<human>: Long time lurker. Asking reddit for the obvious. I  know the answer. Asking anyway. Had a bit to drink. I'm usually professional and contained. 

I've been sort of flirting with a work colleague for a while now. Tonight we went for drinks in circumstances where he didn't have time or should obviously have been doing other things (lawyer, big case).  We have chemistry. About 3/4 through the night he said "I'm in love with my wife". What am I to take from that. We were flirting, it was obviously going in a direction. Is he telling me or himself that this is a no go. Or trying to convince himself.  Or both. I feel like i was getting conflicting messages. I made a move to leave soon after. There is no reason for him to hang out with me absent some flirting / relationship motive. He's been married over 20 years. I've never cheated or been in this type of situation. Did I mention the chemistry? What is going on.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: tonight I had a flirtatious drink with a work colleague that dropped an "I'm in love with my wife" bomb. Is he messaging me or himself or both.
