Fix FWB situation!

So, I (28F) am 8 months separated, not quite divorced yet. Obviously, I hadn't had sex in quite a while, and wasn't having sex very often before that. So, I did what people do in 2020 and got on tinder to find a FWB situation. I matched with a super attractive guy (34M), and ended up going over to his house. We hung out a bit and hooked up. It went really well, so we did it a few more times. Well, besides for the amazing sex, I like everything about this guy. He's funny. He's a hobby mechanic and we'd spend most of our time in his garage fixing things when we weren't fucking, which is something I really miss from when I was younger. We have the same taste in music. We both have kids, and oddly our sons have the same name. We even have the same freaking favorite soda. I love his house and how he's decorated it... I think the only other place I've felt that comfortable, at-home feeling, is in the mountains. It has a bit of a shop lobby feeling, and idk why, it's just very comfortable for me. And he is too, I've never been that immediately comfortable with someone, like sexually, I'm more comfortable with him than I ever was with my husband even.Anyway, so after about a month, maybe a little longer, I find out he's involved in some stuff that I can't be around. Like, illegal stuff, which I won't have my kids around. Nothing terrible, but illegal nonetheless. So I just told him "I'm starting to actually like you, and kinda hoping this could turn into something more, but I can't be around that too much. If it's a temporary thing for extra money, cool. If not, I still want to hook up, but it probably won't be a long term thing". Next day, he hasn't responded, so I text him again, and he pretty much says he doesn't know what to say. I said that's cool, I just wanted to be upfront about what I'm thinking, but I'm cool with still doing what we're doing for a while. That was Tuesday, it's now Friday night. I'm supposed to have a babysitter late on Monday, and I still haven't heard from him, so I texted today asking if I should still come over Monday, and he hasn't responded.Logically, I know I should just drop it and forget about this guy. I assume he didn't know what to say, because it's not a temporary thing, and that makes any chance of a relationship impossible. But I really don't want to give this up yet, and I'm kicking myself for saying anything. I've never in my life had orgasms like I do with him, I've never wanted someone as much as I do him, and I've never just vibed with someone like this. Even if it's only what it is as a FWB, I don't want it to end yet.Have I totally screwed the whole situation by saying anything, or is this salvageable? And how do I fix it? via /r/relationship_advice https://ift.tt/35rz3hD
