Now here's the situation, you fall head over heels in love with a fine young man and both of u r very happy. Now all of a sudden, a woman knocks on ur door, and asks you to stay out of their life, and stop hanging aroung her husband, who is the same man ur in love with. What would u do in such a position?

Here is what I did. Yep did. I was involved for several months with a man who said he was going thru a divorce. I knew how that was since I too was going thru one. One weekend he stayed at my place. During that weekend a young girl called and asked me "will you please tell Daddy to come home, mommy misses him!" I was shocked. It seems the guy wasn't getting divorced, he just wanted an affair and even had the nerve to TELL his wife where he was spending his weekend! Needless to say I kicked him out on his @ss, and never saw him again.

Yup, im glad too , may b i would have done the same thing too....but believe me, some women just dont care about other families, and dont care that this man is cheating either!

Well if I were in that situation I'd back off. There are other men out there, many of them happen to be single and not liars. If you stay with a married man you are only hurting yourself. Even if he does leave his wife, which most of the time he won't, but if he does... whats stopping him from doing the same thing to you? Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Yeah! thats my fav verse, once a cheater always a cheater! So i find it difficult to understand y many women trust cheaters and give them chances.

Dunno about that. A cheater can not be always a cheater. It all goes down to the person who wants to really change for the better. There are indeed a few good people out there. Nevertheless, it is hard to forgive a cheater and harder to trust them at the same time. In this case, I would say that the guy is not worth it.

I would veriify that this woman really was his wife and do exactly what she asked you to. . A man who is cheating on his wife is not a good man in my opinion. Sure, maybe he's not "bad" - but to be that dishonest with you and the wife signals something is wrong with him and that likely you're just going to go through a whole lot of pain for nothing, which isn't "real love".

First, I'm going to kick myself in the butt, for having fallen in love with such a louse. I'd hate it too, if my boyfriend or husband fools around behind my back. Next, I'd have to do what the wife said - stay out of their lives. I think before scooting off, I'd slap him around a bit, for having cheated me!

Yeah, thast the best thing, to question ourselves and to be careful the next time, and then making him feel he made a wrong choice.

hey keep_onwatch, I am really not a big fan of this type of relationship where a guy could not control themselves and lie to a girl that he has never had any girlfriend before. I think if I am in your position, I will definitely leave him. However, I am not you and I do not know how much you love this man and how much are you willing to forgive him for lying to you initially. It is really up to you but the smart choice is leaving him.

hey der koha....im not in such a situation, some1 i know is...anf if i were my only choice is to leave that liar. But the person who is in this situation, cannot imagine her life without that cheat, which is so depressing, once a cheater, always a cheater...

I know a friend who is like your friend too. When a girl loves a guy, sometimes she will ignore everything so that she could be with the guy because when most girls fall in love, they fully devote herself to the lover.

I agree with all of you. But most women of the world just can't have their own men because in most places, men are outnumbered for so many reasons like wars, tons of bad habits, etc... Some women fell for married men and some on gays or what we call AC/DC. Which is worst?
• India
5 Jul 08
R u serious? if thats the case, i would rather go without a man in my life than to share him, or be in such a lowly position as a second choice. So i guess you know which is worst.

Hmmm...so you're saying that it's like a case of choosing which is the lesser evil of the two -- but basing on whose standards?
• United States
5 Jul 08
See, I would never be the other woman because I am greedy. I have to have my man all to myself. I would never share him with any other woman. Honestly, I know that I might sound selfish, but I have known women who have shared their men with other women and it was brutal. Wondering if he loves you more than the other woman? Are you more important than she is? Does he love her more than he loves you? My mother was the other woman in all of her relationships, and I swore not to let that happen to me. I will be greedy with my man, and I do not care.
• India
5 Jul 08
Hey, i dont think thats being greedy at all, thats the way life should be, just one man for one woman! I just dont know, why its okay fora man to have two women or even 3 in his life, and its like a no big deal, and a woman cant.

Obviously the smart thing to do is to dump the man. If the woman is telling the truth, the man is a liar and a very hurtful deceptive person. Who needs that in their life?

As I explained to a friend of mine concerning who he should allow his teenaged daughter to associate with or date. Falling in love is often an irrational thing without reason. Often we can not control it, though most will fall in love with someone. If you limit yourself or your children to only associating with decent people than when that time comes that you or they become uncontrolably attracted to someone, at least it is likely to be someone worthy.

