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.

Your behaviour is a matter for your own conscience but would I want to sleep with a man who thinks it's ok to betray his wife and potentially ruin her life and destroy his family if she finds out? Christ, no. I mean is it even a serious question?

Gofastboatsmojito · 19/08/2024 19:25

One of my closest friends is currently doing exactly this.

Its fine because he has no intention of leaving his wife and kids, but she works too much and doesn't have time or sex for him, and poor diddums needs it. He's very sweet apparently.

My friend and I discuss it occasionally, she knows I think it's immoral, awful behaviour but she just views it differently. We mostly avoid the topic now because she's beginning to fall for him and wants to gush about how lovely he is but i can only reply that he doesn't sound at all lovely to me, and I don't want to hear her gushing tbh.

Mammma91 · 19/08/2024 19:26

Absolutely not. He’s a married man.

ImAFemaleVersionOfRoyKeane · 19/08/2024 19:27

I wouldn't like a man who wanted to because I feel he'd be an arrogant twat!

Getonwitit · 19/08/2024 19:27

After seeing the devastation that my exhusbands affairs caused my children and the lasting damage it done to them i could never cause that amount of damage to a child. And i would judge any woman that did so very harshly. In fact i would tell her to her face that she was the lowest of the low.

Grute · 19/08/2024 19:28

No. My moral compass is too high.

It’s not worth the hassle op, leave it be.

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

Do you really think you're so special he's only going after you ?

If you do think that.... think again.

I'd personally be very fucking insulted if a married man thought my morels were SO low.

Berlinlover · 19/08/2024 19:31

Would it be a ONS or a long term thing?

Northernlights100 · 19/08/2024 19:32

I never have and never will.

He's married ffs have some respect for his wife and relationship it's disgusting how you're even considering it . Don't care if you find him attractive find a man that's single .

Mrsttcno1 · 19/08/2024 19:33

Definitely not, because no matter how attractive they might be they are clearly very ugly on the inside.

LazJaz · 19/08/2024 19:35

Absolutely not.
putting your own sexual gratification before the life outcomes of other people - even if you don’t know them or owe them anything- is extremely unattractive and contrary to my moral compass.

BinkyBeaufort · 19/08/2024 19:36

I did once.
In my defence I was 17 and he was in his 30s, second marriage, devastatingly beautiful, and I was devastatingly naive.
I only started to feel bad about it when I got married myself. Now, no chance.

Chillimuma · 19/08/2024 19:37

No because that’s a cruel ness I couldn’t inflict on another person even a stranger

StormingNorman · 19/08/2024 19:37

Not even if George Clooney himself made a pass at me.

Coconut91 · 19/08/2024 19:38

@Blackeyedcat that is for being so honest, that's exactly how I feel...I find him hard to resist

How on earth can you be attracted to someone who has no morals? It doesn't matter that you don't want a relationship with him, the fact that he's married and pursuing you like some Benny Hill clone would give me the ick. 😖

mummybearSW19 · 19/08/2024 19:40

There are plenty of women who would.
I did once upon a time. One of the women found me 15 years later (via FB) to ask why I hadn't told her because it would have saved her from an awful marriage....

i guess whether you do or dont depends how much he pursues you and how much you fancy him v how much discretion he will have.

you dont want her to find out you have
so how much do you trust him?

HGC2 · 19/08/2024 19:42

A girl I used to work with did, then he got really infatuated with her, did leave his wife and she felt guilted into letting him move in. Last I saw her she was pregnant and miserable and he was happy as a clam. No idea how his wife was

Then go out of your way to avoid him as much as possible. No conversations, phone calls, messages etc.

You absolutely can resist him, of course you can.

How would you feel afterwards, knowing that you are the sort of person who would ruin someone's life for a cheap thrill?

arethereanyleftatall · 19/08/2024 19:44

You don't op. I would honestly, and this isn't sone way of having a dig, seek some counselling. He isn't hard to resist. You are desperate to 'win'. Be the chosen one. It's almost always because of your own childhood. Maybe your father didn't pick you? But it isn't him you are attracted to, it's the fact he's picked you. Which of course he hasn't, just you're easy.

You are happy with the removal of his wife’s RIGHT to informed sexual consent for your kicks? Is it just your consent that matters?

Coconut91 · 19/08/2024 19:45

@Blackeyedcat sorry that was meant to say, thanks for being so honest

Hard to resist? Grow up.
Why would you have sex with a liar and a cheat? Grim.

redrudolph · 19/08/2024 19:46

No. I would not want to cause trauma for another person. It also makes you a cheap tart.

Plenty of single men out there OP
