Uh-huh. Whatever you say.

Your own marriage undoubtedly will suffer when your husband moves away, which is truly sad for that baby.

Now husband is saying he’ll choose a place only 2 hours away instead of double-digits, though. I think that should work totally fine for us. And I’m independent, I have multiple work friends (not just this guy!) offering to babysit and help already.

The emotional distance is the real problem.

Y’all need to fix that instead of you diverting your attention to this work guy who gives you attention.

I find this statement really naive. It doesn’t sound like either of you understand what a healthy marriage or boundaries look like. You’re already having an emotional affair, and soon you will have two absent spouses.
What a time to bring a baby into your marriage... SMH.

I predict a divorce in the future.

I just genuinely don’t see what man would want to stay just as close of friends with me after being told I’m pregnant, and would volunteer to help w the baby (hello baggage!), If actually interested in an affair. That’s why I’m so convinced we are only friends

Girl....

Please just do you. If you think everything is fine... everything is fine. Live your life and take care of your child. We don't need anymore updates or rationalizations for your choices. You need to realize you're trying so hard to prove a point to people who don't matter and ultimately won't have to deal with the results of your choices. Let that sink in.

Do you.

Thanks. IT may be unconventional but we just really seem to enjoy talking every day. It’s not like he hasn’t suggested we get together as a group someday when both our spouses & his son are in town.

Friendship between a man and a woman will never be true friendship. It will always be adulterated (pun intended), for mating is an instinct and fighting an instinct is like blowing against the wind.

Well, he may send me “XOXO” when saying good night but in that same convo he mentioned hanging out with his wife. So that, in my mind, is a platonic sort of XOXO/kiss face between friends. You wouldn’t mention your wife if looking for an affair
