It doesn't matter if he is happy at home or not.


HE IS MARRIED. HE HAS 3 CHILDREN! Stay away.

The last thing I would want is to be involved with someone who sighs about having to take care of his children. Sounds like a real winner to me.

You need to fight through those feelings with logic and common sense.

If he's not happy with her, he will not be happy with you either, and it would just be a matter of time before he comes across someone else he "fancies." That "glimmer of hope" you feel, is nothing but a mere illusion conjured up by your own feelings towards this man.

Let it go and do your job.

If he likes you so much he will do a trial separation first,if he has any sort of respect within himself.There is no need to hurt and deceive people who have long loved you and carried your babies.

The fact that you even mention how he's tired of his children says a lot about your priorities, and if he was to ever leave her for you what sort of terrible influence would you be on them that you didn't even think about their hurt or feelings.

I know it's very hard when there is lots of spark and gazing between you and it's quite hard to put them out of your mind,but really affairs are very damaging,some women waste years of their life on men who are married and never leave.Then they never find someone who could give them everything.
This. And very good advice from someone who's experienced the same feelings.

As stated, many men rarely leave their wives for a mistress. Sometimes the complaining is just venting and letting off steam. Being a parent and spouse comes with stress and troubles. But just because you vent sometimes doesn't mean you don't want your family. And sometimes any affairs people have isn't because they're looking for someone new to replace their spouse, so much as it's a fun fantasy and break. Fun w/o the drama of family life. After a quick fix, they go right back home to their family where they genuinely wanna be.

I have to shut my feelings off for him and act as though they don't exist. He makes things awkward as I will walk in the office and I catch him staring at me or he will go in to the kitchen when I go. I don't think he is happy at home as he moans about his children and how much they cost and he sighs at how he has the children on his own at weekends as his wife works shifts. Today I got flustered as he came near me, I know I cannot involved but how can I deal with this knowing he fancies me too.
Focus on finding someone who is actually available.

Don't go screwing around with married folks. I fell in love with a married woman and what a heart wrenching mistake. Took me a year to recover. It doesn't matter how bad it is at home, they very rarely leave the spouse.

I had to read this article almost everyday for a month to start to move on.

And why would you WANT to build a relationship with someone who is vividly and demonstrably untrustworthy?

We do have to keep in mind that the OP is an unreliable narrator. It may be that nowhere but in her head is this guy trashing his family and pining for her.
