A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

About a month ago I was out havin drinks with a friend of mine. we met two guys at a bar and started havin great convo. at the end of the nite we kissed and i got his number 2 days later i sent him a text and 2 days later i got a response. later on we talked on the phone.we met up hung out for a bit an things got a lil hot and heavy. so i figured since he approached me he was single. wrong. he has been married for 10 yrs and has children. tells me he got married cus his now wife got pregnant and he has been unhappy for quite some time. so i stopped contact for awhile and called him about a wk later and he tells me o i thought u decided to get rid of me, then tells me he misses me..although u are not supposed to miss ur mistress. he is currently on vacation with his family but told me i cud call his phone whenever to leave voicemails.. and he is lookin forward to seeing me when he gets back. the cell number is his work number that he says i can call anytime no one looks at it. i know this is a bad situation and i tell myself i am not goin to contact him.. but i cant stop thinkin about him. if he is so easily lyin to his wife how am i supposed to believe anythin he says, i have asked him this b4 and his response was he has no reason to lie to me. on the other hand i can believe it, maybe he truly is unhappy and is honest with me. its hard to tell. in a sense i dont want to furthe the situation, and in another sense i do. help..

All the advice in the world won't stop the one who's in love with the married man right now. It's so easy to say.. "walk out.. he will never leave his wife" but who's to know? Why are we lumping all married guys into one basket? Yes, we know it's one of the most difficult things to do.. to walk out on your family, but heck.. some guys will. So, if you're unlucky enough to have been involved with a married guy, my advice to you is this.. Listen to what he is not telling you. Judge for yourself and listen to every single voice in your head and be true to yourself. If you even remotely feel that he's leading you on, leave. If you think there's a chance, keep talking to him to know his plans. That's all I can say.

eyeswideopen agony auntHere's what you will never experience together with your married man: no Christmas Day, no Thanksgivings, no Valentine's Days, no children (if you do get knocked up the kid won't have access to Daddy 24-7), no enitre family get togethers or reunions, the list goes on. And on that cold Christmas Eve, way in the future, while you sit alone wondering why you wasted the best years of your life, he'll be sitting on the couch cuddling with his wife, looking at the Christmas tree, and laughing about what darling things the grandkids did that day.

My advise is...don't ever dare think about it.

It's perfect time you posted your question here before you proceed with anything. So many women at first thought that its okay to get involved with a married man because it's just for fun and nothing serious. They can quit anytime they want. Blah blah blah. But so few or no one at all leaves an affair like this without getting hurt. No matter what you say, it will mess up your life and you end up hurt.

If you doubt it, just read the hundreds of posts here and you will see what kind of heartache this has brought to so many people. How many lives it messed. Save yourself! You are lucky you can still get away from it!

Most importantly, please don't forget to put yourself in the wive's shoes. One day you will become a wife of somebody and for sure you will even kill anyone who intereferes with your marriage and tears it apart.

There are so many single men out there waiting for you to notice them.

Goodluck.

The "affair" scenario is always sooooooo similar - please go back and read some of the stories posted on here by people who have cheated, been the other woman or have been the victim of a cheating spouse. There is one common theme for all of them and that is pain - affairs lead to nothing but pain all round. There are no winners in these situations.

If this guy is so unhappy - and wants you so bad ask him to leave his wife and family - tell him that's the only way you will have a relationship with him. You don't need to be or deserve to be the other woman. I would put money on it that he won't leave his wife - but if he does may you live happily ever after.

your a single woman you can have any single man out there you want,why would you want to chase after this bored married man? all youll be to him is a good time at his convenience, do you think youll ever be able to call him up when you want to see him? it will be all down to him, when he can have a sneaky few hours away from his wife and kids..

also there is kids involved they will be the ones that get hurt the most if your affair is found out, personally as someone who knows what its like to be the mistress, id get out of this situation fast before you fall in love with him

Honeygirl agony auntYou are not his first girlfriend and you wont be his last. He is a liar and a cheat and all he sees is free sex on the side with you.

If he was so unhappy in his marriage why stick around for 10 years???? Yes, I expect he does have problems in his marriage but instead of working them out with his wife, he picks up women in bars for sex!

LazyGuy agony auntHe has a reason to lie to you. The reason is between your legs. If he told you the truth "only want you as a piece of fuckmeat on the side with absolutly no strings attached" he would have far less change of getting between said legs.

A female reader, laura585 United States +, writes (10 July 2009):

There is a saying "they never leave their wives." You should think about that- obviously he IS being honest when he says he's unhappy with his marriage, otherwise you wouldnt even know his name. BUT that doesn't neccesarily mean that he will break up his home for you. He's been living unhappily married for 10 years, do you honestly believe you are his first affair? He's done this before, I'm sure of it, but he is still with his wife. He may indeed have feelings for you- but you are going to end up getting hurt when you get fed up with the secretiveness and give him an ultimatum- ultimately the chances are much higher he will choose his wife over you. Don't waste your time with this guy- if he isn't happy he needs to divorce his wife and THEN start dating. What he is doing is wrong on so many levels, do you really want to be "the other woman"? I wouldn't advise it. It's up to you, I hope you make the decent decision.

Girl run like hell. Who cares if he is telling the truth? He hasn't left his wife. If he's not happy, then he should leave. I just got out of this kind of situation, so I'm not making judgement on you. Your walking into a lot of hurt. First red flag is he has to many excuses, second unhappy people don't take vacations, and third he's coming to you on BS. A man that has something to offer a woman doesn't come at you with this kind of baggage. If you accept this situation, he will just come with more BS. At the end you will be just like rest of us hurt, and alone. You can read most people's article, and you will see 99% ending badly.
