Are you familiar with the song: "Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else When the right one comes along..." Please be honest, have you ever been into this situation? What happened? What did you do? Did your significant other find out about it? What did he or she do?

Very timely, I am into that situation. I met the other one online and I think he is my ideal man, all his aspects fit my preferences but I can't have him because I do have a boyfriend of 3 years. Little by little I refuse myself chatting with the other one, I can't just waste 3-years in our relationship cuz I know my Bf loves me morethan anyone else, and it's hard to find that kind of love taht my Bf can give me.

First off, I love that song. It is sad, but I think if you are already committed to someone, then at one time in your life you thought he was the right one. I can say this after making many mistakes in my life. I was with someone and met another who I thought was the right one. We were so compatable. We would talk and laugh for hours! He was fun, but he was married and so was I. We did continue our relationship for a couple of months. Everything looked so much better when I was with him , besides the fact that we were ruining 2 families! Then one day it all came out. My husband was ready to leave me. Right at that point when I realized I was going to loose everything I had based my being on was when I realized that my husband was my right one! Happy to say we have resolved everything and we have a very strong marriage. Funny how my right one was with me all the time.

To be honest I haven't been in such a situation and I whope I won't. To not let this happen you shouldn't be with someone who doesn't deserve you. Wgen you really find the right person for you then you'll belong to him only.

I would say for some people, when they get into a relationship, they do it too quickly, and without really knowing who THEY are much less WHO they want to be with... so sometimes it's not that perfect match. If that match becomes unbearable and miserable and the right person comes along, you have to be honest with that with yourself and the one you're in a relationship with before moving on. Evaluate what's so different in the person your with and the one you want to be with.. and why? Is the one you are with different now than he was when you got together, or are you? And what makes this new person so special?.. What makes that person different from when you thought 'the one you are with' was the right person? Make absolutely certain it fits and the one your with has no hope of fitting before moving on

it really is sad to belong to someone else... its also fustrating when you cannot do anything about it. the i like also likes me, we went out 2 times but i had to stop because he is married! i dnt want to be labeled a home wrecker. if only he was single i would really pursue him but i believe in karma and i dont want to have someone else ruin my relationships. so yeah, its sad to belong to someone else...
