sex help: I have a very messy relationship problem. - Help.com

I have a very messy relationship problem.

I’ve been married 2.5 yrs but sadly I’m now getting divorced. I also have a friend in the same situation altho he’s been married slightly longer. We’re both in our mid 20’s and neither of us have kids.
I’ll point out now that he’s a Christian who takes his faith very seriously. I’m not. That aside, we’re good friends with a hell of a lot in common.
We both got talking over the weekend about our situations and, to cut a long story short, over those two days friendly comforting soon turned into sex. We pretty much happily agreed afterward that this wouldn’t affect our friendship. We also agreed that it could happen again with no strings attached.
I’m ok with all of this. He’s a great guy who i care alot for and we both know our marriages are over. My problem is; we’re both technically still married and I’m worried about what effect all of this has had on him. He’s sensitive and I know it’d made him do alot of thinking but he’s not really talking about it. Because of his strong religious views I can’t really begin to imagine what he’s thinking about.

I feel like I’ve corrupted him or something… Any advice or Christian insight??

Unless you forced him to have sex, you didn’t corrupt him. He’s a big boy and can make his own decisions. Also, I don’t think he takes his faith as seriously as you think he does since a) he let it happen the first time, and b) he agreed that it could happen again with no strings attached. And no, I’m not judging him. But if you’re that concerned about how he’s feeling about it, then you don’t let it happen again.
