Is this friendship in danger of getting a new level even at long distance and he麓s married and I麓m committed?

I met a guy a year ago in some office meeting, we were more like polite and stuff. He was visiting town then left to his state. I麓m in a relationship and he麓s married (2nd one as I found out)
We became in touch by email, the truth we talked about our families (I don麓t have kids but he does), share pictures, jokes thoughts, whatever friends may do.
I didn麓t told my BF cuz I didn麓t thought it mattered, and I guess he didn麓t with his wife for the same reason or else he would mention her sending regards to me as I to to her through him.
He haven麓t send pics of family only his, but recently this communications are becoming a little more frecuent and even though he said to me the other he enjoys our friendship and communications IDK if this is turning into something dangerous. Should I tell my BF about this friendship or leave it like that.How can I know if it麓s to worry or OK?

It takes two to make it dangerous. The likely success of his second marriage is only a fraction of what it was for his first one. Success rates of second marriages are always less. He may be unhappy.

An unhappily married man can always entertain the idea of a better relationship with someone else. It's easier if he has a female friend. Even if she's married, the question of 'what could have been' can always creep in.

You can set the tone of your online relationship by making it clear to him and yourself what kind of boundries need to be in place. Knowing this ahead of time will be like a NO TRESPASSING sign for both of you.

Don't trust men to set a boundry. Our best intentions come with difficulty. We are predatory by nature and it's not always easy to stay civilized.

The best thing you can do now is to make the rule that one of you will never go to see the other or allow the other to come to see you.

Best Wishes

It's only dangerous if you are beginning to develop feelings for him. You are way too paranoid. Same, if he is developing feelings for you. At that time, you let him know that it's just a friendship and if expects more then it's time to end communication. People always jump the gun and lose good friendships this way, needlessly.

Time to end the friendship. He may be taking the fact that you are a nice person and just want to be friends and turning it into something else.

The boyfriend will never understand. So if you end it now you won't need to tell him anything. There wasn't anything wrong done on your end.

Let him go! Its not losing your bf over.

I would just stop talking to the guy so he isnt thinking about or have an opportunity to cheat on his wife. At least not with you, so you dont have to deal with all that drama with the wife, and i wouldnt say anything to your bf unless u still plan on talkin to him.

this is inappropriate. some part of you knows this or you wouldn't be questioning if you should tell your bf or not, your bf would already know. please don't be another woman for any man, because you don't want another woman in your bf's life.

as long as it stays a friendship that's ok. he may just need someone to talk to. everyone needs an outlet. but if you're feeling uncomfortable, then slack off or totally make it quits. just let your friend know the reason.

This could turn into an emotional affair which hurts just as much as a physical one. Stay away don't be a victim

let him share photos with his wife. dont be the other woman

well you can't tell your boyfriend now due to the fact that you didn't tell him in the beginning and this has been going on for awhile and if he finds out now then he is going to be mad and your best bet is to start ignoring his emails if he is getting alittle to close for comfort and if that bothers you to do that then let him know that you are just friends and that you already in a realtionship and so on

time to tell your bf and also to stop answering his emails.

so this is what you do, just say, there is this married guy he seems a little too friendly, what a sleeze! i hate cheaters. his poor wife! we all know or have been approached by guys trying to cheat, so it's not like a randomly strange thing that happened, this is something pretty common, so just tell the bf about the sleezeball.

and then just don't answer his emails, or wait like a week to respond to one, then keep it short and sweet, that you are busy and so hard to keep in touch with everyone.

let a few emails come and go and just eventually don't answer any of them at all. same as the annoying geek that you never liked from high school. you just blow him off. wont take him long to get the message that you don't have time for his crap.

and don't be afraid to show your bf the emails if one of them is really inappropriate, it's better that you show it to him than for him to find it accidentally when you forget to logout one day.

can't you just "block" his email? that would be the best thing to do.

It sounds like a normal friendship to me. I don't see anything wrong with it whatsoever.
If this was a female, you wouldn't have any misgivings would you, so why be hung up about it just because it's a male friend. It's lovely to share news, thoughts, jokes, pictures, etc with friends ... and it is normal for a friend to acknowledge that they enjoy the friendship ... please don't overthink it or read too much into that. As for the frequency of communication, it generally comes in fits and starts depending upon how busy one is at that time in their life - he has time for you, that's nice, as long as it's not tampering with his marriage, and I doubt that that's the case. He does talk about his family with you, so it's not as though he's trying to hide it. I wouldn't worry about anything with him.
The one thing that is a problem though, is the fact that you haven't disclosed this friendship to your boyfriend - you do need to do that. He will be far more upset about it if he stumbles across it, but if you are upfront with him and explain that this is just one of your email friends, there shouldn't be a problem unless he's terribly insecure. The more open you are about it, the better you'll feel about it, and the more reassured your boyfriend will be.
Best Wishes.
