I feel compelled to respond:
Out of the literally billions of men on the planet, surely you can find a normal guy. And no, it’s not normal to go on a dating site with the disclaimer “No Questions”. Does the wife know about the site? Does she know that he is dating just anyone? Meaning, P.S. you’re not the only one! What else is he not telling you? Criminal record? STDs? I’m serious here. There is a certain arrogance behind anyone who writes “Disclaimer: No Personal Questions” on a dating site.
Perhaps if more women (and men!) don’t humor married people and encourage them to take sex casually there would be fewer extra-marital affairs! When you sleep with a married person you are essentially saying, “Your twenty year relationship with your husband/wife didn’t matter and wasn’t a big deal. Because look, you are now sleeping with someone and I mean it could be anyone. OR// I’m the exception! I’m on par with the spouse, Yay!”
If you truly clicked, imagine he is your knight and you are his lady/muse. They didn’t sleep together either, but the romance was there! Let him transmute that feeling into poetry or something. And if you truly feel nothing, let him give the poetry to his wife.
