There are many other woman trapped in a situation where it is difficult to get out. I have a friend that in love in a married guy who is 20 yrs older. She know that the guy is married and told her frankly that he could not offer marriage.
She was aware that this will not lead to anything but trouble; that it will ruin her future. But they are very much in love with other.
Did you meet this kind of situation? How did you handle it?

Yes, I am familiar with this situation...all too familiar unfortunately, as I deal with this myself. About ten years ago, I had this thing going with a girl in my town...thing is, she was "taken" at the time, so it was kind of a keep your distance thing we had going. After I left for the navy, got married, and got out 7 years later, we moved back home. That girl still lives here with her own little girl. I have my own family with three great kids, that I wouldn't trade for the world.
Me and my friend are pretty much just that...friends. We like each other a lot, and under different circumstances, such as if I were single, we would probably be pretty close. But instead, it is the same keep your distance relationship we had before I left for the service. Sucks, but yes, I still have feelings for her. Nothing I can do about that except keep my body in check...self discipline is the key here. No matter how much your friend may want something to happen, IF something ever were to happen, it would ruin a lot of people's trust in each other...
Hope I helped!

i agree with u, sunilparthan. she should get out of that relationship now. no matter how one sees it, she is always on the losing end. she will only end up in trouble once the wife of her boyfriend knows about it. she should respect herself and give herself a chance to find someone she deserves.

yes she should get out from it, because for sure in the future she will never be happy and yet she can more ruin her life, and not only her life but also the life of the kids and the whole family.. she should not think only for herself but think also others, specially on this situation.. this is kinda hard and really a big one to fix out..

[b]The married man made vows. He should keep them. How could anyone ever trust a person who was willing to lie to God? The woman should realize that if he thinks that's okay, how much more likely is he to lie to her? He's also lying to his spouse.
If they cheat on their spouses, they'll cheat on you.

[b]Thank you. Did you see my comment to you, I believe in that thread about old couples holding hands? You're pretty rare yourself.

[b]Don't forget the sea of swooning violins' music.
As to where the birth certificate is, well, it is a fact that the Kenyan government has files on the Big O that they keep under lock & key, & guarded.
One poster said he thought it was probably deep in a dirt hole somewhere, with big, heavy rocks piled on top. "We'll never get to see it," he said.
Could be...could be...!

hello feodda,
I hope you make plans to help this friend of yours get a date with some one. i don't think it's healthy when it comes to a women falling in love with a married man. either he divorce his wife and choose her or simply just let him go. this will undoubtedly destroy their marriage, or creates a scandal or something. i guess it's different when you're in their shoes, it doesn't matter they're inlove with each other.

you need to find out what this married guy wants if he wants to be with you or he just wants to play around.

I could say that the guy is just playing around with the emotions of my friend. I have as my friend on this, she just tell me that the guy has no plan to marry her and leave the family. He just use my friend for pleasure. I don't want that to happen to my friend, I always try my best to convince her to be out of it.

The Guy Must Be Thanking His Stars As The Girl Is Offering Herself With Absolutely No Commitment Whatsoever .. I Have Never Had A Physical Or An Emotional Relationship With A Married Lady(AM A Man) .. It IS Wrong Morally and Ethically To be Attached To A Married Person According To Me .. Thank You For Reading My Views ..

I am in love with a married guy, but he isn't in love with me, so i don't hope anymore. i still love him and i'll love him forever. i just know where to stand. i think that woman should just forget him or if she can't, just don't ruin the marriage of that man.

I have not come across such a situation but it would be better if the girl ignored him and look for someone else because the guy is already married and he is twenty years older.She can look for a person who has the same face or same features.If the guy was divorced and staying single then ho could consider your friend.Ask your friend to pray to God to give her wisdom so that she takes a decision in choosing a good life partner.

I have not had this happen to me but it has happened in my family. Even under the best of conditions is causes pain. I don't know what happens to the men, only what happens to the women.

I know it will be hard, but she needs to let him go. It is not fair to her. This man is going to keep living his life as normal. He has a family that he does not intend to leave. I know she may love this man and he may love her back, but if he is not willing to be with her than she needs to let him go. She will eventually find somebody who will give her 100% devotion.

Hello feodda,
I never experienced that kind of situation, I don't think I will engage in that kind of relationship. As you said, it will cause nothing but trouble, so to save myself of hurt and trouble I will just cut the relationship while it is just new. It would be hard, but making the relationship longer would just make the situation harder. I hope your friend will listen to your advice to get out of the relationship as early as possible.
Have fun!

Hello
I have never been through this myself, but I know enough to know that your friend will end up with her heart broken,she should really consider ending things before the situation becomes to hard for her to bare and she does something she may regret.
Thank you.

Hello this type of situation is not common but your friend should realize this, first of all the guy is married, second 20 yrs older, so sexually mismatch too, one day or other it will break, so tell her to stop this, look for a guy of right age and unmarried, i was in Cebu i heard similar stories there
Happy posting, cheers

If the guy was honestenough in the beginning and she still fell for him , there is nothig to do or say.She went into this with her eyes open.I wouldn't judge. Me, I rather be the mistress than the wife. Knowing I wouldn't Have to marry is ideal for me. but if your friend thinks she can change his mind and she will eventually marry him, then she Is wasting her time.

I haven't experienced being in that situation but my father has a mistress for almost 3 years now. They have 2 children. His mistress was aware that my father already has a family but she still pursued her relationship with my father. I don't know how some women decide to have a relationship to someone already married.

Hi feodda, thank goodness I have never been in such situation, but then I would never put my self in it. Why not? because I would be cheating both ways [ my self and the other woman] [ which she does not deserve it]if I ever meet a guy like that! I will run a mile believe me!this man does not deserve his wife, hi is a cheater and a lier and you know what? if I was your friend I would tell him to shove [ his love] where the sun does not shine, if you know what I mean?

Can I just tell you something, he's not in love with her. If he was he'd leave his wife and they wouldn't have to hide their relationship. Tell your friend this isn't going anywhere and she should end it. I do agree there's a lot of situations out there where marriages break up and honestly it's hard to decide to leave. But people do it and your friend has to too.
