Im dating a married man...I don't feel bad about it. Is this wrong?

Im 19 years old and I recently started dating a man that has been married for 8 years. He is 30 years old and I have known him and his family since I was 9 years old. I was eleven when he got married and I actually was present at it. I have talkted to his wife several times before and she seems very unhappy with her marriage. She cheated on him once when they had first gotten married, and to get bakc at her he did the same. (Not with me, it was way before hima nd I started talking). They have two beautiful children now and she uses them against him everytime he asks for a divorce. (He doesn;t just tell me this, I talk to her too and she's told me she wants to hold him down.) I know she's cheating on him at the moment also, because like I said before, her and I takl sometimes and she tells me things. I dont feel bad being with him because I know she is doing the same thing to him, but people that know about this relationship think I am doing something very bad. I need any advice!
Additional Details
This man and I have only recently (three weeks ago) started talking. I have not slept with him, and he has not ever asked me to. We have known each other a long time and have always been good friends, He has tried to get a divorce before, but she threatened to kill herself and her baby (she had just found out she was pregnant) if he left her. At the moment we were only friends.

You cannot be responsible for this man or his wife's behavoir. But you are responsible for your own. Your love for this man and his wife needs to be that of Christian sister. They have made a life committment to one another of which you are not a part. Your responsibility is to help them (if you can) maintain that committment. If you cannot help them but may possibly sever to enhance the harm in their relationship, your responsiblity is to leave them alone.
Also, please think of yourself. Clearly, this "man" is not the kind of person you would want to commit yourself to--now or in the future. He is clearly immature (seeks vengeance by being unfaithful), crosses boundaries (discusses their intimate relationship details with another unmarried woman--you) and he is not taking responsibility in his place in life (as a husband and a father). This type of guy is actually an adolescent stuck in an older person's body. If you don't see him as this yet, you will. Please think of yourself, too!
Finally, if you are still not sure if it is okay or not, you can always pray about it! God always helps us to discern His will in matters of faith and morality.
Thanks for reading and God Bless!

Yes, it is wrong. No matter what reasons you give yourself, you know it's wrong. Who would want to share ther man with somone else anyway? I feel sorry for you.

No, u shouldn't feel bad, u should be ashamed of yourself for carrying on with a man KNOWING he's married. Of course he and his wife are no better than u because they both cheated on each other. And just because she cheated on him and is a horrible wife to him, it doesn't give u the right to be part of the problem so stop making excuses for him or u to cheat. This is between her and him and if u have any morals or self dignity, u would stay out of it. You're all adults so why don't u all start acting like one, starting with yourself.


SECRET woman
GURL gurl gurl,This is a spicy situation. Nah, you won't feel guilty until after it's over and you and the wifey tell each other some secrets. I understand that you are 19 and at that age you pretty much have things together, unfortunatley he does'nt and will not for a long time you know..... If you keep comparing your relationship to his wifes you will always have a problem . NEVER compare how a man treats you against the way he treats his wife. A wife as different analogy to her husband than a lover. and there are no Justifications to your actions, and becareful. Being too friendly to the wife while still having relations with the husband will lead to things that may be hazardious to your health..

Whether or not you feel it is wrong,what will you have in the end?
He will never leave her for you and you can count on it.
You only have so many years to work with in this life.Are you willing to waste a few of them for no return?
If you want to cheat,then cheat:just remember that it isn't called that for nothing.
You will feel cheated in the end.

When you are older & married someday, you will understand why this is wrong. For your own self esteem, end it. You are not 'dating', you are cheating...and older guys love to use young girls like you for their little games like this.

Too many wrongs won't make it right.

break it off and get out of the way, as it will hit the fan big time.

I would not have anything to do with him or his family. It's not going to turn out well in the future. Even if he does divorce his wife, she sounds smart and won't let him get much in the divorce.
He's simply trying to find a non-judgmental Alli to f.ck and get back at his wife with.

I'd run like hell from the drama.

YOU'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE. You should wait till their relationship is over.. .OMG.. you're gonna get burnt girl!

You are dating a MARRIED MAN and you are not much more than a child yourself. He is wrong to put you in this position! If you truly think you love him I would tell him you need him to file for a divorce, you are spinning your wheels and wasting your precious youth in the meantime!!!!!!!!

I think your too young to involve your self with this man. Age does not really matter. Its the way your getting pulled in the middle of it all. Its too close for comfort on your behalf. The last thing you need at your age is dealing with someone that of a middle aged couple problems in life. It does sound very awkward however, knowing you were only 9yrs old when he got married, but, like my father told me if it feels good it must be right. You should at least wait until they divorce on a moral prospective.


mtnlady
You say you need advice, but you justify your action because his wife is also being unfaithful. The only question you ask about the whole situation is whether it is wrong. I'm not condemning you -- I know you are only looking for affection, and so is he. But yes, it is wrong for him to seek fulfillment outside of his marriage. It is also wrong for you to involve yourself in his problem.

During their wedding (which you attended), the vows they spoke were supposed to be eternal and unconditional. Even if she cheated first, this does not create the option for him to cheat. If he broke these promises to his wife, why should you trust him?

Marriage is not always easy. I've had many unhappy days with my husband. Being unhappy in my marriage does not give me the right to cheat. There is no "happiness clause" on a marriage license.

Getting yourself involved in this family's problems will only bring you harm. Do the self-respecting thing and get out of the relationship with him as soon as you can. As I pointed out, you cannot trust a man who breaks these sacred vows to his wife.

YOU MUST HAVE VERY LOW SELF-ESTEEM TO ALLOW TO BE TREATED THIS WAY. BEING WITH SOMEONE ELSES HUSBAND IS WRONG. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS COMPLETE ONE RELATIONSHIP BEFORE STARTING ANOTHER.
TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT.......

I am here trying to get advice from everyone on being broken hearted by a married/seperated guy that i was in love with but broke my heart. And i was 19 when i met him. Please do not let this happen to you like what he did to me. Because its a pain that you wish not to ever experience. So be on your guard!!!


justagrandma
Are you so ugly that you either have to carry this mans baggage or never go out on another date with a biped again?
You should feel bad about getting involved with such a miserable situation. A cheating man, a cheating wife 2 innocent kids...misery on all sides. And no happy ending in sight, miserable wife will aggravate Mrs.2 till the end of time. Mr. Cheater will continue to cheat yea unto Mrs. 3 and 4 and the kids will put ex-lax in your chocolates because in their eyes you broke up the family. Oh yes and you betray the friendship with his family which doesn't speak well for you either.Wheres your self-respect? Don't you think you deserve something better? You could hardly do worse.
Get out girl. Run away. Now. Don't wait.

Get pictures of her cheating, that will force a divorce. , and he will be holding all the cards.


conan_0565
Yes it is wrong but that is not the question , Will he leave her for you , and will he ever do the same to you ? Answer more than likely yes . All old bucks like young does , but it hardly ever works out .

We are only friends, NOW THAT'S ORIGINAL, just like the sin, who are you trying to kid, (no pun intended), I wonder who is lacking in the self esteem department here?, I heard that same line 20 years into my marriage, six years later, I'm getting punished for keeping my vows. Anyway, this day and age in MODERN America there is no stigma for being an adulterer or es. But whatever you do as long as you can rationalize it, it must be O.K. Just like my devoted (attend church on holidays or when mom and dad visit to look good) Catholic future ex.

So are you doing something bad? nah, just tell the guywith collar and then say ten hail mary's and you'll be just fine>>>>>>>>>>>>>
