Hugs but no kisses

I get the feeling that Emmanuel Macon has that effect on women. Angie always takes such a grab at him and I think I would be tempted.
Its a natural feeling after all and all is not over at 60 just that you don't get the opportunity.

Agree with MrsMopp. OP may not have done anything wrong,?bit fantasising and hankering after another woman's husbamd is wrong. You know what they say, words become thoughts, thoughts become actions. If the opportunity did present itself can OP be sure she wouldn't go ahead? You should stay well clear and cut this so called friendship. Who really would want such a friend? Go find interesting people with whom you can have genuine friendships with, male and female. But leave this man well alone. Think how you would feel if yours and hers roles were reversed.

It is totally normal to feel attracted to a member of the opposite sex whatever your age, even someone else's husband. But that is not the important thing - what you choose to do about it is.

You can carry on as you are, dabbling round the edges, just regarding it as a bit of icing on life's cake for you. You will be causing his wife distress, so I do not think that will make you feel very good about yourself. You could go the whole hog and set out to poach him from her, but are you prepared to cause that much distress?

Or you could do the honourable thing and cut the ties - seek a social life elsewhere and leave this couple to get on with their lives.

I know it is hard and you will be able to think of dozens of apparently rational reasons why you should not do this; but being "in love" is a form of madness and closes off your rational brain. Just do it - you will be able to think better of yourself.
