I think it’s important to know what fulfilment means to you. In this world both sides have very complicated and other lives so it’s a tricky balance of trust and respect mixed with lust and desire. All dusted in patience. Let minute cancellations hurried goodbyes and unanswered texts. But I’ve always tried to see it as an adventure, a journey to find that missing pet of my life and seek a companion willing to go on it with me. For as long as it lasts. Yes I’ve been ghosted and also had to tell someone it had to stop but I keep looking.

No, none of those, I think it is that people aren't clear enough about what they want...to themselves primarily, and then to the potential partners. When we have a clear intention we are more likely to find what were looking for xx

I’ve been seeing someone from the site for 9 months- I come here each day to read and sometimes participate on the forum, I totally agree that it’s nice to see other people doing what I do- having an affair is quite an isolated thing as you can’t tell anyone and for me feels like I’m living another life that nobody knows about so it does almost feel like a little support group!

@orchid1967 I think that is very true. An affair is maybe a fantasy so the partner is a fantasy too.
Just look at the descriptions. The person people are looking for are often the opposite of themselves.

I wonder why it is, we women (and I suspect men as well) don't seem able to find a suitable ie? Could we be too fussy, setting our standards far higher than the standard we have at home LOL?

I was lucky enough to meet someone straight away back in January 2019. The liaison lasted until December.
I came back onto the site mid January last year and lasted 4 weeks. Why! The site seemed to be populated with sugar boys, time wasters and the biggest scourge of them all players.
Since then I’ve only dipped in and out. I’ve had a couple of dates this year but they didn’t lead to “anything” for various reasons.
So I’m still searching for my Prince. But I’m definitely not going to be kissing any frogs along the way... lol.

You are so right!

I think we lose sight of what it was like when we were young free and single.....

@rosebud
You are absolutely right.
I’m still here……not looking for a lover but for the letters/comments.
I just enjoy the interaction with like minded people.
My profile is hidden and on the odd occasions i get a message I ALWAYS respond to explain my situation.
And yes….he knows how i love the letters!!!
So not arrogant or ignorant as someone suggested!!!

Remember back before we were married we had short and long-term relationships until that point were we thought we had found "the one".
My expectations are the same here. You may have to kiss a few frogs before you find your Prince/Princess.
So that is how I approach IE. However I'm also careful not to fall in love. Lust yes.
