I wouldn't want to be with him if he was in an open relationship, I'm not interested in being the other woman. It's possible that you are correct that he is using me emotionally, but he has told me that he has never been good at expressing his feelings (verbally). He does tell me that he misses me, he worries about me, he wants to see me, he even tells me to behave. He runs his fingers through my hair, and we hug each other. Some of our mutual friends assume that there is something between us and joke that we should get married already. I suppose that the red flag for me is that he hasn't left her yet and they've had serious problems for years, including cheating (they have both cheated). I know it won't be easy for him to leave, but I know most men who say they're going to leave never do.
Advice please! I fell in love with my "married" best friend?
