Suppose you have a friend(married) to whom you talk on phone everyday. Both like each other alot. And consequently due to your attractive personality and friendly behaviour, it can happen that your friend, fall in love with you and you also feel the same way. One day If he proposes you for a date, Will you accept it?

I will never date a married person. Even if I really like the guy, I don't want to be a home wrecker. As they say there are many fish in the sea, so I'll just focus my attention on someone who is single.

If it`s a friendly date and that married person is a family`s friend.. why not? right? but if its a date w/ certain hidden agendas... hmm... a big no! :) You might ruin their relationship.

True,a friendly date will be okay,but some hidden agenda,it's not right anymore.You have to value your relationship.You have to respect your wife/husband.

This is not so unheard of. I have actually dated a married person before. Knowing that he was married i did have to keep in mind that there was no future in it. It had to be just for fun. My intentions were never to take him from his family.

of course not.... Hey, if you and I were married, and a girl proposed we go out for a date, would it be ok with you if I accepted? Ok... well, that other person has a spouse. Pretend you were in their spouses position. What would you want the other person to do? Most of lifes biggest questions can be easily answered by flipping the question around, and ask, would I want done to me, what I'm doing to that other person? If you would not want done to you, what you are considering doing to someone else... hint: don't do it. We have a saying in the US. It goes like this. "If he can cheat with you, he can cheat on you". What that means is, if a man has no problem cheating on his wife with you, then he'll have no problem cheating on you with someone else. My experience has been that the people I've seen who cheat with others, tend to end up cheated on. So no... No I would not cheat with someone who asked, and honestly I'd likely end that friendship because clearly that person has an immorality problem, so why hang out with a cheater?

No way Jose...never. He'd have to be separated or in the process of divorce before I'd consider it.

I don't know yet coz we don't really know what's gonna happen in the future. But if the two indivivduals are loving, why not! There's nothing wrong with that. What's important is what you both feel and not what others think about you. ^_^

I would not feel comfortable dating a married person. There is no future in it. they are already bound to another both emotionally and legally. I would want to date someone who did not have any other relationship ties. How can you build anything on something that can never be yours?

monalily, you're still young. Don't waste your life falling for a married guy. Think of it this way, how would you feel if your husband dates another woman? Wouldn't it be painful? Stop what you are doing right now before both of you are tempted to do something stupid. Yes there is will be no harm done dating him but one thing leads to another. You mentioned you both like each other. Somehow, if you insisted to continue your communications with him, you are bound to become a mistress. Would you want that? Ask that to your self. Think a hundred times before doing something.

No. I came from a broken family so I know the feeling when one of your parent decide to leave your family for another person. There are plenty of Single People in the WORLD. It will only give pain to the family and you'll end up playing with fire and be called a HOME WRECKER. My opinion may sound too harsh but its reality. Its best that you remain friends rather than fall in love with each other. But I guess sometimes selfishness and lust gets in the way. If you truly like each other wait for him/her to mend his/her family and do not come between it.. And seriously, if he/she can do it on the family that he has right now and fall in love with another easily that means that he/she can easily do that as well again and again.

Very well said freymind. That is so true. If he can do that to his wife, he can easily do that to a mistress.

hello monalily, If it is a date as it is, I won't. But if it's just a simple "going out" why not? Considering that we are friends and thinking how close we are, sometimes love is out of the way. If he imposes his feeling, of loving me and wanting me to be his other woman, then I'll drop it. Not only the proposal of dating him but also having him as a friend. We cannot be friends anymore if he has fallen for me already, right? And feeling something for him I guess is not enough for me to be out of my mind and let him ruin his family. I've in that situation couple of times. And I guess, game is a game. They don't mean it. Unless you take it that way and give in to it. :-)

No, I wouln´t. Family is sacred. I think when you make a commitement with someone you shoul respect it. But if the marriage is not doing well and there is no way to work it out, then you should solve this issue first, before envolving someone else in your life.

Going out is nothing compared to the fact that you are inviting his advances by talking on the phone every day. You are letting him think you are agreeable to him being a cheat. This is not a good man or someone a good person wants to be involved with. Shame on the woman who goes along with this sort of thing.

Exactly I wouldn't be able to date a person who is married because Family is sacred and no one should break that commitment with an affair. Mosisa said it perfectly if the man fell in love with someone else or has issues within the marriage then he needs to work them out.

I would never accept the invitation to date a married person. I would never even allow my friendship to go that far with a married person. It is immoral and unfair to the person's spouse. A married person should never try to form a friendship outside of his marriage that could lead to such a relationship. If the married person is so in love with the friend they would leave the marriage and then try to pursue another relationship. It is NEVER ok to pursue a relationship with a married person.

This will never happen on me because I am very serious in this aspect. I won't date with anybody who has a girlfriend already or he is married. I have my own principles. It is very bad behavior to damage another family. I don't believe in any excuses. People can't be so selfish. If you know he is married, then you shouldn't go to the first step. You should keep away from this person. I love China

Yes, if I'm married to her. But all jokes aside, I have been to lunch with married friends as coworkers. I do feel jittery sometimes. But I have no intentions on messing with a married woman.

No way. If he will cheat with you he will cheat on you. Once a cheater always a cheater. I would not put a "friend" in that position. He said vows to his wife, he needs to man up and tell her he is interested in another woman, it is the least that she deserves. Are you ready to end his marriage. Take a step back. take your friendship away and see if he actively pursues you, after he has left and fully divorced his wife.
