Ok so I'll ask....is there anything wrong with me dating a married woman?

3,549 129 November 23, 2010 at 03:06 PM in Question
It's not me cheating so is there anything wrong with it? A couple of people have told me it's wrong and made it sound like I am evil but they can't really tell me why with anything other than emotional reactions. So what's up?

OP,
I agree with you. It's not that you would be wrong in dating a married woman. You would have some culpability. However, the person who would or should hold more of the blame would be the married person.

But, as seen right here on this thread, ppl tend to attack the mistress or lover. When, in reality, they are the single one. They're not married and didn't take any marriage vows.

Its all good....until her husband finds out.

If your friends know, its bad. The more people that know....the quicker it becomes public knowledge.

Should have kept this a dirty little secret for only her and you to know.

Is it wrong? Hell no, not for you. You're being honest, you're cool.

Is it the best choice? IMO, no. Doesn't say a lot about the woman. She's also going to look to you for support when she eventually leaves the husband. Bad situation sir, very bad situation.

She is wrong for having an affair with you, but you're equally wrong for allowing her to cheat on her husband with you. You can't control what she does if you were to tell her "no", but by saying "yes" to her, you share every bit of her wrong. Lets bring this example home. If, when her husband finds out and is filled with rage, if someone were to provide him with a handgun, would they be the one committing the resultant crime? No, but would they be morally culpable? Yes. In the same way, you're equally guilty by allowing her to cheat with you, and by enjoying yourself as you tear apart someone's marriage, especially when the husband is unaware (as someone said earlier, it's a somewhat different scenario if they're separated seeking divorce).

It's said that it's one kind of wrong to do something you know is wrong, and it's another entirely to do something you know is wrong and lead others along with you. You are not only dating a married woman, you're allowing and inviting her to have an affair with you by your tacit compliance.

No amount of grammatical gymnastics you attempt to perform can escape that singular fact.

I just don't see how I am culpable. It's not like I made her cheat. If not me then it would be someone else is the way I look at it....but I'm glad it's me. laugh out loud

We are careful so her husband does not find out. It isn't that difficult. It requires going to places that aren't on the most popular 'see to be seen' loop so that is fine because we try different restaurants and I know the thread count of the hotels in the area now.

I'm not saying that you're to blame for the situation. I'm just saying that it takes two. So, you're not totally in the clear as far as the moral or ethical question in having a relationship with a married person. But, as I've stated, the real person to blame is the married person. However, you're not totally in the right either.

Believe me, I was in that situation when I was in college. I got emotionally involved with a married girl who was in a bad marriage. She was only 21 when she got married. And, he was like in his mid 30's. Was I wrong to be in that relationship? Yes, but we never had sexual relations....only an emotional bond. But, now that I'm older, I know that I could have approached it better.

How am I an accessory? If you and a buddy go somewhere and you pick up the check (your turn or whatever) that doesn't make you responsible for his food choices.

No her husband doesn't know.
If you drive your friend to the store and he robs the place, and then you drive him away... guess what? You're an accessory. You made it possible for him to rob the store and get away with it.

You're helping the chick to get away with cheating on her husband, therefore you're an accessory to adultery.

OP you know what I have found is always the best way to figure out if something you're doing is wrong? If the shoe were on the other foot and you were in a marriage that was falling apart, would you care if another dude was banging your wife? If you wouldn't want it to happen to you, then it's wrong for you to do it to someone else. Good rule of thumb.

So I am supposed to just date chicks that are single....many for good reason....just because she is married? Doesn't a married woman deserve some affection, caring, attention, appreciation like a single woman gets when she gets none of that in her marriage? (if she is lucky!)

I realize it takes two but I am not cheating on anyone. Matter of fact I don't have any hopes or holdouts that she will leave her husband for me. Ever. So to me our relationship is more open and honest than other relationships out there.

You can't compare a criminal act with this. Not even in the same ballpark.

Yes, you can. Not in the legal sense but in the moral and ethical sense you certainly can.
