How Do You Know When A Married Man Will Leave His Wife?
The Essence of a Relationship with a Married Man Being in a relationship with a married man is complicated and lends itself towards much confusion on both parties’ sides. It is certainly not an uncommon situation: over 40% of marriages fail and often the breakup involved a third party. The complications begin with how the affair came about in the first place.
The scenarios…
A married man could actively seek out an affair or it could be something that somehow happens and then they end up in a position where they are confused and unclear. Either way, the relationship has an unnatural tinge to it, mixed up with the dynamic of the man’s marriage and all of the questions around the future.
In some cases the man is very clear about the fact that they only want an affair – whether they state it openly or not. They have no intention whatsoever of leaving their partner. Some men know in their hearts that they will leave their marriage and it is only a matter of time. Others are confused and honestly unsure of what they want.
The state of their marriage…
That very fact that a married person gets involved with you tells you that what is holding the marriage together is not honesty and love. The moment they engage in an affair, it says that something is broken or wrong in the marriage. This married man is caught between the size of these difficulties and their desire and willingness for something different and something new.
These issues impact your relationship with this person and are what make the situation so unnatural and difficult to unravel.
The issue of honesty…
There is a difference between a man who has a one night fling in a drunken blur after a conference and a man who consciously engages in an ongoing relationship outside of their marriage. The former may genuinely have made a mistake and may experience huge remorse and regret; however, the latter simply cannot have as much of a sense of guilt if they engage in an affair deliberately. This person is operating at a deeper level of dishonesty which must be considered.
People like to think that the affair is out of character of the man, but this must be looked at more closely. One needs to assess if this is a person who lies in other areas of their life. Is this a person with a tendency to be dishonest?
