Attentions from married man
plays with womans emotions
DEAR ABB Y: I’m some
one who doesn’t get noticed
often by the opposite sex.
So when I do receive atten
tion, it’s a very nice feeling.
The problem is, I am get
ting that attention from a
man who is married.
In the beginning, I didn’t
know he was married. He
doesn’t wear a ring, and he
never mentioned a wife
until one day while we
were chatting, he let it slip.
I don’t think he meant for it
to happen.
When someone is mar
ried, I back off. But for
some reason, I’m not back
ing away from this. I’m
starting to have feelings for
him. I’m leaving it up to
him, though. If he flirts, I’ll
flirt back. When he comes
on strong one day, the next
day he feels guilty and
backs off, but then we pick
up right where we left off.
I’m not trying to paint
him as the bad guy; he’s
honestly a really good guy
— in my opinion. I know
it’s wrong, and he hasn’t
promised anything. We
haven’t had any physical
contact other than the daily
interaction. But it’s messing
with my emotions. I don’t
want to feel anything for
him, but I can’t help it.
Help! — DAZED & CON
FUSED
DEAR DAZED & CON
FUSED: You may not want
to feel anything for this
married man, but you do.
And because you “don’t get
noticed much by the oppo
site sex,” the attention
you’re receiving is like
water on a parched flower.
You may not have had
physical contact with him
(yet), but you are playing
with fire. This is no longer
an “innocent” flirtation.
Someone will get hurt if it
continues, and that person
is likely to be you. Keep in
mind that “good guys”
don’t behave the way he
does, and this wouldn’t
have happened if he had
been honest with you about
his marital status.

DEAR ABBY: When I
DEARABBY
Jeanne Phillips
came out as gay, my par
ents rejected me. It made
my early 20s the most chal
lenging period of my life. I
have tried to forgive them
and move on, but they
refuse to acknowledge the
trauma they caused.
I was upset all over again
last year when they felt
sorry for a young adult and
let him move in with them.
Mom never shuts up about
how we should feel sorry
for those less fortunate.
They act like I have always
been blessed and refuse to
acknowledge any of the
pain or bad things that have
happened in my life.
How should I react to
this? I’m on a good path
now, no thanks to them, and
my life has never been bet
ter. But I don’t know if I can
ever forgive them for being
so helpful to a stranger and
not their son. Am I wrong to
ask where my sympathy
was? — SEEKING VALI
DATION IN TEXAS
DEAR SEEKING: If you
plan to hold a mirror up to
your knee-jerk homopho
bic parents and expect hon
est introspection from
them, I think you’ll be
wasting your time. It’s pos
sible they think their com
passion for the stranger
makes up for the way they
treated you. Whether you
can forgive them for it
depends solely upon you.
You are now on a con
structive and rewarding
path. The validation you are
seeking can be found there.
Your ability to forgive may
come once you have dis
tanced yourself enough that
the pain they caused less
ens. I have often advised
that when parents are toxic,
it’s important to build “fam
ilies of choice,” and I hope
that is what you are doing
and will continue to do.
