I just got this message from someone that had been messaging me online. (Been spending a lot of time online to keep my mind off of things until my move). I told this person that I was not interested in anything, no relationship, no fling, no nothing, and that I'm still trying to work things out with H. I was just there to pass time while refreshing this site to see if anyone had responded to my posts.

Anyway, here is the message:
Hi GBM. it was nice chatting with you today. Even though it was not for too long. I just wanted to send you this so I know I have the right addy. I don't have any pics on my cpu but I do have a digital camera. As soon as I can, I'll get a pic out to you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Let me know that you got this message.

You have some interesting interests. Fencing. That sounds cool. Are you good at it?

I also like 80's music and classical. Classic rock too.

I look forward to getting to know you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> maybe we can work things out.

Oh yeah This is important! I'm married. I hope that's ok with you. I'm not real happy with my current situation. but we do get along in all areas but sexuality. That's the reason I'm looking for what I proposed with you.

I'm not looking for any trouble.. just someone I can enjoy spending some time with. I would rather it not be a fling. But it would also stop short of a serious relationship. I would not hold you back from meeting Mr. Right.

Rsvp!

Blah! Not to be mean to any WS out there but this just made me mad. Needless to say, I will be blocking this e-mail address.

Gadzooks!!! Where did this guy come from? Not an MBer, I trust?

Hey, why not tell him that you're really good at fencing... ...stereos, TVs, computers used for chat rooms! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

...nah, better 2 not respond!

I sure hope this person is not a LB'er! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />
I think he just was in some chat room I was in.
I'm pretty sure he isn't an LB'er, but
if he is I'd say shame on you!
Makes me wish I knew his wife so I could show her.

I think you SHOULD reply, warn him that he's commiting infidelity, and recommend he visit this site to learn how to create a better marriage than he ever dreamed about.

THEN tell him you're not interersted in a married man. You prefer people with honor and dignity to have as friends.

BM,
I agree with WAT. Let this person know that at least one person in the world thinks infidelity is wrong.

Hi GBM,

Just an observation, but it seems to me that if a person is having M issues, and posts their feelings in a chat room, that they're bound to get some "hits".... no matter how "honorable" YOUR intentions are. Much the same as cruising a single's bar.

Why play with fire? Spend your time here instead...

Semper Fi,

That's the thing, I wasn't even talking in the chat room. He messaged me and I told him I wasn't interested in that sort of thing. But you're right, I'm not going to hang out there anymore.
