think you ahve made the right decision - he needs to sort it out before 'moving on'. When he is clear and free then he can make those sort of moves.

VeronicaMars · 06/05/2007 13:40

Do you work with him? If you do you should really only be in touch with him at work. Give up those texts, bet he keeps his phone with him at all times.

MrsCarrot · 06/05/2007 13:41

how long do you think he will make you feel good about yourself?

blue bubbles - it's a responce like your first comment which is what's wrong with women some times.
"cant see what the problem is here, he is obviously not in a happy relationship if you want a bit of fun go ahead, for all you know his wife has cheated x ammount of times. he mist not be getting it at home so if you want to have a bit of fun with him go ahead."

bluebubbles · 06/05/2007 13:51

If no woman ever slept with a married man, then no men would ever have an affair.

thats a lovely little world you live in, the rest of us that live in the real world cant have such "simple" views

VeronicaMars · 06/05/2007 13:53

Bluebubbles are you sleeping with a married man??

MrsCarrot · 06/05/2007 13:53

and it has to better to err on the side of caution and advise a poster to avoid a situation where the man is almost certainly being an asshole and the wife will get hurt, rather than the remote possiblity that he IS actually telling the truth and it will just be a bit of fun?

LittleSarah · 06/05/2007 13:53

'If no woman ever slept with a married man, then no men would ever have an affair.'

Um, yes.

And if no married men slept single women then no men would have affairs.

Affairs are horrible things (don't do it window!) but this evil other woman attitude can be more than a little pathetic. If a man is married he should not be coming on to other women full stop. He needs to take the blame, he is committed.

(That said of course the OW is partially responsible)

haha i doubt that one very much, and dont assume that you know anything about me or my husband

MrsCarrot · 06/05/2007 13:59

but imagine if the wife was your best friend?

munz · 06/05/2007 13:59

LS - don't disagree with that, but it's not jsut the man at fault, OW also is esp in my view if she's knows full well he's married as well. OW has the choice to sleep with the man or not, if it was me i'd choose not and have more respect for myself than a quick fumble about.

munz · 06/05/2007 14:00

yes I guess that would be fair game - esp if he wasn't happy. but then again you could well be happy, as i'm sure the wife of this blokey is - she's prob seemingly thinking the world is fine and dandy only for her H to be off with whoever knows.

LittleSarah-I don't think anyone here is for a seond saying the man is blameless. Without a doubt they are the one's commited. But Window (like many "OW") knows that he is married and has a wife at home.
She has the choice-the wife doesn't.

And as for bluebubbles charming little comment that we the "wives at home" are one sided then had I never been the victim of an affair I would still bge telling Window to steer clear.
At no point in my life would I EVER condone a relationship with a married man because I have morals and decency.
Maybe I do live in a simple little world but I'd rather be in mine than bluebubbles any day.
