Your client/friend is feeling very lonely and looking to fill that gap in his life, as you are showing him attention he thinks you are interested, I used to talk a lot to different males etc and they take chatting and caring as being a come on, thats men for you, they take a while to settle into being alone after being in a relationship, they are looking to be looked after but that passes in time for most men.
Now I suggest that you say how much you want to help but in no way do you want a relationship ( that is unless you do) You will have to be firm and even suggest things he can do to occupy himself and maybe meet some one suitable, make it very clear how happy you are and you do not want those sort of advances, being blunt in a nice way is the only way otherwise you will string him along and it could get worse. Good luck

;D i know but i was gobsmacked

That happened to me, and I'm afraid my reaction was to step back very quickly, look him straight in the eye and say 'I'm happy with the man I have, but thank you for the complement.' He never did it again and we remained friends, and subsequently found another lady who was free to love him. I most certainly would not have hugged him.

Never had this problem, but I imagine next time you see him, he will be one of two things:
1. Embarrassed, in which case accept any apology and suggest he finds a group to join with interests the same as his or something similar
2. Shows no remorse and tries again, in which case give it to him straight (verbally I mean), he can obviously take it,and a slap if necessary!
Sadly if it is the latter he is not the man you thought your friend was married to.
