Have you fallen in love with a married man? You may think you have found your soulmate, but the reality of such a relationship often brings more pain than joy!

A story about falling in love with a married man it is not just part of movie scripts or novels, but a real experience faced by many women around the world. Love it's complicated, and when you find yourself in a relationship with a man who has already committed his life to another woman, it becomes even more complex.

Every story is different, but the common denominators remain: a mixture of passion, mystery, guilt and imminent pain. Although at the moment it may seem that you have found your soulmate who understands you more than anyone else, over time the dark sides of such a relationship become apparent.

Maybe you're attracted to his maturity, his stability, or the way he looks at you like you're the only person in the world. Perhaps he told you that his marriage was long dead, that it was only a matter of time before he left his wife?

1. You believe him because you want to believe yourself

Reality is often far from the idealized image you create in your mind. Even if your meetings are full passions and promises, the reality of living with someone who is already committed to another can be extremely difficult. Once you get involved in a relationship like that, it is hard to leave. Emotional attachment, hope and promises can keep you trapped in a cycle of uncertainty and pain.

It is important that face reality and recognize the truths that accompany love for a married man. These truths are not here to distract you from your emotions, but to help you understand what awaits you on this journey and perhaps allow you to choose a different path, before you get too involved.

2. Divorce is not a guarantee

You may believe that you are special because he chose you over his wife; more attractive, younger, better. But if he has almost left the marriage, you are just the closest way out. It is rare for men who leave their wives to stay with the first woman who offers them a way out of the marriage.

3. In the end, you will be the one chasing him

At the beginning of the affair, he seems to want you badly. You didn't want to be the other woman at first, but this dynamic can't last. You are always available to him, he is not to you. Over time, you will lose confidence and trust in his feelings.

4. Your life will be on the sidelines

Even if your love never turns into a physical affair, it can still be harmful. Don't be the one to go on trips with your married boss or co-worker. You deserve to be someone's center, not hide in the background.

5. Both are guilty of a bad marriage

His role in the "bad" marriage is important, and you will never know the whole truth. If he says that his wife is "crazy" or "possessive", it may be because he behaves inappropriately with other women. Or maybe he has other problems that he successfully hides from you, but that would destroy your relationship if you were together.

6. He is satisfied with his life

Some men choose a woman who takes care of the home, while they look for exciting women who do not know much about cooking. Although his attitude is questionable, understand that he is. You won't change it. He likes his separate life. As long as his wife takes care of the children and the home, he will only share good times with you - nothing more.
