Would you sleep with a married man?

Just wondering. I haven't btw. The opportunity has arisen where I have the chance to. He is an old friend, I have never met his wife. They have no kids.

I'm probably not going to do it. It seems a lot to risk for just some sex. All I want is a friends with benefits situation, and I am not interested in a relationship with this man. Just happen to know we have great sex together.

Have you ever slept with a married man?

Oh for goodness sake! The OP didn't do it. And SHE'S NIT THE MARRIED ONE! All these wronged women blaming the fucking other women. He is a tosser for cheating. Stop blaming the other (potential) woman!!!

Grin "I am so cool and a Totally Real Woman"

How did you even find this @Sassy22?!

OP, I'm glad you're not going to go ahead with this. I understand the attraction and it's possible that you'd be great together BUT there is a very real risk that you wouldn't be able to keep it as FWB even if you think you can at the outset. And if you can't, the only thing ahead of you is heartbreak. Genuine heartbreak and overwhelming sadness for a very long time.

I'm happy for you that you're giving that a swerve. Good on you. :)


For the "Yes, only my husband with my wedding ring on his finger..." and variation of.  I'm cringing at your excruciating smugness and willingness to put down the OP for simply asking a question.  However obvious you think the answer is, it isn't always.

The last woman who slept with me, despite knowing I was married is my current wife. I'd had an affair with her, broke it off, went back to her, then left my wife

Fucking charming. Uugh. Two people without morals. Let's see how long this union lasts.

A friend of mine has just admitted to an affair with a married man. I've never seen her so miserable.

ZOMBIE THREAD FROM 2012

"There are lots of single men"

This comes up in all these threads about this subject. Without justifying cheating, I have to point out that once you're over 35 there are VERY FEW single men.

I know this is a zombie thread resurrected by Sassy in her first ever post Confused - but I do agree with the comment above

"There are lots of single men"

BeanSprout79 · 19/06/2017 12:35

No, have some pride and thoughtfulness for all concerned. This is a dreadful thing to even contemplate.

usernameinfinito · 19/06/2017 12:41

I do. Every night. He is married to me 😅

Gwenhwyfar · 19/06/2017 13:21

Thanks Aridane. I think the numbers might go up again when the men are in their 50s, post-divorce and then of course, once you're over a certain age, there are very few men at all.

MyheartbelongstoG · 19/06/2017 13:45

Nope and anyone that does is a grade A cunt.

RortyCrankle · 19/06/2017 15:42

I think if you knowingly have sex with a married man you have zero self respect and are probably emotionally stunted.

Many years ago I was in a relationship with a man who swore that he was separated/single, only to discover some months down the line that he was in fact still married - with six children - and he went back to his wife whenever he returned to Ireland.

I obviously dumped him but still feel sick to think about it.

Isetan · 19/06/2017 16:22

If I think about his poor wife though it breaks my heart

Given the title of your thread, this is a meaningless platitude. You need to get better quality friends or maybe, you are already at his level.
