What should I do?

I used to work with a guy who I became really good friends with. He was single, lived alone. I was married and going through a hard time with my husband. I confided in him with things that I probably shouldn't have, and maybe gave him the wrong impression. I discovered later that he wanted more than a friendship with me, so I slowly stopped talking to him. I cared about him as a friend, but because I was married, the relationship could never go any further than friends. Because I was well aware that he wanted more, I thought that breaking it off all together was the best thing to do.

It's been about 6 months since I last spoke to him. He used to work around the corner from me, and I would see him driving. Lately I haven't seen him, and he no longer lives at the same address. I still have his cell #, but I don't know if I should call him. I'm worried and I need to know if he is ok, but I am afraid of starting another "friendship" with him. Any suggestions?

    I think you should let go. Best for all concerned. No need to bring up old feelings and confusions. You both have lives to live and it seems best they need to be lived without each other's friendship.

    If you still like him as a friend, then I would call him and tell him that you're making sure he's okay. Make sure that he understands that you do care about him, but only as far as a friend. If he didn't know you were married, I'd tell him. If he did know, then he should have already known that it wouldn't go farther than that. But, if he truly was a friend, then you should probably let him know that.

    Let it go. If you're married, stop pursuing friendships with other men. It's not appropriate. If you still have doubts, tell your husband the whole story and ask him if you should call this other man. You don't "need" to know if he's ok.

    Delete the phone number.

    He is fine.

    There is no reason to call as it just might lead him on and he get the wrong idea

  • I'm am sure he is fine and has found himself a GF......U should be more concerned about making your marriage work and not find ways to break it.

    baby girl, don't call him. when he calls you, you need to make it clear as you are to us. last thing you want is to give him another false impression.

    Don't call him....He is fine. It's been six months. Let him move on.

    If he stills has feelings for you, you will confuse him. Let it and him go.

    Dont lead him on. I think you shouldnt call him at all if you care about him.
