Hi PhoenixGirl! You have the absolutely perfect thing to say, completely logical and easy to present as not a personal commentary on your feelings for him: That you simply can't/won't tolerate this classically tragic scenario. This is even one case where after breaking up with someone, it would be less guilt-inducing to never even take one more phone call from him again, since obviously you are just "protecting yourself," "being strong," and doing what's right for everyone concerned (if you factor in the wife and/or family). ;-)
Then again... You'd have to hope he wouldn't "prove" his seriousness to you by going ahead and leaving his wife, since a few actually do. But the statistics on that are definitely on your side. ;-)
> Well, not because of the posts so much, but just from thinking about it, I'm not so thrilled about the guy. I think I got caught up in emotions and needing to love someone because I just lost my job. I confused that with love. I want to be friends with the man, but that is all. Now I don't know how to tell him.
