I had an affair for seven years with a man I deeply loved and believed he loved me too. I met Dan (not his real name ) when I was 29 and had just come out of a five year relationship. He was almost twenty years older at 47, but we were definitely on the same page. We met through mutual work friends - he was in the same industry and right from the get-go he had me captivated, he was larger- than- life and very funny.
Life was never dull with Dan and that’s for sure. Initially I resisted his very obvious interest in getting me into bed, I knew he was married and I wasn’t ‘that type of woman.’ I suppose you could say we had a non sexual affair for about a year when we became best friends and were chatting and messaging each other a couple of times a day and meeting up for food or drinks a few times a week. I knew everything about him and him about me.
