Just to admit that... or write it out... def sucked!
I met this man a few months back- about 5 moths ago. I was out with a girlfriend at a bar celebrating a win for our city's NFL football team... the bar we went to ended up being where most the players ended up so it was pretty fun to celebrate with the actual team. Now I've worked in the entertainment industry for years... so being around celebraties and athletes is quite routine for me.. so it wasn't a big thing at all. I was actually in gym shoes.. jeans... and not really interested in getting picked up- just there for a good time. I noticed this one guy.. and although I love football I wasn't sure if he was a player or a coach- but it was obvious he was joining in on the victory because he had a bottle of champagne in his hand and a victory cap on. He was suited up.. very sharp.. 6'6, had to be the most handsome man I seen in quite some time. I caught his eye a few times.. and finally about an hr later he passed by me and I stopped him and commented on how good looking he was... told him he should be flattered I even complimented him.. and walked away. I'm pretty confident in nature... so I knew I would throw him off with my cockiness.. and I did. He came back to me.. and said I made his day.. and from there the conversation began. We spent the rest of the evening talking.. and after the bar closed his group and my group all went for breakfast. We KIT from then on out.. and it wasn't until he mentioned he had a myspace page- which was about one month into our friendship.. that I realized he was married and expecting a child. At this pt it was all innocent. We had flirted, met for lunch a few times... but I couldn't get upset because he hadn't actually come on to me... I knew he liked me and I was also very attracted to him... but up until that discovery I really had nothing to base it on... but I was upset and I did confront him on it. He said he was sorry he kept it from me... but he didn't know how I'd react to it. We agreed we'd stay as friends.. and at this point I was helping him with some marketing efforts for a business he was starting... it was all innnocent... problems started 3 months later- At this point we were very much having feelings for each other. We were spending more and more time together- whether it be to meet for business.. or just a casual lunch- but it evolved mostly through email.. we'd write these lengthy emails... about life in general.. and we realized we had this odd connection their neither of us could explain.. it was like.. we just had to speak on daily basis.. whether through text.. or email.. every morning he'd call me to say good mroning.. and every night to say good night.. . he'd meet me out with my girlfriends.. I'd meet him out with his guys.. but we still hadn't even kissed. We had developed this weird friendship... we'd HUG a lot... and he'd hold me.. we both knew we had feelings but respected his situation. THe day his son was born he came to me after he left the hospital... and that's when I knew we were both falling in love- that night we made love for the first time... 3 and a half months after we met. We knew we were going about this all wrong... because it wasn't just a fling.. we had begun to have feelings. I struggled with this.. what was I doing? I could have any man I wanted.. and here I am... with a married man. But yet he had become one of closest friends... he and I were so darn compaitble... we'd laugh and joke.. and laugh.. we'd talk about everything and anything... he just made me feel so protected... yet I did the same for him... gave him advice... personally and professionally... then last week he asked that I come over that he had to talk to me.. I went to meet him at a park. He was sitting on a bench... unkempt.. unshaven.. glassy eyes... he went on to tell me he was getting a divorce before end of year. Mind you- I've never questioned or pressured him about this.. he said he was extremely unhappy but he never wanted to disrespect me and discuss this issue with me from fear on my twisting it or translating it as him feeding me what I want to hear.. he said he hadn't been intimate with his wife in 10 months... that she was his college sweet heart that he rekindled the relationship with about a year and a half ago when he resigned his contract with his NFL team... he felt pressured by family and friends because they all said from here on out after his contract the women he'd meeet would prob be after his millions and not really him.. they all loved his college sweet heart and said he should just get married because it was time. He had dated for years... let all his bachelor ways out.. and he really felt that she could be the one. He recognized their differences.. he was a social butterfly.. outspoken. The jokester... yet she was to herself.. cynical and serious. But he got married.. and only weeks after they married he realized he may have made a mistake. She cahnged immediately. He started questioning whether in fact she just did it for his status as well.. because once they married she stopped working... stopped cooking dinner.. stopped taking care of herself.. gained weight and just became insensitive to his career and his well being. Soon after they found out she was pregannt and from there it went down hill. He said when he met me he didn't expect it to evolve.. but it has.. and he feels even stronger for me than he ever did for his wife... that we get along on a level he never did with her... and that he just can't live this way anymore. He has to resign another contract next year and wants to divorce before then because they don't have a prenumpt. He was on fence about divorce because he adores his son and once he tells his wife he wants one she'll leave back to their home town... which kills him to know he'll be separated from his child. BUt he said he has to tell me all this.. because at that moment he said he realized he was in love with me. HE said all this and id idnt knowwhat to say back.. it was so much at once.. I just listened quiet.. taking it all in. BUt it's a struggle. I don't know how much longer I can do it. I can't wait until the end of year.. I just cant. All this is wrong.. but yet when I'm with him it just feels so right. I know it was hard for him to sit in front of me and tell me he loves me.. and I didn't reciprocate the feeling... I just stayed quiet... I have never said it to him. But I do feel it. I keep myself guarded because I know at end of the day- he's still with her. And I can't even believe its gotten to this pt. I've said I would never be involved with a married man.. yet somehow manage to justify this situation as it being unique.. but its still wrong. I want to be with him.. I don't want to cut him off.. but I know I have to.. yet now I know he's getting a divorce... so what do it do.. do I stick it out... yet I know once he does divorce trust issues will be a factor- how can I not think he'd do it to me... he said it wouldn't be the same.. but of course he's going to say that... ahhhhh I don't know. Plus I keep having nightmares about Gods wrath.. about sinning.. about committing adultry- I'm contributing to his sin.. and although I'm not exactly the most religious person.. I did grow up catholic and I know right from wronga and I know I'm sinning! What do I do? Do I wait it out... do I cut him off... he begs me to stay by his side through this.. that he needs me.. that I'm his angel.. that him his best friend.. that he just needs to get through this year until he comes up with a plan on how he's going to give her the news- that he just wants to wait until the summer is through to tell her... right before season starts... It sucks to see his face on TV.. or news.. or articles... I hadn't realized what a popular player he was until after we were involved.. and it sucks to see that... to know that I'm in love with this man that is my secret... ((sigh)) What to do.

