I'd like to preface my message by stating I am happily married......but

A few years ago I was debating on a message board. Another poster and I formed an immediate connection. Admittedly we have flirted online and off. There is an obvious physical and mental connection. Coincidentally, we later discovered we both worked for the same company.....a huge corporation. He lives approximately 500 miles away. We met briefly during a work related conference. Although the connection in person was strong, we did not know each other that well, so therefore it was difficult to pick up on any signals.

Neither of us has the desire to change our current relationship. He has a girlfriend and I'm married. This week we will be seeing each other in her person for the first time in 4-1/2 years. The encounter will be brief, perhaps lasting no longer than 1 hour.....and it will be in a public place.....but not work related.

And please don't get off topic by stating neither of us are happy in our current relationships....because we are. And neither of us would do anything to jeopardize the lives we have.

My green light is on when it comes to simply kissing him. How do I know whether or not his green light is on?

No offense but whether or not your happy in your current relationship makes no difference, cheating is cheating. Either way I think your both being selfish here, reverse this and think how you would feel if your husband was carrying on with a woman online and said he is ready to kiss her…

I understand the excitement and thrill but I don’t think you understand what your getting yourself into. It starts with a kiss and feelings develop and then you find yourself in a situation you “never thought” you’d be in.

I strongly suggest you get rid of this man in your life because once you starting pushing boundaries your likely to get more involved and once your “happy marriage” falls apart your going to want that more than ever.

Don’t throw away your happy relationship for some man or a kiss.

Very well said, Susy. I totally agree with you. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

The grass isn't greener on the other side, it's greener where it's watered. Hugs, Lu
