Yes, I've done the same thing. We used each other in different ways. I used him for strength and he used me because he was lonely. He wanted to be more than friends but I told him that I wasn't interested. He didn't care and we stayed freinds for 3 more years.

Even after he got married he still called me and we would talk about our problems and the positive things.

Eventually my husband said I can't have a friendship with him any longer so it ended.

There is a saying that people come into our lives for a reason, season or a life time. When you figure out which it is you will know exactly what to do.

Just cherish what you have while you have it, as long as your both honest with each other in your motives as to why you are friends. That way no one gets hurt.

Peace
Tammy