If he suckes than all you have to do is to tell him to remember about his family and that he is doing something wrong.than all you have to do is to leave him alone

Firstly, you slept with him the day his son was born? That did actually make me sick in my mouth a little bit! There really is absolutely no excuse for that, and I'm sure you feel ashamed for that, or at least aught to!

If you do love each other, and he's doing this for you, you'd better stand by him. This is going to tear him apart, so you best hope you have an extremely strong relationship otherwise he's going to feel very alone, especially in the public eye!

Finally, make sure he's definitely telling you the truth! It seems like the "I'm leaving my wife, just not yet" is a staple line of adulterers world-wide!

This story sounds all too famillier.. sorry... but it does... im leaving my wife for you, you are my angel blah blah blah.thats what they all say, the thing is this.. how many others has he or will he say this to?
His wife gained weight, his wife doesn't cook, etc etc, have you met her? I'm sure his wife is blissfully unaware of all this lack of love, especially in the morning when he gets out of their bed to come see you.
Just my thoughts.
Could you really be with a man who openly cheats on his wife? You know the story, so he leaves her,then gets with you.. how long before he is doing the same with you? In some bar one night.. yeah my girlfriend has gained weight and we don't have sex anymore.
Think with your head not your heart.
Me? I would cut all contact and tell him to find me when he is divorced.. then you will know his true intentions.

The words... HOME WRECKER... comes to mind when I read your post!
The only thing I can't figure out is... which one did it first?

The fact that your relationship started with a lie should be a red flag. If he lied once, he can lie again. Also, why is a married man on My Space? I thought that was a space for 20 something's and younger. There is a lot of rationalizing going on. I think that a lot of soul searching has to occur. If you feel uncomfortable about this situation, you need to follow your gut instinct.

The best thing you can do is to stay away from him. At least until he is divorced. If he is some big football star - I find it arrogant to think that you wouldn't be smart enough to figure out his marital status. That should bother you.
You can let him know how you feel - but you can't be with him until he is free. You know, once he asks her for a divorce - it could take months on end to get a divorce.
If this is true love - then you can wait it out.
But, what happens when he doesn't leave his wife and you have to start sneaking around because he's in the public eye. He has to hide you away like a dirty little secret. How is that going to make you feel?
Save yourself from that. Respect his commitment enough with his wife and family and let this go. If it is meant to be then it will be - but you can not position yourself in another person's marriage - the result is never good.

