About me:

I’m married 18 years, and spend my marriage (on good terms) about 10 months ago.

The Situation:

In early march, I started talking with a woman I have been friends with on facebook for years. She is the older sister of a girl i graduated high school with. I never really knew her personally, just that she was the older sister of this girl i knew from school. Neighborhood girl. I am 50 she is 53. I reached out to her one day to say hi on facebook seeing she was single, rolling teh dice to maybe see if she was interested in hanging out with a married man. She was skeptical at first, but agreed to give it a try.

We talked for about a week, git along good, and decided to see at a diner on March 16th. We had a nice date. Chatted, talked about life, the old neighborhood etc. i went home with a smile on my face as dis she. The next week or so texting as great. We started talking about our next date, and she was busy with things in her life. She lives at home with her mother after a divorce with her 16 year old son, he was injured at school, she had stuff going on, etc. On April 3rd, we were supposed to finally get together, and she sends me a text message that morning, saying she “has been thinking” said she really like me, but decided that she doesn’t really want to share her man with anyone else. I was shocked, but not shocked. It was always in teh back of my head that that may happen. I said “thats ok, i respect your honesty, we can still be friends.” She was grateful for it and we left it at that.

We did not speak for the past two months at all. Last friday afternoon, she sends me a text message out of the blue. “Hey stranger, how have you been?” I replied casually and we chatted for about 10 minutes. We both asked how the dating life was going, and she said she had one date and they were “taking it slow.” The conversation ended with her saying “If youre ever at your mom’s and see my truck in the driveway stop by! Dont be a stranger.” (She lives with HER mom around the corner from my mom where I grew up.)

Yesterday, i was at my mothers setting up her yard furniture for the summer. My mom is widowed so I help her out. I texted her saying “Hey, Im at my moms, i can swing by in a few hours when Im done around 9pm.” She said “Sure, text me when you are coming, Im just running to the drug store.”

I stopped by there, and we stood outside by my car for about 45 minutes just chatting and catching up. Its as nice and friendly. I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek goodbye, and as she was walking away, again, she said “Dont be a stranger.”

This morning, I see a pic of her and a guy, who i assume is the one she is hanging out with now, on facebook.

Am I reading into this too much? Why would he reach out to me after telling me my marital situation is not for her? Is she just keeping in touch? Or is there more behind this?
