It's amazing to me that none of these other people you work with - including and especially the principle who talked to you about her- knew she was still married.


She knew she was leading you on but "it made her feel good to be wanted." You probably made her feel attractive at a time when her marriage was floundering.

Am I the only one who thinks this would have been a terribly confusing time for the lady? That disruption to a marriage send many people into a tailspin? My divorced friends confess to acting inappropriately during the breakdown of the marriage. We'll never know the cause of the lady's marital woes, but poor self esteem seems to be an outcome of marriage troubles or separation.


The OP's assumptions were fair-no ring, reference to alternate weekends with her son and 'my son's father' imply a separation or divorce. Once she'd begun to avoid his calls, the OP should have suspected something, and asked the lady if she were really available for dating.


Consider this a learning experience. As for trying to contact her... well, if I were in her shoes, I would have blocked your email address after receiving your angry missive. Writing from an alternate email address that she may not have blocked, will NOT score you brownie points. I personally would consider it a form of stalking. On the Internet, non-response usually means a lack of interest in further communication.

I can understand how the poster felt used. But it sounds like he just assumed she wasn't married. In all that time that he spent with her, this question never came up. Likewise, it seems that she never volunteered her marital status to him; if she were interested in him, she probably would have done that.


That being said, she definitely led him on. Exchanging e-mails and phone numbers, and the flirting, would lead any reasonable man to believe she was interested. Looking at the big picture, he should probably just move on. The woman obviously has baggage and baggage-related issues, that can cause her demeanor to change in an instant. There are plenty of fish in the sea....cast your reel, sit back, and drink a cold one.
