The rules for dating a married man

As a reasonable, logical person, you might look at how he’s acting and assume that he must want a divorce — otherwise, why would he treat his loved one so badly? If this is how he treats his wife, do you really think he’s going to treat you better?!50% of marriages break up after the discovery of infidelity.

I’m here to tell you to ignore those feelings and the impulse to call him and tell him it’s over. After all, you don’t deserve a loving man of your own. Just be thankful you can’t put a price tag on character.

But here’s the cold, hard truth: pursuing a married man isn’t worth it. A reformed cheater is like the story of the giant alligator living in the sewers.

If you have eyes for a married guy, you’re probably sitting here looking for every excuse under the sun to rationalize what you’re thinking of doing.

In most cases, it’s the wife who leaves the husband.

If this happens in your affair, expect your married man to be begging his wife to take him back, rather than showering you with roses.
