There’s this guy that I’ve liked for a while. He’s been great. We’re really good friends. He always refers to me as his “best friend.” He’s very genuine, and he always stays way later than his workday (3:30 is his end time, 6-7 is usually how long he stays with me). He’ll usually spend 4 hours with me each day. He talks to me about his life, what he has to deal with at work, and anything and everything in between. That is, until I found out about his wife and kids about a week ago. He doesn’t talk about them much unless I prompt him. I previously thought maybe I should ask him out despite the age difference, but now that I know about his family, I would absolutely never. It just seems really odd to me. Any takes? I feel like I should start distancing myself, even if we work together.

How do I deal (much older guy/younger girl situation)?

I told him that I would be coming to this office less, and he was pretty sad about it. He asked what he could do to make me stay, but I said that there wasn’t anything he could do. For some background, my job requires a lot of travel and going between offices, and his doesn’t. I made the decision to distance myself a bit. He’s still been doing the same stuff and more, including visiting me for hours. It feels weird. He told me recently he doesn’t tell his wife about me at all.
