Started talking to a married woman about a month ago. Ended up meeting up and having sex. We both enjoyed ourselves. After we continued having good convo. Anyway, she started telling me she was attached and that she missed me a lot. So yesterday I told her that I needed some time to think things through because I am confused, and she said that she'd give me my space. I think I dodged a bullet because what I did was morally wrong in my opinion for a few reasons. However, I have talked to people that say they a use a breakup as a strategy for their end game. What do ya'll think?

Are you asking if we think SHE is using you as a breakup strategy for her marriage?

I would doubt that. It'd be easier and less dramatic to just simply leave the guy, wouldn't it?

No, that's not what I mean.

Break up strategy.. as in break up with a girl so she validates herself.

In this situation, I'm not pursuing her anymore, but it felt good breaking up with her.. as in it gave me power.

I'd heard a little about break up a strategy before and might use it next time. So looking for insight in that regard.

ie.. telling her I need time/ space
