I fell in love with a straight dude when I was a teenager. He is "off limit," especially now that we are both grown up and he has a wife and 2 kids.

Why especially now? He wasn't less straight before.

EDIT: As in, if he is straight he wouldn't be interested in men regardless of where in his life he is.

He's married and has 2 kids. Getting involved with married people is extra taboo for me, and we are both grown....this type of magical thinking is the type of thing you need to leave behind as a teenager. Understanding that some people aren't for you (and never will be) is part of growing up, and an inability to understand that is what plagues a lot of these stories.
