[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend is in a relationship with a married man. She’s single (early-mid 30s, although briefly married at 19 and divorced by 21), no kids. She’s lived a bit of a tough life and tends to really grab onto any person who treats her relatively well. The guy is about 40, 3 young kids. He’s given her the usual married man having an affair runaround of “I want to leave my wife, we never have sex, I only stay for the kids” and all that good stuff. Of course she believes all of it. From what she’s told me and what he’s told her, the older two have special needs, one very severe and life-limiting, and the youngest is just a baby. They’re also pretty well-off. So she thinks this guy with a great job and a beautiful home is going to leave his stay at home mom wife college sweetheart and their 3 kids for her any day now. Suuuuuure .......

I’m honestly grossed out by the whole thing - I am married and can’t stand cheaters.[b] Is there any way to help her out of this situation while maintaining the friendship - she really is a good, if misguided in this respect, friend, who has helped me out a lot in the past and I do believe the guy is taking advantage of her in order to have a no-strings sexual relationship.[/b] Every time she texts me/our larger friends group about it, I’m kind of sick to my stomach imagining the guy’s wife in this situation.

Have you told her this? At the very least, if I couldn't "stand cheaters" I'd tell her that I don't think dating a married guy is ok and I don't want to hear about it. She sounds like a train wreck.[/quote]
