I posted here, or it might have been r/adultery about 6 months ago. I've been with my married man for many years. I'm single. He's late 60s, I'm early 60s. We are very much in love. He will not leave his wife. I think it's money that is keeping him there.

I said in that long ago post that I would be moving away. That has happened as I moved about 5 days ago. It was so difficult to leave. He actually cried along with me. We've planned for me to go back every couple of months to see each other.

From our texts, I know he's suffering greatly and missing me. I miss him too, but I'm busy helping my parents. He will text me very often and gets upset when I can't answer right away or have a two hour conversation. I'd told him things would have to be different once I leave. But he seems to have forgotten that.

He apparently thinks I'm running around with other men. I'm not and don't plan to look for anyone. If i meet someone and things are good, I might go out with someone. But I guarantee it will not be a married man. For now, I'm just helping my parents, cooking, cleaning , and shopping for them.

I'm getting frustrated that he truly thinks I'm going to stay his "girlfriend" forever. I would like to have a man I can introduce to my parents, go on vacations with, and enjoy life in the open.

I'm really just venting. I do care for him deeply. I always enjoyed our time together. Now we won't have that time, and I know I'll get lonely for a man. I'll probably update in a few weeks. I don't have anyone I can talk to about this.
