I had a one-night stand with Mike in Vancouver a few years ago. I still talk to him from time to time. He's married. He wasn't married when we spent the night in a (rather fancy downtown) Holiday Inn, but he was in a relationship. He hid this fact, saying he was "kind of dating someone." He meant that he was engaged, but I amorally took this to mean that he was seeing someone but it wasn't exclusive. His fault for not saying, my fault for not asking. Anyway. We had awesome sex and used up all the condoms and were reciprocal with all the downstairs business.
We chat each other up once a month or so. I'm not really interested in him, but I love the attention. I love that he still looks at my pictures and admits to some light facebook stalking. I find it very sexy and comforting to know that I was his last fling before settling down, and that I'm someone he'll always remember fondly and with gratitude. I can't bring myself to judge him for betraying his fiancee, because then I'd have to judge myself for going back to chat with him any time I'm feeling the slightest bit down on myself, knowing that he things I'm gorgeous and wants to say nice things to me all the time. It's addictive and soothing. Who wouldn't want that? Is it emotional cheating if we never talk about sex or make any plans to meet? I won't lie- I would be insanely flattered if he jerked off and thought of me. I don't think of him when I jerk off, though.
I told him I had taken a lot of selfies recently in an indulgent moment of loving the way my hair looked. He asked for a collage. A couple of the pictures were kind of sexy- nothing a bathing suit wouldn't reveal, but you know what I mean. I included those ones.
I'd like to think that I'm not the type of person who would sleep with a married man, but I'm grateful that he's thousands of miles away.
