I'm in a big dilemma. I met this man at a company's party 7 months ago. We work for same company and he's a chief of department but not my department. He works in another building. We met through a friend of mine who works under his lead in that department.

Long story short, he showed interest in me, we exchanged phone numbers, started talking and we started having sex. He has a very high drive and we have even done it in the car because sometimes he can't wait to get the bedroom. He has a very stressful position, works very long hours and it seems he unloads all that stress in sex.

He told me he was divorced, no kids. That was until one day the friend I mentioned said his partner and one of his sons showed up to make him a surprise on his birthday.

I confronted him and he admitted he has lived with a woman for 8 years and he has two sons aged 5 and 3. They are not married, though. I said I wanted to break up but he came up with his sweet talk, saying we were just having fun and we could stop it at any time.

He said he enjoyed his partner's company but that they barely had sex since their youngest child was born.

We kept going out but I felt increasingly guilty. Last weekend he took me to his family's holiday house and as I came down the stairs to the living room, I saw a picture of him with his sons on the table. I felt terrible even though I really like him.

He thinks we're casual but I care for him in ways that don't have to do with sex. I know I should stop seeing him but I truly enjoy him and don't know what to do.

Yes, you do know what to do. You said, "I know I should stop seeing him." The rest of the sentence doesn't matter.

And I also found out that when we started going out, he was also seeing another coworker for a while.

So, all this information, and you STILL are seeing him? That is just stupid. You know what you need to do. The guy is taking you for a ride..many rides, and the only place you are headed is in a circle. Get off now and get on with your life.

Why is this decision so difficult that you cannot make it on your own?
Read the words you have written and ask yourself if you really want to continue to live like that.
Obviously the man does not care for you in the ways you care for him and to be told "We're just having fun" is beyond any proof I would need to know for sure his only intention was for sex and nothing more.

You'll be amazed at how much better the sex is, when you get a partner who is honest.

So, you are content being the other woman... sad for you and for the family that man has.

This guy is not worth having. He lies to you. He cheats on his partner.

You're in to him anyway, but he is not into you. He has said plainly his only interest in you is sexual.

Move on.

Listen to what the posters have said here.

Or do you WANT to be the side chick?
