Good people of the forum I need your valued advice. I'm having a serious conflict of emotions and could use your experience and opinions. I've been with a long term partner who I thought I loved. We aren't married but were planning to do so in the next few years. However there is a problem........
I have been increasingly attracted to another woman who I work with. We have known each other for a while and I feel the friendship is growing into something else. There are many signs that this is mutual. What should I do as no matter how hard I fight it I can't get her out of my mind.
I've decided I should spend a little time with her to find out more. She too is in a long term relationship and she has told me is unhappy. We've been out for coffee and lunch and e-mailed loads. Although I seem to have to always initiate the contact. She always responds with positive comments. However recently she has kept her distance and has turned down two attempts to ask her out in the evening. Although in her last e-mail she states "I promise I will be free soon" This is driving me mad! My mind & energy are becoming drained. Is she uncertain, confused or simply playing me? All views on this would be much appreciated. Thanks
