Hi Again,

I mean that I have been the person (married woman with children) that a guy friend had an inappropriate crush on.

If it’s just an ego thing with him, I wouldn’t say anything myself. Let the crush starve itself out. If you say anything, it becomes an Issue/Drama and could last longer by giving it more “reality”. The most I would do is say “I don’t like that” whenever he mentions her in that context, or if their communications and/or communication style gets inappropriate.

If he is truly in love with her I would say, “It’s not working”.

Only YOU know deep down which one it is. Trust your gut.

Inky
