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.

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

Just because he's " pursuing " you doesn't mean you have to jump into bed with him.

If he's pursuing you no doubt he's pursuing lots of other women as well.

And no doubt he'll find one or more willing to be notches on his bed post.

His poor wife is all I can say.

Yes I most likely would if I knew that he’s in an unhappy relationship and wants some fun . But if I was so sexually attracted to him , I’d do it mostly because I want to sleep with him myself . I would ofcourse feel bad for the wife but he’s the one who’s in the wrong mostly because he’s the married one not me . I don’t think I could hold myself back if he initiated and I really liked him .

johnson39 · 19/08/2024 19:10

Me no because I have self respect! Maybe you need to get some if your even thinking about it, what's wrong with a man of your own or do you think that low of yourself that you'd accept someone else's man, even though you know he's never gonna leave her for you ?

GingerPirate · 19/08/2024 19:11

Idk about a moral code, to be perfectly honest
I live only once, but a married man hitting on me would be nauseating. Let them have fun with their wives and honour their choices, as I have done
re my husband.
🤢🧟

LumpyandBumps · 19/08/2024 19:11

If he’s pursuing you he has, or will, certainly pursue others. Are you happy to be another notch?

Maybe I am not adventurous but I don’t think I would even want to consider sex with a man I was sure I didn’t want to have a relationship with.

TakeMeDancing · 19/08/2024 19:11

No, because I’m not a POS who’s willing to let my desire of an ego boost result in children living in a broken home. FFS, have a bit of self respect and consideration for someone else’s family!

Op is not wanting him , she just wants to have fun not take away someone’s husband . She doesn’t want a relationship with him .

Durdledore · 19/08/2024 19:12

Big turn off

Whatado · 19/08/2024 19:13

Of course there is on here and in real life.

Honestly when I was younger I probably would have. For several reasons:

  • I had zero self worth. I took so much of it from how men made me feel about myself.
  • I used sex as a way to validate myself.
  • It would have made me feel something that he wanted me despite being married.
  • The taboo element of it would have probably gotten me off.

Then I would have probably had to stop myself taking an overdose because I felt like absolute shit about myself.

But since I have had shed loads of therapy, value myself as a person, established who I want to be, how I want to treat people in life the answer would be no.

I understand what comes with Infidelity, opportunity to manipulate someone else, remove their informed sexual consent, gaslighting, trauma.

I generally try to live a life were I dont intentionally cause others harm.

So no me being attracted to someone wouldnt allow me to take part in a situation that could fuck someone else's life from an absolute height.

RedRidingGood · 19/08/2024 19:13

Big no.

Roaringlions · 19/08/2024 19:13

No. I have morals and self respect.
A woman who will knowingly sleep with a married man is disgusting.

If a married man is pursuing you, you tell them you aren't interested and you distance yourself.

Girlwhowavesattrains · 19/08/2024 19:14

No, and I’d get evidence of him asking and give it to his wife.

mondaytosunday · 19/08/2024 19:15

No. I have more self respect than that.

100% - I hate this BS ‘well I’m not the one who’s married’ to justify knowing fucking another woman’s husband.

Of course the man is a disgusting POS that doesn’t need to be said but women that facilitate them are filth.

We’ve all been approached by married men - it’s not difficult to say no if you have an ounce of self respect.

No i wouldnt. If he cheats with you he will cheat on you. Also i dont want another family heartbroken. I have morals.

SnugCoralFinch · 19/08/2024 19:17

I have no interest in helping someone cheat.
I would find a man in that situation an absolute turn off anyway, physical looks aside .

BlastedPimples · 19/08/2024 19:18

No.

It's not an achievement of any kind.

I don't need that kind of attention from those kind of people who have no standards.

Loubelle70 · 19/08/2024 19:18

Blackeyedcat · 19/08/2024 19:11

Op is not wanting him , she just wants to have fun not take away someone’s husband . She doesn’t want a relationship with him .

Then she can find a man thats unattached if she wants fun

johnson39 · 19/08/2024 19:20

She's still low , he's got a wife why do that to another woman ? Shows you have no morals and most women would think you're a lowlife tbf , he'll be sleeping with his wife still , then her , eeee , I don't share men at all. Get a life , get some self respect !

TakeMeDancing · 19/08/2024 19:21

Blackeyedcat · 19/08/2024 19:11

Op is not wanting him , she just wants to have fun not take away someone’s husband . She doesn’t want a relationship with him .

But there’s a good chance that once DW finds out, she divorces him. OP wants to throw a grenade into a marriage, in order to have sex with a guy who she doesn’t even really seem that keen on.

arethereanyleftatall · 19/08/2024 19:21

When I got divorced a couple of the married blokes in my big friendship group changed the way they acted round me. Flirty, made it clear they were interested if I was.
Made me feel completely sick.
One of them was/is the most attractive bloke I've ever met, his wife is gorgeous.
He must have had many many affairs.

Anyway. My point is. A married man, regardless of attractiveness, regardless of his wife, would only ever make me feel sick if he made a pass at me. Grim.

ichundich · 19/08/2024 19:23

Yes, because he is an adult and knows what he's doing.

WonderingWanda · 19/08/2024 19:24

No because the sort of married man who would want to sleep with another woman is a complete prick. Also, I live by the moto treat others as you wish to be treated and I would not put another woman through that pain.
