dogloverof2 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Many, many years ago, I was attracted to a guy that was not my husband. He would come into my work...he was attracted to me or maybe he was going along with it to see how far he could go with me. Who knows.....It was only just that, an attraction. We did remain friends and cordial due to customer/work relationship. We would share a good laugh as he did with a lot of the people at my work. My husband was selling his motorcycle about that time frame and I gave this guy my number and told him to call and I would get him and my husband together to discuss the motorcycle. I told my husband about it. Nothing ever happened.. I am not at my job anymore either. Left almost 2 years ago... Fast forward to today..... about 7 or 8 years after the above took place I get a text message from him. Out of the blue. He said he didn't know if I still lived in the area and wanted to say hello, cause it has been alone time since he had talked to me. I messaged back saying yes it has been along time and that I am doing good. and wished him well. I was very vague. He messaged back about 2 hours later stating that he was "doing okay". just those 2 words..... That was he extent of the whole text conversation. So here I go....was he fishing?? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He was absolutely fishing, so if you have no desire to cheat on your husband, you should ignore it. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Author dogloverof2 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 He was absolutely fishing, so if you have no desire to cheat on your husband, you should ignore it. No desire what so ever to do that to hubby. I thought it was really weird that after all of this time ............ Thanks for your reply! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MrsSimpf Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I do believe you wouldn't be posting your question--and not talking to your husband about it or simply dismissing texts--if you didn't suspect that he is fishing and trying to connect for some reason. It sounds as though he contacted you to connect, hoping that your relationship status changed. Your marriage must come first, and I would suggest all these years later to not answer or continue via texting. It simply invites challenges into your relationship. As a believer in the sanctity of my vows to my husband, I'm just encouraging you to do the same. Link to post Share on other sites
Poutrew Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) The reply he was looking for was that you are now single, or lonely and how maybe you should get together with him as you had such good times back in the day.... Yes, he was fishing. Don't reply to any more of his messages - don't be the Trout Also, tell your hubs... At this stage, it'll be good for a few laughs for you both.

Michelle ma Belle Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Wow...he still had your contact information after 7-8 years of zero contact?! Who keeps phone numbers of people they never talk to for that long? Unless you're family or someone pretty significant in my life, you're lucky if your number is still on my phone a month from now! Good Lawd. Does that mean YOU still had his number in your contact list too? How did you know it was him? Someone needs to do a serious clean up Link to post Share on other sites
BikerAccnt Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Wow...he still had your contact information after 7-8 years of zero contact?! Who keeps phone numbers of people they never talk to for that long? Sheepishly raises his hand.. I seldom delete numbers from my phone, I have some from people and places I've just dealt with one time. Why? Lord knows? Just never think to delete them. Just like I don't think about the person the number is attached to.... Link to post Share on other sites
