ON DATING MARRIED MEN: ‘If his wife isn’t making him happy, then why not?’

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball that you were not expecting, like finding out that the man you have been dating for nearly a year is married. What do you do when you have invested your heart in the relationship? With everyone looking for love, validation and compassion, are certain people off limits or does love truly know no boundaries?

This week we asked women, would you date someone else’s man?

Kizzy, 26:

No, I wouldn’t. What would be the point of the relationship? He isn’t mine.

Michelle, 31:

Well, it depends on if I like him. I know it sounds a bit off, but love is a funny thing. What if he’s not happy in his marriage or he’s legally married but separated, or if his wife lives abroad? It just depends.

Mona, 23:

That is a no-no for me. I’m not going to be the one to break another woman’s heart, worse if children are involved.

Jennifer, 38:

I have been there and done that and I will never go there again.

Sophia, 20:

I have been approached by married men before, but I have turned them all down. If you’re married, stop looking young women. Stay in the married lane and keep it moving.

Chloe, 33:

Why would I put myself in that messy situation? If your marriage is broken, go and fix it. Don’t knock at my door. I’m not a marriage counsellor.

Ava,35:

Nope, even if he’s not married, the fact that he is not single means he is not the one for me. God wouldn’t send me someone else’s man.

Gabby, 22:

Yes, I would. If his wife isn’t making him happy, then why not? Plus most married men are very generous.

Carlene, 27:

Not going to happen. I’m not going to love in the dark, my relationship has to be in the open. I’m not looking to play hide and seek.

Petal, 42:

I refuse to be a stand-by generator for any man’s heart.
