You're still single and near hopeless to find a relationship. what if you come across someone and fell in love with that person- and found out that he/she's already married- but wants to have an affair with you- will you still consider it? why so?

No way. First of all he has a partner, and there is no way that i am going to hurt her. Second of all is he a child? what about taking responsibility with his own life, i am sure that if he can not cope with his wife, he can not ope with a lot of things in life. Third, he is not honest, and honesty is the first thing that i look in a person, so i do not think i will go for that. Fourth, Why should i be a third wheel in this complicated relationship. Fifth reason, i really think that i deserve a man that will be only with me. Sixth, if he did that with me, i am sure he will betray me with others, so what do i need that for. I think he should start focusing on his life and not on creating a new one, before he can take responsibilities on his old one.

I wouldn't.. Because I don't want to ruin the person's relationship with their own family, and I don't want to be branded as a 'home-wrecker'. If I am still single, then maybe it is because of faith. As there are also people who preferred to be single, 'by choice' and those who were because other people prefer them to be single. For me, there is a certain time where everyone will see the right person for them to live and share their life with.

i'd never consider having any romantic relationship with a married man. this is a mortal sin. it is going against the 10 commandments! it immoral... sorry but i really hate women who are engaging in this kind of relationships. in this situation, we shouldn't let our hearts rule because the girl will always be on the loosing end. married men are not that sincere, they only wanted your youth, your innocence, your body and they will never leave their wives just for you. the girl is not only destroying herself but the family of the man also. illicit affairs are usually the starting points of arguments and quarrels in the family. it affects the children more because they can see that their parents are fighting. and i believe in "karma". that what ever you do, this will always come back to you. i don't want that if ever i'd already find the man that i'll love, he'll also have an affair with another woman.

No, I will never consider a marriage wit ha married guy, It is not ethical to do it,and it will destroy other people's family, I would better to be single throughout my life if i were to have affair with a married man. We are in a one husband on wife world, people have to make a choice finally,the affair will not last long anyway. If a man told me he was single at the beginning but I found out that he had married already, I would break up with him and end the relationship at once.I do not want to get involve in his marriage and became the thrid person.

Take it from someone who has already fallen into that kind of mess, it's wrong in so many ways. First, if you ever come face to face with that person's spouse, you could find that he/she is a great person and it would make you feel terrible inside. And generally, the person with whom you have the affair will stay with their spouse. If you are desperate and alone, wait it out. There are other fish in the sea and you deserve better than an affair. Anyone does. I believe that a person deserves to be loved whole-heartedly. Second, put yourself in the spouses shoes. How would you feel if your husband/wife were having an affair behind your back? Use the golden rule, treat others how you want to be treated.

I've done it and I need to tell everyone not to do it..save yourself the stress pain and aggravation..if a person is already taken, they don't have time for you..you are helping them disrespect their relationship, and most of all you are pretty much disrespecting yourself..everyone deserves to be with someone who wants to be with them and only them..so don't do it..

you'll only lose at the end of the day so why get into a venture that failure is sure to be the end-product. I believe everyone has a mate somewhere, its a matter of you patiently finding that mate instead of settling for another person's mate even though she/he tells you they're available.

I would have to say no! It is a lose/lose situation, either you are taking someones husband from them or you are being treated like a second class person , always last on the list! It just would not be worth it!!!
