He's got a girlfriend and kids. He's a good friend of mine. We get on well and teasing each other. I say he flirts with me but he says we banter. I like him but also have a feeling that he likes me. We both share personal stuff stories. As he was saying I could take him to this restaurant for a meal but he had to cancel because of his daughter instead he invited has me to his place and wants me to meet his family which I find weird. Because we're only going for a meal. I feel like we're drifting but I don't know. Guys, could guy fall for another person even though they are in a relationship already? He did ask me, 'are u happy in your relationship?' i said I'm alright, we're alright. Help guys. What do u all reckon?

Dragonflymagic answered Saturday March 4 2017, 8:14 pm: Heres a possibility I've come across with people I knew. First I will explain that a healthy fulfilling relationship has two things that make up the solid foundation. One is being best friends which is the emotional need people have and the other is being sexually compatible which takes care of desires and sexual needs. Not all people have both with their partner. Or perhaps it once was there but things changed. Our partner should be the one we get our emotional support from, compliments and building up are examples. If not getting enough or not in the right way or it is non existent from their partner, a married person will easily seek out good friendships. The friends may not be same sex but the opposite.
Now if a guy had the best friend in a partner but the sex was missing, then he might have affairs or be working towards it. Then he would not be wanting to broadcast a friendship with such a female who was his sex partner. But when it is innocently a emotional support friend, even female, then the man will not feel awkward bringing such a friend home because he is not having sex with her. The flirting doesn't count if its being done just for fun cus its pleasant and a good way to keep up ones skills in flirting. So yes, it can be totally innocent and he is just wanting you to meet the people important to him.
Asking if you are happy in your relationship sounds like something a friend who cares might ask. Now is it possible for guys or even gals to be in a happy relationship and yet fall for another person...no...not very likely. There are however people known as polyamorists. This means they have their core relationship..the one they live with and/or are married to, and both are okay with sharing each other...no secrets kept in such a configuration. And if one then falls for another, it is well known and accepted by their partner and some time is spent with the other. In a few cases, it is just love like love for a sister or brother or best friend but in more cases there is also the fact they become sex partners. That is why communication is important for safety sake and all being on the same page. If a guy intended to stay married or with a girlfriend but has friends on the outside who are important, why wouldn't he want all the special people in his life to meet. Since you are not looking for someone new and he is taken, just enjoy his friendship without trying to overthink it. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
