I've got this cappie co-worker who has been dating this older guy for 8 years. The other day she told me that he is a married man, 20+ years or so. I asked her why she didnt end the relationship and she claimed to be inlove with him. He has promised to end his marriage several times according to her, but it never happened. She is still waiting..

Have u ever been in such a relationship?
How long did it last?
Who ended it and why?

Buckdich, how long were u together? How did it end and who ended it? This thing interests me because there are so many women involved in these kind of relationships and all their stories are similar- promises of a future that never comes. My own sister was in one for 11 years and he never left his wife for her. When she finally woke up it was too little too late because she realised how much time she has wasted on a dream. There's a forum about this on the experience project site and all the women there are also playing the waiting game. Very few got what they wanted. At least u went with no expectations. Would u ever do it again, date someone unavailable?

Its ok intriguedscorp i like reading/hearing messed up stories. Lol @ their ages though. My co-worker's married lover is in his 50's and she is 29, i thought it was her dad when i 1st saw him drop her off at work. Bringing me to another point, AGE (im an aqua lol we change gears fast). Would u ever date/Ever dated someone younger than u or someone really old? What was the age difference?

Yes, but in that situation, I expected to remain the side dish, since he was my side dish as well. It worked well. I figure, it's his moral responsibility for pursuing me. I'm not married to the wife, he was.



For someone who goes on about morals and such, you sure as hell don't have any... You lie and cheat, yet you don't want to come off as "rude." Interesting...

In regard to the question, nope, never. I don't think I ever could. My mind isn't wired like that.

Aw, that's so sad. I know of someone who's in a similar situation. He's not really expecting her to wait, but he hasn't stopped her from doing so, either. She's willingly doing it without his encouragement, which I find sad. I think it's worse because I know him and how he is with relationships and she's going to lose in the whole thing. 😢

What surprises me is that this entire story is as old as time, yet women STILL fall for it all the time. I wonder why that is...

i was in a relationship like this with that aries i dated ( not the one with bad gas). we were dating for 8 months. while we were cooking dinner together a soldier came knocking at his door and he told him that his wife had been injured and was recovering at a military hospital in alabama. i didnt know he was married. found out he had all her stuff packed in a storage unit a mile away from his house.
i ended it that day on the spot. he kept saying he was sorry, but i didnt want to hear it. we were already drifting apart but i was so disgusted, i left. never talked to him again for 2 months. then he started stalking me.

I recently was really close to entering into a relationship like that...kinda (would have only been sex, but hey).

Would have been all sorts of bad if I had gone through with it though. There's lots of reasons why I decided against it, but I would like to believe the most important reason I decided against it is because I didn't want there to be any hurt feelings.

Affairs are just bad business. Open relationships are completely different though, and don't even get me started on swingers! Isn't sex awesome? =)

^^i watched an episode about swingers on tlc's strange attractions. The couple there proved that, even their life style doesnt immune them from jealousy- the husband was becoming more sexually infatuated with the other woman. This to me shows that any kind of a love triangle is bound to leave someone with a broken heart. There's also something called poly-amory where people claim to have the capability of loving many people with the same level of intensity. BS! Even Cody (the husband with 4 wives in the show sister wives) claimed the same thing, but its obvious that he loves robin more. People are complex creatures

Have u ever experienced poly-amory? What i believe (in the case of pa) is that, 1 of the ppl loved has the heart of the lover and others are loved only for different reasons, eg sex. There's something also called poly-andry or something, people who are inlove with objects (also other humans at the same time). One lady engaged to a man believed that the eiffel tower was her soulmate, she cancelled the engagement and married the tower instead- she then changed her surname to eiffel. Another one couldnt have sex with her boyfriend because she felt like she was cheating on her drums, lol. Oi!

I've known a couple people who claimed to be poly-amorous. Very weird situations and yes, hearts were broken, jealousy, revenge, all of the emotions you would come to expect from it. In those situations though, it was one person who wanted the love of others and offered their love, but the partners were expected to remain monogamous. (A scorpio and a leo were the initiators in both situations I am aware of) Selfishness comes to mind. I've never known a three-way relationship to work, even when everyone is aware of each other. I guess swinging would be better than being poly-amorous because it's more casual, consensual and not quite as selfish.



I couldn't do it though, not on a serious level, and probably not casually either. That's just me.