I am sorry if I feel a little skeptical about this situation. Why is it always the wife's fault that the marriage went bad? Remember, there is always two sides to every story. I feel sorry for the wife, as she just gave birth to a baby. He apparently "loved" her enough for him to sleep with her and make another life. You say that he was starting to have doubts a couple of weeks after they married? Why didn't he do something about it then? I'm sorry, I just can't see a woman forcing a big-time football player into having sex with her. He wanted it. I don't believe his story. I think that he is pulling your chain and he truly does not have any plans to do anything about "his situation" in the very near future. I also think that you should stay away from him. I don't see this divorce as taking only months to go through, unless he is willing to give up A LOT just to get out of it. If anything, this will take years to go through. Look at Urlacher and he did not even marry the girl. These guys don't want to give up anything. He will most likely use his career to hide behind and say, "I have to do this, I have to do that or else it will ruin my career. Blah, blah, blah." My God, he had sex with you the day that his child was born. I bet that is mostly because he knew that he would not be able to get any for at least 4 to 6 weeks!!

The fact that your relationship started out with a lie should be a red flag. If he lied once, he can lie again.

Preach it!! A lie is a lie is a lie. First impressions are the building stone of relationships. If you were married and found out your husband was cheating, how'd you feel? Do unto other's as you'd have them do to you. I may not be religious, but that right there sums it all up. What goes around WILL come around. What your doing can't be changed, only stopped. You've done the damage to three people. You his wife and him. If he can't be man enough to stop it you should be women enough to. Sorry but in my opinion you've destoryed yourself by being with a married man. Ppl will never see you the same way and you can't blame us. You problably woln't ever have a real relationship because of this. It really doesn't even matter IF he was unhappy. Once married always married in my eyes. Divorce is for weak people in not all but most cases. Who want an easy way out of a situation that isn't going their way. You screwed yourself and no pity here sister.

First of all if this man is weak enough to let his family tell him who to marry, HELLO--no backbone. Second, he actually listened ( assuming this story he is telling you is true, which of course we don't know because you are ONLY getting his side)
Third, there is a child involved. No, check that--that should be reason number one to WALK AWAY. To put a precious child in the middle of a twisted drama is not fair. The child is in fact the innocent party here. Whatever his problems, whatever his reasons --IT Doesn't MATTER. WALK AWAY. There are highly qualified psychologists he can go to for any mental anguish or problems he is facing, and a pastor or preist would be an excellent choice for him to talk to about his relationship troubles. Not you. He is married. Period. And until he is not, I suggest you spare yourself the heartache and find someone who is man enough to live with integrity and honor. Why would you want anything less? If you were really his "best friend" he would care enough about you NOT to have an affair with you and risk hurting you so deeply.
This man is a snake. He may be a smooth snake, a pretty one, and a rich one at that, but a snake is a snake.

Run, don't walk. Get away from him. You'll thank yourself later.

I do have to question why someone would want to be with a man that is not emotionally available fully, why you would want to share him with someone else, etc.

I believe in Karma. If you know he is married, and continue on with this, you are just as bad as he is. At no point can you claim being a victim, or innocent. Knowledge is power, and you have the knowledge that this man is married, has a child, etc. It takes two to tango, this man (I use that term VERY loosely, because a real man would not do this to his wife and child) is married, he lied to you. BIG RED FLAG. Distance yourself as far as you can from this guy. Sure, he might do this with someone else, but right now you are the enabler. YOU are letting it happen. And who is to say, if in some twisted way he does leave his wife, that the same thing won't happen to you? Once a cheater always a cheater. If I'm being harsh it's because I can't stress enough how bad of a situation this is for you, and even though I'm not God, there are black and white areas (even grey at times), and morally, this is a black area. Walk away from the guy. You'll thank yourself later.

I'm dating a married man. ((how dumb does that sound!))

It sounds more pathetic, disgusting, mean, cruel terrible, heartless... etc

My X Fiancé and I were deeply and love and so happy and because of a girl like you, hell maybe it was you, tore us apart. I HATE CHEATERS! And to be honest you're giving us girls a bad name to which I don't really appreciate and neither do other people I'm sure

I wonder If Perplexed3024 has had a change of heart on the entire situation. She wanted feed back and advice. What are her plans? What has happened since the original post?

