lately ppl, particularly women, have been coming to me for advice on their male problems. i have my own take on things but, alas, i am not a man. i'm not psychic either. u guys know that i sometimes come on here and divulge just to hear ur POV.

so, as the title suggests, the girl in question has been having a low profile, kinda discreet affair with my bass player. i only know cuz i always seem to end up knowing other ppls' business. they are not an official couple. she is in an open relationship and everyone is aware of the other. she and my bass player only started "seeing" each other last month. they have fooled around a couple of times and only had sex once.

after they actually had sex (happened last monday) she started to notice a change in him. he knew that she was gonna be with her boyfriend this past saturday after he asked her to see a show with him and she had to turn him down. the next day (sunday) she checked her FB account and happened to write in the commentary that she "was satisfied and had an amazing night". (she admitted to me that she found her bf to be a MUCH better lover) well, of course, she is friends with my bassist on there and ever since then he has been practically avoiding her. they used to talk all the time, and he would respond with lightning speed to her calls/texts, etc. she even tried to hang out with both of them at the live performance that saturday (i guess the 2 guys know of each other but have never been in each other's presence), where some of her friends would be present to create a group setting, but he would not give her the information.

i'm also wondering what he's thinking. i am pretty close to him so nothing has changed in his life. no new events, no new distress, nothing that has changed to maybe cause him to become distant. ever since she came around he always seemed to be quite taken with her. i often caught him staring at her when we were out and he'd practically beg her to touch him as much as possible (i.e. like if she put a hand on his shoulder he would immediately lean into her so she would automatically lean on him). i've heard him blurt things out that were awfully sweet too. things that led me to believe he found her beautiful inside and out.

do u think he's a bit more attached than he likes? she's never brought her bf around before, nor does she ever really talk about him, so maybe things got a little too real? fwiw, i did his chart and he has cancer sun and moon.

i could very well be wrong but in my opinion, because of what she wrote on fb, i think he might be feeling like inadequate. his ego has been bruised, it probably has nothing to do with how much he likes her as it is how much he likes the idea of being better than the bf. and now that he knows he's not he probably would rather mess around with another girl who will make him feel like more of the "number one" guy. thats just my 2 cents

thx for the input, CG!

i said something along those lines. i find it interesting that he would still get involved if he knew he couldn't handle it. i almost get the feeling that he didn't want to. my take is that he only went for it to prove that he was more worthy in hopes that she'd choose him over her bf.



Oh for sure! Men do weird things from time to time. He will probably moon over her for years. Because of the one-two punch above.
