If you're sleeping with a married man, can you cheat?

I've noticed that a lot of married men have both a wife and a girlfriend. Do you think it is unrealistic for a woman to believe that he never has relations with his wife? Is it even more unrealistic of him to believe that the girlfriend never cheats?

believe it or not it just the matter of s3x.. what is best having an affair with married man is they will never tell the world that "i get laid last night" to compare with single man who will tell all his buddies. LOL!!!

There are pros and cons with the relationship. Of course one pro is that they don't spread the word and one con is they can spread worse. The actual question is: Would you consider it cheating on him if you slept with someone else? Again, there are many factors. Are he and his spouse in an open relationship? If a woman accepts that he is committed and sleeps with him anyway, regardless of anything else, would it be considered cheating on him, not to him, on him?

then the right to do in here..is to get rid out of a married man and live a life with happy and with same sigle heart person like you..you have to investigate a man who is courting you in the present always think of your future..because it would never happen that a married man will gonna choose you.

Cheating is a messy situation. I am not saying the perfect situation is not to cheat. One can have many reasons for cheating and even if cheating only occurs in the mind makes it no less cheating. I would not recommend it to anybody but sometimes it's the only thing there is to preserve your sanity.

I'm kinda confused. well, i hate married men who cheats with their wives. In the first place, they should have not asked his "now wife" to get married at all when he is gonna cheat and have "another"! It is so unfair for both parties, the wife and the girlfriend! And, how could they know that the girlfriend won't cheat? they should be scared.. They should trust their wife more than the girlfriend! hello! remember that they both vowed in front of God's eyes.. and now, he's cheating on her?! oh, have mercy on that married man's life!

Yes to both. A guy who so easily cheats on his wife most likely still has relations with her, too. Otherwise the wife would quickly get suspicious of him having an affair, lol. The second is a bit less unrealistic as women in love have the tendency not to cheat on the object of their affection. But if the girlfriend knows he is still married and starts the affair anyway her moral level is already low. In that case having another lover besides the married man is possible.

All the comments here seem to revolve around how low women are who sleep with married men. What about the men themselves? Surely they are the despicable ones? I agree it's wrong to go after married men but I think in the majority of cases women don't set out to go out with married men. Why out of choice would a woman choose to put herself in a situation where she can never have a proper relationship, can only enjoy snatched moments and will always come second? Believe me, married men who regularly cheat are the ones that deserve our scorn and contempt, not the women who fall for their so called charms.