Get out quick before he gets you pregnant and leaves you for single woman who didn't let herself go.

When the tables turn, you'll be heartbroken.

The best thing you can do is leave this guy alone and try 2 4 get him it really hurts would you like some 1 doing that to you it's the way you want to be treated you treat hun I no your in love but try dating other men 4 get him he's a lowie if he doesn't treat his wife right how is going 2 treat u

What the hell is wrong with you? I didn't need to read the whole story. You screwed him after you knew he left the hospital when his kid was born? In short, that makes you a tramp and a homewrecker. Don't deny it, just accept it, you're a tramp.Period.

I just can't get over the number of adults who don't have control over their own hormones!! If people really put themselves in other people's shoes, I don't think that they would do half the things that they do. How would these girls feel if they were the wife and their husband was doing these same things to them. Again, a leopard does not change his spots and these girls (I honestly cannot call them women because they are not acting like adults and thinking it through) are getting involved with boys (again I cannot call them men) who will most likely turn around and do the same things to them if given the chance.

Homewrecker!! regardless of what he tells you he is probably lying to her just like he's lying to you and the fact that you slept with him and knew he was married doesn't say much for what kind of person you are either. I have been there and believe me it will get you nowhere. If he was really that unhappy he would have left already. I would tell him when you're single call me if I'm not with someone else by then, then maybe we can get together but he needs to figure out what is important. Never leave the one you love for the one you like cause the one you like will leave you for the one they love

Wow!! Perplexed3024, you really have some issues you need to deal with quick before you get yourself into a bigger mess, like being pregnant. Put yourself in his wife's shoes. How would you feel if you found out... this isn't even the least bit human. Lets hope there isn't more people in the world like you!!

Hi, I would like to say, I don't believe you are sinning. I think people can fall in love in so many different places, and circumstances. Things happen in mysterious ways. I know you feel bad, but I would know that deep down somewhere it was all meant to happen, and maybe it is unique. I actually had the same experience, except the wife was my bestfriends mother. Now my bestfriends mother is about 45, and the guy is 28. So you see how much a difference there is. I had an affair, and I thought he loved me. I thought it was unique between this guy, and me. In the end, I ended up alone, and he stayed with her. I don't regret it though, everything is an experience, and I do believe he loved me, and that we were soulmates, or something. Something was def. different between us. From the moment we really started talking, It all changed. So you know keep your head up, and wait it out until this fall. If it doesn't change how he says, and he keeps putting it off. You got to kick him to the boot, before you get in to deep. Good luck and Don't feel bad.. I'm sure you have a good heart, and your following it well.

Cheating is a sin... falling in love isn't - but there is a process that needs to be followed, and respected - you have gone about it all the wrong way!

I also felt sick that you slept with this guy the day that his son was born - he came to you from the hospital - where his wife was laying thinking that she was holding a little symbol of the love she shared with her husband! For that, you need to ask for forgiveness because it is wrong on so many levels...

No matter how you try to justify the schedule of events - he still cheated on his wife. You are in marketing yes? Well... no fancy words are going to sell this story to his wife... and it looks as though you haven't convinced many on this forum either.

Like I said, it's not a sin to love someone, but it's completely immoral to enter into a relationship with someone who has committed himself to someone else - regardless of whether their marriage is happy or not - his promises obviously mean nothing - and you obviously mean little to him either, as he has lied and cheated from the beginning. If he loved you he would have sorted out his situation and then come to you... should that be.

I do wonder how any right-minded, obviously well educated woman could not possibly see the signs that are written on the wall - As it goes 'If he cheated on her, he'll cheat on you' - that saying wasn't just plucked out of the air for our ponderance... it comes from real life - so take your millionaire stud boyfriend with a child and enjoy him... karma will win in the end.

I hope his wife finds someone amazing and is happy until her dying days - and I hope that Prince Charmings looks and millions fade and you are left with an emotionally challenged shell of a person to spend your ending days with.

As I posted last month to someone else's question


I'm dating a married man. ((how dumb does that sound!))

