He just wants to be friends

michelle, 23, from england, asks:

I am very good friends with a guy from work. He recently split from his wife after cheating on her. Soon after we started seeing each other, we got on really well and had a good time. Soon after this he told me he only wanted to be friends as he could never see us as a couple even though he said he really likes me and misses me a lot. I have seen him since and things have continued to happen between us even though he only wants to be friends. I know he is still confused and upset from what he did to his wife and family but I have fallen for him and I don't know what to do or what he is thinking, please help.

VictorM's advice:

Be just a friend and keep a little distance until he sorts things out with his wife. It's better for him and it's better for you if you remain friends for now. The last thing you want is to get further involved with a guy who is still "confused and upset" about his wife. She might take him back. Even if he's not in love with her, he'll most likely want a different ending to the relationship first before he jumps on to someone else.

I don't know what you mean by "things have continued to happen between us" but you're setting yourself up for disappointment. There's a good chance that you're just his comfort friend. Like ice cream after a bad day.
