I would try my hardest to stop my feeling and not to destroy the friendship, as for me friendship is more important and I don't want to be the cause of a broken relationship. If I could not stop my feeling, I would try to avoid them, and only meet them wen necessary.

Nope. I would not even consider dating someone a friend has dated, just to avoid any feelings my friend might have. In a marriage, very intimate things go on and I would not want to have that with someone I am not married to, nor would I want to come between a couple who has that.

My friends, and my character are high on my list to preserve. Not only would I not want to hurt anyone, I want to be trustworthy so people are comfortable around me. People of high character are drawn to those cut from the same cloth.

Never ever destroy a friendship no matter what. When you meet a person and once you know they are taken, always mindset yourself that you will only be friends with that person no matter what. Because once you have that feeling for that person you would definitely not take that feeling back. How could you? But as my friends would say, you can never tell especially with the matters of your heart. Mindset yourself on matter with love because if you fall for it, it would definitely be hard for you to put yourself together once you are stuck in this so called being intimate with a married person. As I have told my friends who are involved in these such things, be happy for as long as you do not step on anyones' life. Be involved for the right reasons but then again for as long as you are not taken for granted and vice versa then go.

Although you're not friend of her/him, you shouldn't be intimate with their spouse. It's crimes! And your crimes will be too heavy if he/her is your friend!

It's true that sometimes we can't dictate our hearts who to love. But it is not worth destroying a friendship for someone who is already married. You will not be totally happy knowing that you've hurt someone dear to you. You should not take away someone's happiness in order to find yours.

No I could not consider someone taken to be interested in. I would refrain because I can't imagine hurting a friend. I suppose my thought would be that I do not want to be in that persons shoes. I don't feel it is worth the risk.
I know that life sometimes can be unpredictable and one can fall for someone who they should not but my thinking would be to not do so because a love can come and go but a friend somehow can be with us longer term. ![](/Content/images/emotes/sad.gif)

Never, all friends I lost was because of circunstances (lost adress when I moved), they were interested in some help and then were gone or I ended because the girl was phony. I never started, I find friendship one of the most important things in life, just right there with love.

no...it's not worth it at all!
first...the one you like is already taken,have a wife and will build there own family and for sure they truly love each other.
second...both of them are your friends, and i know that you will not be happy to destroy someones relationship, don't you?
lastly...i think you need to find someone whose not committed with anybody for you to feel the real happiness of having someone you love.
what you feel right know can be avoided, all you have to do is to tell yourself that he is not suit for you because he already committed with somebody.

i probably suggest not to go into deeper trouble if he/she is married let them go especially if their partner is your friend, you wouldn't want the scandal of having a relationship with someone who's already married plus look at the scenario you lost a friend and what would be your stand if this issue was scattered to other people. find someone who's available, less complication and less heartaches

Friendship plays a very important role in our life, the number and kinds of friends we have may create a considerable impact on how we get along in life. Just as a strong foundation forms a solid basis for a building, the relationships we have with others provide a social support structure that can give stability and strength. For those I've mentioned, I cannot destroy our friendship just because I have feeling for her husband, I can sacrifice my feeling but I can't sacrifice our friendship.

Hi sender: Definetly no. I thing that's dirty and bad. We are rational and we need to control our feelings. The more you think about this, the more you'll get obsessed. If something like this would happend to me I'll try to get over this and think about another girl. There are too many fish on the sea to be obsessed for a married woman, specially when this woman is my best friend's spouse. I really value my friendships, I have a little number of friends but they are real friends and I won't do anything that I know it wil destroy my friendship.

If you think that the strong bond of your friendship is at stake better take a distance from your friend. True enough that you can not dictate the heart but it is just an organ inside of you that no matter what, you still have the feet to step backward towards the right path carrying the body where the heart lies and so the heart can do nothing if your mind and conscience dictates the sinless decision. Feel and see what will the outcome of your heart's choice would be while it is still early.