It sounds more pathetic, disgusting, mean, cruel terrible, heartless..... etc

My X Fiance and I were deeply in love and so happy and because of a girl like you, hell maybe it was you, tore us apart. I HATE CHEATERS! And to be honest you're giving us girls a bad name to which I don't really appreciate and neither do other people I'm sure

Comments on this post
Raynefreak agrees: isnt that the f-ing truth

And I would like to add that this is why men cheat in the first place!! If there weren't any hussies to cheat with then there would be no cheaters in the first place! And women wonder why they are looked at as "objects"... Sad, Sad and very Pathetic

Do what your heart tells you to do... be free and fresh like the breezy seirra air.. u can do it.

I really think you need to dump this guy. Fornucating and adultry is wrong, wrong, wrong. You don't want to be the cause of him leaving his wife. Even if they are having problems you should help him get back with her not dump her and especially not sleep with him until they are divorced. I have been in a situation like this before. I told the guy to get lost because he just lied lied lied. He told me he was separated when we met then they got back together. Be very careful you are playing with fire and you will get burned.

No matter how hard it is, please don't continue to see this man. I am not about to throw stones at you, but the wonderful feeling you have when you are with him, or talk to him will not last. You are worth more than this. You see, my husband left me for another woman. We got back together even after I found out about the affair, and the other woman called me, e-mailed me and harassed me on several occasions, making sure I knew the details of their affair. He went back to her, and I have divorced him. He lied to me and to her over, and over and over. Please don't believe him. You will get over the pain. I am finally beginning to live my life again, after living 1 1/2 years of hell. Any man that cheats on his wife is not a man you will want to be with. The best revenge a wife can get on a woman that steals her husband, is to let her have him.

I'm dating married man too I know it sounds dumb but I think at the time I was vulnerable and needed someone to talk to. I think the worse thing is that I'm trying for a divorce and I still love my husband isn't that crazy I haven't been intimated with this man that I'm seeing but god knows I feel so gulity and I don't know why. My husband was treacherous and if that is the only way that I can describe himthen I know we don't belong together. This married man is quite possessive and I know that I'm not even that attracted to him but he makes me feel good at times and I know I need those feelings. I don't have time to really go out and find a single man because I have kids. It's really hard sometimes espcially when your lonely... sincerely Aja boo

I don't want to sound too harsh but let me begin by giving you some tough love because I care about people and the poor choices they make.

First of all, I am not letting you off the hook, what you did is VERY WRONG, your man and you lack moral integrity and frankly I hope the man's wife takes him to the cleaners. I will in no way justify that.

Now as far as your question is concerned, you should walk away and try to make amends for the mistake you made. If not then prepare for a rough life brought on by your making a poor decision.

There are so many different sides to all this Perplexed3024 should have never taken the relationship to the next level BUT in her defence when have any of us been able to control who we fall in love with and we all know our hearts speak so much louder than words. He could be honest and telling her the truth and only married due to the pressures? Who are we to tell. It is the nature of the beast for men to fanitise and always thinking it is greener on the other side. I know you are thinking well this woman does not know the felling well I am married and it was rough for years and when I found out I was hurt and I cried and I was a mess. I had a very good friend sit me down and she said " look in the mirror there is always 2 sides" I then took the time to reflect on all that happened, newly married then the kids etc and we just existed. I know most woman do this and I was not alone but to ourselves we say in a round about way I am married now he is mine and that's it. We do tend to change ourselves and become bossy, cridical, and sometimes down right mean. We now become inactive sexualy and well from a mans point of view they need there physical fix. When I realized all I had to him and all I put him through I then could not hold it against him. I could then look back and know that even though he di have an affair and it was wrong I took a he huge part in pushing him away. We had a great sex life before marriage we had date nights out we had our time then we married and all went down hill marriage takes work lots of work!! But if one or the other is not in it for the long hall and they know they will never be happy with there partner again then the best you can do is go your separate ways. If you want it to work you need to put forth 110%. Y have to listen to your man and you as a woman and/or wife man sure youjr man is physically emotional and sexualy fulfilled. After a long day of work as tired as you are have a quicky (great stress relever) and then go to sleep with your arms around each other and guereteed you will wake up with a smile!! U should always beablr to talk to your man and ask them what there fantises are etc. Look at what this woman did they married the NO sex, cooking, etc. she did it all to hook him they married and then she did a 180 I can't blame him!! She took a huge part in the failed marriage just as he did!!