Yeah, but what i just wrote is the real life of a person i know, and she still says she cant get over him, and she is now trynna break-up the marriage, and asking the husband to divorce his wife. And she says she cant live without him! without that liar! i just dont get some ppl.

The only thing is to rectify the mistake as soon as possible, I will definately detach myself from the persons as a person fooling his wife can fool anyone. All these talks of love I feel are rubbish in such cases.Next time I would definately be careful about the man I start liking and will check if he is married or not.
• India

Yeah, i absolutely agree with u.And an experience like that would definetly make us more careful next time....

That is really a difficult question. It is never easy to just walk out on a relationship like that. Anyway, the first thing that I am going to do is to talk to the guy and ask him if the woman was telling the truth. If it is true, then the three of us, will have to talk about the whole thing like matured people who are forced to deal with this kind of situation. Yeah, I may have to give up the guy and give him back to his wife if he wants to go back to her. If not, then, he will just have to ask his wife for a divorce.
• India
6 Jul 08
Yeah, most of the guys do want to go bk to their wives, and if not, there will always lie a lie for the start of that relationship,and who knows, he might do it again.......

Hello onwatch, how have you been? I think I would reverse this story and say if I were the other man..what would I do. If a man confronts me suddenly to stay out of his wife's life, I would firstly tell him the situation that I am not aware at all that his wife is his wife. Get what I mean. I wouldn't want him to get away knowing that I'm the one who is having an illicit affair, where in actual case, I am unknowingly being led on to believe that his wife is open property. So if he still insists that he is right, I would proceed to ask him to bring his wife, and the 3 of us would talk about it openly. I'm daring like that, ha! That's what I would do if I'm innocent in this case. I wouldn't start an affair with a marriage woman, that's like off limits, total totally.

Hey there, how r u doing? howz work going? Yeah starting off knowing she is married is not a good start, though, believe me, some do ....and well that takes a lot to have all 3 of u talk it out, well in either case, i dont think all 3 would agree, but thats the best thing to do.

That would be the most horrible thing to happen! I'm assuming the man had told me he wasn't involved with anyone, let alone married? I would tell the woman I had no idea he was married, and I'm really sorry. Then I would tell the man he was a lying, cheating toad and the relationship was over - even though I was in love with him.
• India
5 Jul 08
Yeah, thats exactly what is needed. Just that kick and a lesson he would never forget.

I think I actually would. Stay out of their life I mean. I would feel betrayed thatthe guy didn't tell me he was married and he told me lies. That is not the right thing to do if you enter a relationship... And because I wouldn't want to feel more hurt bymore lies he would probably tell me to justify the previous lies. SO yeah. I would leave and tell him not to call me.

Of course , te lies and the betrayal, its so very sad when ppl do those things to us.

hi friend: If i were the woman,i will ask the man whether or not she is his wife and how is the relationship between them. If the man said yes,and they are in good relationship, i will leave the cheater without a thought. If he said yes,but they have been aparted or divorced with broken feeling.I think I just did what i should with the man. My opinion is if no love any more between a man and a woman,why not leave? good luck to you.
• India
6 Jul 08
Yeah, what u said is right, but that should have been ,mentioned by him, before starting a realtion, that he is going through all of it. finding out later, is definetly lying...
• Philippines
4 Jul 08
i know it would be very difficult if it will happen to me but i think i know what the right thing to do is. i would leave him behind and move with my life. knowing that he betrayed his wife will make me feel bad for breaking up a family.
• India

Yeah thats the wise choice, breaking up a marriage is way outta question, firstly, we cannot trust a liar and a cheat.
@piasabird (1737)

I would leave her husband alone. And I would be very angry at him for being so deceitful. Usually once a cheater always a cheater. How would I ever trust him? Women really should have more respect for themselves and for each other and not mess with married men once they find out the man is married.
• India
4 Jul 08
Yeah, i do agree, but the sad thing is, i know aperson who is still in love with the same married man, who cant leave his wife.

First I wouldfind out for sure that this woman is indeed marriedto my fellow, then I would kick him to the curb so fast he would notknow what had hit him, dont let the door hit you in the behind, goodby and do not come back.

yeah but i guess its difficult not to b hurt, when some 1 u love turns out to be a cheat in all aspects.

Well, once I was over the initial shock, I would tell her to 'Come on, lets go confront him.' and watch him squirm while he tried to explain.

I have to admit I was 'The Other Woman'. It is not a good thing to get involved with a married man or woman. If they tell you they have a void in their life that needs filled....tell them to get a puppy!

Yeah, exactly....a puppy would be the best thing...thanx 4 ur comment
