plenty of reasons to hide the R even if no sex is happening.

I just said that's what I did. I didn't want to embarrass my h or aggravate things but I did date and I did have feelings for OM. But I did not sleep with him.

The reason I hid it, among other things, is bc I didn't want h to think I was sleeping with him (and I wasn't.)

I find it odd that no one in your family has taken cousin out by the woodshed and done some "splainin' to him.

Not you, but someone needs to tell him he's hurting his own extended family and hanging with an older woman with problems he's NOT helping.

I hope your w gets the help she needs. Is she on meds now?

And face what it is with Kelli; you have a wounded ego and a younger cute woman you have shown some sort of interest in, expressed interest in you. She's also looking at you as a safe, older mentor man who won't hurt her like her h has wounded her. She is vulnerable and so are you.

You are both wounded people in no position to be in an R with the other. For her sake, and yours, make it clear that you two can date in your next life but not in this one.

hang in there.

it does get better
