I get your point, but he did absolutely take advantage of me. He lied to me by acting like everything was cool, told me how much he wanted to see me and hold me, and got my hopes up. He didn’t say what he wanted or make that clear, so I went with the vibes. Cooked him a meal, we cuddled, watched anime.. then decided to text me to tell me things wouldn’t work out bc of being energetic…
Lust is a an emotion just like love, hate; longing and indifference. If he said “I had a rough day and feel like being alone” would you have read deeper into it - taken it as a sign that he doesn’t want anything to do with you? No. You both shared a moment of fleeting emotions. He did not manipulate you, trick you or con you. You both gave into the same emotion.
I agree that it’s okay that he doesn’t want me. He had 0 type of honesty with what was going on and allowed me to get close. Normally I am “stronger” I have been abstinent. But I felt connection, let my guard down, & he talked to me to make me feel safe. It wasn’t until I had this longing feeling everything wasn’t “cool.” When I reached out to understand and communicate what was happening. No matter what the situation is, wife or a one-night stand, don’t act like it’s something it’s not
