Need Advice - She’s Dating a Married Man!
My friend is dating Mr. Right, the only problem is that he is married and still lives with his wife. This would normally be an immediate red flag, but he claims that his wife is only staying until she can get an apartment of her own. My friend also says that he seems to be honest, caring, romantic and is available to her whenever she needs anything. He says that his wife wants to save the marriage, which makes me doubt her intentions to move out. Also, he is keeping his relationship with my friend secret from his friends until he can get things worked out at home. He also says that he is looking forward to his wife moving out and has even talked about having children with my friend, which is some thing that she also wants.
It’s plausible that he could be telling the truth about his situation and his intentions toward my friend. But what if he is Mr. Wrong spinning lies to keep my friend on the hook and him in her bed?
I need some guidance because she seems to be happy and they seem to a perfect match… or is she being blissfully naïve?
Sounds like he’s playing your friend like a piano. She needs to get a clue and stop wasting her time on a loser who is just using her. The phrase “I’m married” should have been the first clue…
If it is really over with his wife, why would he keep it a secret from his buddies?
He seems to want to keep at least one foot in the marriage. Your friend may want to make it clear that she won’t accept this situation indefinitely.
Men respect a woman who is strong and stands up for herself and respects herself. Otherwise, when a men senses that a woman is weak and will accept such a situation, they will take advantage of it. So if she is content with being the other woman, it is natural for the man to see her as nothing more.
