AIBU to consider the wife?

I know a married man through dog-walking, and I am attracted to him. I also suspect he is not in a sexual relationship with his wife. I would never make a move on him. If he were to make a move on me, I would tell him that I am interested in him, but that he would have to be single for me to take it any further. AIBU?

Anyone else really bored of autism being blamed for shitty behaviour? I know a few autistic people, all of them are decent people that know right from wrong. You do too so put your knickers back on a leave this man alone, you know he's married, you make a move and you're just a ho

@straightoutofa

Then I'm thinking - well, I don't owe her anything (from another thread) so why not?

Don’t try to justify your actions by questioning whether you owe his wife anything!

It’s nothing to do with her it’s to do with your questionable morals.

Obviously if you don’t mind being cheated on because the OW doesn’t owe you anything crack on.

Plus maybe work a bit on being less flattered by married men using sleazy lines about their dogs to try to bed you! You can do better than that!

I don’t really understand the ‘don’t owe his wife anything’, surely you don’t treat other people like shit just because you don’t know them? That would make you a dreadful person.

In any event, I don’t understand why ‘logic’ is telling you that you should pursue someone whose relationship with you (if it began) would be evidence that he’s a liar and a cheat. What kind of logic tells you to aim so low in a partner?

@me4real so how do you figure why I say it then? Me, a female with a sex life and everything. Doesn't quite fit your narrative does it

Whether this man has sex with his wife or not is literally none of your business

Change your dog walking route, it sounds like you need to meet a better class of dog walker. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for your dog!

When the dog licked his face he jokingly said 'that's more than I get at home'.

Do you usually take everything so literally?

Leave the married guy alone, find a guy who isn’t married FFS 🙄

It’s dead in the water by that point
