Would you sleep with a married man? Even if you didn't want him to leave his wife.

Just wondering would anyone sleep with a married man, that you find very attractive. And you know he's married and don't want to break up his marriage or have a relationship with him?
You're also single.

No because I have a moral compass

Abuseandptsdsurvivor · 19/08/2024 18:35

No i wouldn’t because I’m not a bitch.

silverandyellow · 19/08/2024 18:36

No, what about a married man do you find attractive? Yuck

Apparently it’s a thing ! My dd told me some of friends have a ‘home wrecker kink’ they sleep with men / pursue men who are married or in a relationship just because they can for some weird reason ??!!!

Abuseandptsdsurvivor · 19/08/2024 18:38

And it seems there are a lot of willing men in relationships 🤢

Hatty65 · 19/08/2024 18:38

No. The type of arsehole who would cheat on his wife holds no appeal for me. There's nothing attractive about men like that.

Myfavouriteflowers · 19/08/2024 18:39

Does it really not bother you at all how much you will hurt another woman by doing this?
Besides, a married man who would have sex with you might be physically attractive but he sure as hell is a shit person.

Pantherino · 19/08/2024 18:42

It all comes down to moral compass. You're unlikely to mind (m)any women on here admitting it. In my experience usually both people having affairs are married, then the burden of guilt is shared.

SamW98 · 19/08/2024 18:42

No because I’m not a cunt who fucks another cunt.

Ive got morals and understand girl code.

Ive also seen the devastation affairs can cause - like my friend who committed suicide when her husband cheated. It’s a truly cuntish thing to do.

NoddyNameChanger · 19/08/2024 18:43

No, because I’m a big believer in karma. Whatever shit and trauma I cause others will come back to bite me on the arse at some point.

I used to live with someone who had married boyfriends. One brought his 6-week old baby to her house for her to meet. Another gave her crabs and she slept with loads of boys at uni unprotected.

She got married, and he cheated on her, and she’s now single.

Karma

She deserves it.

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 19/08/2024 18:44

If they had an open marriage then maybe.

By open marriage I mean an open marriage his wife is actually aware of and happily participating in herself.

Otherwise, no.

What so your DD's friends are a crowd of misogynists? And not only do they hold contempt for other women they like destroying the home lives of children?

I think your DD should find some better friends.

Nicebloomers · 19/08/2024 18:44

The only married man I’d sleep with is my husband.

SuckPoppet · 19/08/2024 18:47

No

Coconut91 · 19/08/2024 18:50

Well there must be plenty of women who do it even just going by the relationship forum, but no one here is saying they would.
I have a married man pursuing me, I'm very attracted to him,.I'm single and I definitely don't want a relationship with him

I think women who do this like the ego boost....the idea that even though he's married, she's just so irresistible. I imagine they have low self esteem.

I wouldn't do it but I don't necessarily agree with those who are speaking so awfully about these women...if the man is the one who's married, then hes the one in the wrong. She shouldn't do it but she doesn't owe his wife anything...he does.

Elasticatedtrousers · 19/08/2024 18:53

No because I’d be supporting a man in the removal of another woman’s right to informed sexual consent and her personal agency and colluding in her abuse for my own gain.

And that’s pretty grim.

StoatofDisarray · 19/08/2024 18:54

Of course not!

Think of his family how could you even contemplate it? How will you feel when it happens to you?

It might not happen to her. Karma doesn't exist

Franticbutterfly · 19/08/2024 18:56

Not in a million years.

Elmer83 · 19/08/2024 18:56

Have you met him through work or a hobby? I’d be very careful of being tempted if I was you!

Refugenewbie · 19/08/2024 18:57

I wouldn't. I wouldn't find him attractive if he was pursuing me knowing that there's a woman out there who deserves to know that her happiness is balanced on the head of a pin.

I'd forward his messages to the wife.

hattie43 · 19/08/2024 19:00

No I wouldn't , things like that never end well . You're saying you wouldn't want a relationship with him , what if the tables turn and he becomes obsessed and ends up as some weird stalker person. Find someone available.

Holidayhell22 · 19/08/2024 19:01

No I wouldn’t. To be honest it would put me off him, his appeal would diminish.
Of course plenty of women would.
You have to be careful though. You might end up falling for him and getting hurt.
