Advice on Dating a Married Man

Many women today are dating married men, but most are too ashamed and embarrassed to admit it. There are some important things you should know, and think about, before you enter into a relationship with a married man, or if you are already in one. Many of the things that will be mentioned here could be painful for you, but it is important for you to know.

Who is Involved

One very important piece of advice to be aware of before dating a married man is knowing how many people will be involved. It is more than just the two of you. Does this guy have children? He most certainly has a wife, and you will have guilty feelings about that. You will be causing pain and suffering to them. Even if they never find you will also be hurting yourself.

Restrictions

When you date a married man there are many restrictions put on your relationship. You will not be able to go out and have a regular dating relationship. You will have to be careful every time you go out. You will have to avoid family and friends, and hope no one you know sees you together. You don't want to be found out, and that will take a lot away from your dating.

At first the secretiveness of your relationship will seem exciting, but after awhile, it will take its toll on you emotionally.

Many Sacrifices

You will have to make many sacrifices to maintain your relationship with a married man. The emphasis is on the word YOU. You first must realize that he does have a wife, and must go through the motions of being a husband, and perhaps a father as well.

He is most likely not going to leave his family for you, so he can have his cake and eat it too, while you sit home waiting for a few stolen moments. Perhaps you won't be bothered by this at first, but it becomes tiring and lonely after awhile. Imagine every social occasion alone, every holiday alone.

Dating a married man is a lonely proposition. Is he lonely on holidays? No, he is at home with his family and friends. You are the one making most of the sacrifices, not him.

Listen to all the advice you can about a relationship with a married man, and by hearing this advice, you may see that dating a married man is like driving down a one way street.

Your life will be the one way street, it will be two lanes on his road. Stop the relationship before it goes on too long, the longer it lasts the more you will be hurt when it ends. And it will end. Most men do not leave their wives for their lover. Hopefully you can come to the right conclusion after you give this kind of relationship a good amount of thought.

Another problem is when you are dating a married man, what is he telling his family? He is lying. How do you honestly know he is not lying to you as well. Trust is so important in a relationship, how can you trust someone who lies on a daily basis to his wife, and his children? What makes you so different that he will not lie to you too?

You know deep down in your heart that this relationship has no where to go but down. You don't want to make a mistake you will regret for a very long time, perhaps the rest of your life. You don't need the guilt of possibly destroying a family, and hurting innocent people through your recklessness. You don't want to feel ashamed.

If you cannot talk to your friends and family about who you are dating, you will begin to feel shame, and resentment. You know this is wrong. Face the truth and let this shabby knight ride away on his steed. He is not your Prince Charming, Thank God, he already belongs to someone else. You deserve much more than he can offer.
