?" and "If if it gets to be more than just a curious fling I am going to speak to her personally about it". I won't tell you what she said after that but I got reeled in pretty hard for a while. She got back to being herself though with a humorous comment: "hey, you disappointed me, you seem to have lowered your standards - at least go after something with more class if you are going to cash out half your estate for an easy thrill".

Hey, BTW, how many thumbs down do I get before I am in serious trouble around here? Can I get one turned back upright for telling her?

OD
