Emotional fling is not quite accurate. He flirted and I was thrown off balance. I ignored the secual innuendos. I started working hard to be his and his wife's "friend". I let him in on my depression and he tried to be supportive. We texted too much. I hit rock bottom. He distanced himself.

This all happened over the span of 2 or 3 years.

And now I just wish that my thoughts did not always go back to him.
