Search Results: talking to a married man

So rewind to a few months ago, my dad used to reach out weekly or maybe every few weeks. At the time, my mom and I (parents are divorced) weren’t talking so not sure if my dad saw himself as the middle man. As soon as my mom and I start talking again, he begins reaching out more frequently. Maybe it’s a coincidence but my dad in my opinion reaches out too often while my mom reaches out just as often and for some reason it doesn’t bother me. My mom lives local and my dad lives in another state, we didn’t talk for 3 years and started again last year. Again he didn’t reach out that often until my mom and I started talking again. My dad just irks me I can’t put a finger on it well kind of but it’s hard to explain. This past weekend, I speak with him Saturday after he calls again from when I didn’t pick up that Tuesday. After we speak about an hr, he calls back about an hr after and I don’t pick up. Sunday, he calls me 4 times and I didn’t answer bc I was just frustrated. I know it’s not an emergency bc he usually texts after if he needs something. Yesterday, he calls again and I kind of chew him out for calling so much Sunday, he called to tell me about a show he watched and I had to ask if that REALLY warranted 4 calls in one day, like a text would’ve done the trick. Honestly I don’t understand why he needs to reach out so much we haven’t had an argument since 3+ years ago before we stopped talking. He only talks to his brother and isn’t on speaking terms with the rest of his family bc they’re assholes. I am kind of fed up with everyone sympathizing for him but I am alone too & don’t see anyone pitying me. My thing is what if I was married or had kids, I’d still be expected to devote my time to him? That isn’t my fault or obligation.

I’ve known him for around 8 years. Up until the beginning of this year, I’ve been single. Never really wanted to be in a relationship etc etc.

I am 28 and he is 40. We have always flirted, he’s always been somewhat abrupt towards me in front of his wife, when the flirting has got too much and it’s getting intense he will stop himself and say “I’m married”. He’s always displayed jealousy when I interact with another man. He’s complimented me, he is always staring at me. He has said if he wasn’t married he would take me out etc. One time, he was talking about me in front of me and he said “she likes Italian men but I’m married”

He’s always encouraged me to meet a guy and settle down. However, he does not seem to like the fact that I’m in a serious relationship. He might say he’s “happy for me” but his facial expression and actions say the polar opposite. He is constantly giving my partner death stares, always ignores him (or if he has to say hi, it’s very icily polite), always asks me about him trying to gage if we are still together, when I told him I was buying a house he got very excited and happy - and then asked if my boyfriend would be living with me. I said yes, and his smile disappeared straight away and he became abrupt.

Why is he acting like a child? My partner thinks he’s obsessed.

I realize asking strangers online will not solve my very real dilemma, but I thought I would anyway just to see what you all say.

Ultimately the choice is mine and only mine.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend because he is indecisive on having children. Because of a previous marriage he is now traumatized to get married and have kids again. We love each other but I know I want marriage and kids.

Since I recently broke up with him, we still talk everyday and he told me he's thinking about kids more than he ever has before and how he doesn't want to lose me...

Wellll... to get over him quicker and distract myself because I'm so distraught over this breakup, I started talking to a man I briefly talked to before I got serious with my boyfriend. This man wants marriage, kids the whole shebang. We get along pretty well and I do like him.

The problem? Should I hold off with this new man until I'm absolutely sure my boyfriend has made up his mind about kids or should I just accept he's indecisive and start this new relationship with someone who actually wants what I want?

And no, no matter how many of you advise I take a break from dating altogether, I won't do that.
