TIFU by thinking I was stronger than my addiction when I replied to his DM

These mistakes happen. Sex is more than just transactional for anybody who isn’t a full time sex worker. It’s hard to keep control of yourself when your mind and body have developed a pattern despite your best efforts.

In a situation like this I’d break that pattern by sending your honest thoughts through a DM and ask him to stop contacting you. Him knowing the truth should make it easier to reject his advances if you’re ever face to face again. You’ll have already shared your thoughts, and will only need to reiterate them. If he continues to contact you, just suggest that this isn’t worth losing his family over and he’ll likely realize he’s going too far.
