Search Results: sex with a married friend

Is there ever a time where it's too LATE to say "I love you"? It's been going on almost a year and a half--and he keeps claiming he only sees me "as a toy" (but his actions speak louder than words)! He also asked if I had feelings for him; which I SAID I liked him a lot. Since then, he's acted a lot "nicer" and more worried about it ending etc. I'm scared that my friends with benefits/casual boyfriend can't truly love someone because he witnessed a divorce... and each parent remarrying, as well as his brother getting married (who now avoids him).

His past girlfriends have been short-lived, cheated on him OR acted like they really didn't want sex with him anymore! He's also kinda has a BAD reputation; so it's really hard for him to hold on to a girl for more than a few months... but with me--it's standing the test of time. He only seems to know how to use people. Now, if anything we're "using each other" or so it looks like that from HIS point of view. To my family, it looks like he's my actual boyfriend etc.

In reality, I'm in love with him. I feel like telling him I loved him will scare him off. That being said--I feel like he needs to know someone cares about him. It's kinda like a service in which we have sex with each other and it makes us happy... BUT I have similar interests with him... I don't know what to do. I'm NOT going to end this because it's still pretty fulfilling for me :) ! Neither of us really want marriage--EITHER. So, has it gone on too long to tell him how much I really love him?

I have tried talking to him, he swears he is attracted to me... I am attractive 32 yo in shape and have a high sex drive. He seems just fine giving me a peck on the lips in the morning before work... thats about as hot and heavy as it gets :( He won't go to counseling and says there is nothing wrong. I have said maybe we should go back to being friends and he is like no I want to be married to you forever! But I won't be happy in a sexless marriage. Also my birthday is next week. He works 7 days a week so we never have days off together to go do bonding activities. I asked if he could take off his part time job on the Saturday before my birthday to go on a hike... nothing too crazy to ask! and he said no i am not taking off work. then i said well can we go to dinner and he said we could use the gift card i got from my job for my birthday... i feel so dissatisfied and sad that i got myself into this marriage. We are basically living as roommates! and anytime i have tried to bring it up he says im being annoying or to shut up which has left me to stop even trying for intimacy.
