Should I just let it go?

Hey guys! First off, I'm a Sag woman involved with a Cap man. I think the usual traits: I'm free-spirited, lighthearted and very affectionate. He's reserved, grounded and intense. We're coworkers in a place where gossip runs rampant, so we try to keep things under cover. We both agreed to sex only in the beginning, but the booty calls turned into more of a FWB because we started talking daily, sometimes up to three times a day with lengthy phone calls. He stops by my department every week and talks to my coworker so he could see me without rising suspicion. But more recently he's been reckless in his actions: he wants to go out and do things together publicly, when he stops by my department he hangs over my desk staring into my eyes and tries to hold my hand, which confuses me. Since I've nothing to hide, I'd tell him how some Fri nights I'd go hang out at another coworker's house (male) and a friend of his. Nothing has ever happened between me and the friend (although it has come to light that he likes me), and I assured my guy this as it was a burning question of his. The male friend never mentioned me coming over to my guy (they been estranged lately), and he doesn't even know my guy and I are talking to each other. When I told my guy this, he didn't react, but a week later he hung out with his friend and said the friend was tired of me coming over and drinking all his alcohol! Knowing that his friend liked me, and hearing this, I decided to back off and not hang out over there. I never said anything b/c our relationship was supposed to be a secret. Well, the friend asked me why I was acting so icy, and I told him what my guy said without telling him who said it. Well, the friend declared he never said that! Needless to say, I got into an argument w/my guy, and he's upset with me for saying something he told me in confidence and won't speak to me. I don't know if he's not talking to me b/c I betrayed his trust or if it's possible he lied about what his friend said about me and got caught. I'm wondering if I should contact him or let him contact me... if he even will. It's been almost a week since we spoke, and he hasn't been by my department. I know he can be pretty stubborn, but I want an apology for him hanging up on me during our argument. But to be honest, I'm ready to make up b/c I miss our talks and the awesome sex we had. What should I do?

I agree with capgirl75 in this. He's just a guy you have sex with. Nothing more, nothing less. He will come around if he gets lonely enough.

Why he did it in first place could mean that he wants to move step further from fwb to dating maybe, which could be the reason he made up the story. A little jealousy and not wanting to share from your guys part. Anyway he's not happy to have been found out. So either he will come around or go back to being just another coworker.

@metoo..... thanks for breaking it down like that. he was always asking me about who's hitting on me at work, and with your competition comment, it makes sense. people who really give a crap don't disappear like that. i was actually going to apologize for betraying his trust b/c I felt bad, after creating what I thought was a friendship for 5 months, but now I'm thinking if he's so quick to disappear, it's just not worth it. the truth can be brutal, but i can take it.

What the hell does it mean to be "free-spirited?"

Does this just give you an excuse to be irresponsible? Immature? Loose?

I'll tell you what I would do with your free-spirit.

I would lock it up in a cold warehouse and put it to work.

Pay it under the minimum wage with no benefits.

Obama can't help you where you're going.

BTW you should just let it go, gives you more time to get back to what's important, SEX.



The Sags I know have the attitude/life style of "if it feels good do it, if it feels great, do it again". Not saying that's wrong, but I think that's what they mean by free-spirited.

I think his response was a little of both. One, he got caught in a lie and he will deny this to the grave. Two, his "so called" trust has been broken which is trust he doesn't deserve. Oh, well, too bad for him, whah, whah. Sounds like maybe he was territorial and although he doesn't want to commit, he doesn't want to share either. Caps don't like sharing. I think he's a little embarrassed of himself and thats why he has slunk away like a thief in the night. Which, is what he is, btw - getting a little sumthin' sumthin' without having to work for it. Since my divorce, I have met soooo many grown men with this attitude and it's starting to really piss me off! I have no respect for them! And it pisses me off at the women who go along because it reinforces their behavior and lets them know they can get away with it. Anywho, sorry, I'm not really directing that at you. Just got on my soapbox for a minute.

On the opposite side of that thought, I am wondering if he might have been ready for the next step - willing to be seen in public, etc.

My question is, How do you feel about him? Do you have feelings you're not willing to admit? Is that why its bothering you so much?

If so, tell him he can either date you and start over without sex or he can just move on to someone else.

WOW JTG... strong words! And of course protection is used!

koi... yeah, def a movie. a low budget drama.. haha. and never at work! too many cameras 🙂

true cap.. yeah, i feel bad, even in our "situation" b/c i was starting to feel closer to him and then i betrayed his unearned trust as you call it. whether or not the FWB situation would have worked out in the long run, we all know it's short lived at best, i still wanted to be his friend b/c we seemed to connect on a good level. we shared a lot of things close to our hearts and just deep convos in general. goin out in public does make me uncomfortable b/c i feel like it might've been a step in a dating direction, and since we've never discussed actually dating, i didn't want to entertain the possibility. but yeah, i can admit to being infatuated.
