You say this is someone you have been friends with for a very long time. The line between friends and friends with benefits got blurred and you didn’t think it was anything terrible but needed some time to think about it.

Was there a discussion when the line got blurred about a future together? Dating? Spending the rest of your life together?

Mostly I am irate with myself for having my kids get to know (they've known he and his family since they were babies) him and spend time with him and enjoy his company and now, to me, this feels like my setting my kids up to have yet one more person be wishy washy in their life and I feel like it is my fault.
That seems like a lot of projection especially for someone who for all this time was a “friend”.

Is it possible that in the few weeks that you needed time to figure things out, you figured a future life with him and now you are feeling hurt about a romantic relationship that may not happen?
