My married best friend keeps things physical but won't go further — is her reasoning genuine???
Me and my best friend are really close. She's married and has 2 kids. She is 33 years old and i am 27 ..working in same department..We've managed to meet up physically twice so far. Both times there was a lot of romance and a strong connection, but whenever things started moving further, she'd stop me. She wouldn't even let me touch her below a certain point.
Once I asked her directly why, and she said:
"If we have sex, you'll drift away from me. And I really don't want that."
Hearing that left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, it felt nice that she values our bond that much. On the other, I'm confused about whether that reasoning is actually real, or just an excuse for something else.
Do you think her reasoning sounds genuine? Or could there be another reason she's not telling me?
