Y’all ain’t got nuthin to worry about, I’ll likely be on the rag that week. And don’t go telling me some guys don’t care about that, because I do. I refuse to do anything when it’s that time of the month. So no drinking plus Aunt Flo means I can stick with my convictions You can stop taking up a pool on the inevitability of my infidelity ---

I’m not so delusional as to think I would have a chance with him even if I was single, especially so since I’m married, have a c-section scar and stomach, and don’t own even one pair of pants with a button fly. I’m an old married woman with kids. He can do better, 😛 Wow. Just, wow. ---

So it’s okay if I ask if you are out of your fucking mind? He knows you will cheat on your husband because you already have with your sexting. But he won’t commit to you because, though you’ll be alone, you will really have three kids in tow. But he will use you as a handy cum receptacle because you will be there, but leaving soon. He may even rape you if you aren’t forthcoming. You don’t know him. You know some kid from high school and some guy you jerk off with. Omg, I DO NOT! We have not done that nor have we send any inappropriate pics to suggest that. :eek: ---

Who does he think about? Don’t ask him, because you’re in too deep already. And there are ways around Aunt Flo, especially if you’ve (singular “you”) been drinking. I think part of him is trying to get out of this honorably, but doesn’t want to hurt your feelings with a flat rejection. Part of him just likes the attention. And part of him wants to see how far you’ll go. ---

All kidding aside, it does sound like you are stacking up a bunch of temptations. Waving a red warning flag, too. ---

The husband being so “okay” with it is a real red flag too. It’s unusual enough that we must ask why. Some possibilities: - he’s happy she’s being distracted from noticing his own dalliances - he’s building a divorce case. - he’s into cuckolding - he’s a doormat I think April is counting on #4, what with the “devotion to the marriage” stuff. The problem with doormats, though, is they can’t be counted on to just lie there at your feet forever. ---

April, i would very seriously advise against going to see Guy Friend. You say how your husband and your marriage satisfies you, and then post that about half the time you are left frustrated. Rather than say you would never want to be with this guy, you say that he is out of your league and you would never even have a shot. You say that he is too hot to be single when you visit anyway, putting his availability as the deciding factor in whether you hook up. You seem to think his sister will be a buffer to keep you honest, overlooking the likelihood that she will be more inclined to help him in his happiness, rather than help you maintain your marriage. Seriously, read over your posts here, only imagine it’s your husband posting about how his wife doesn’t really satisfy him about half the time, and this hot chick wouldn’t go for him so his marriage is safe, etc. ---

You’ve never tee-hee’d in your life? Maybe not literally, but figuratively, every one of your “what me??” posts drips of it. Is this guy seriously your only friend in the world? Why exactly are you needing to visit him specifically for your mom-cation? As I see it, you aren’t getting enough attention. You like being the center of attention. You like it because it makes you feel young and attractive. Flirting with this guy validates you in a safe way because it’s virtual. But it’s not enough so you need to ramp it up. Ultimately it doesn’t matter. You have this all figured out and everything is going to be juuuust fine. ---

Well I told him we couldn’t talk anymore. I’m not telling y’all what he said because I already know what y’all would say about it. Momcation cancelled. Y’all saved my marriage.
