How can you convince someone inlove that he/she is making the wrong decision by staying with a partner even though his/her partner is married?

Hi people don't tend to listen to advice from others and tend to make their own mistakes. I am not sure how you would go about this one I guess just talk to the person involved.

How about the part "his/her partner IS MARRIED"?! Don't people live by any religious, moral, or ethical code anymore? You cannot convince anyone of anything. If a person is with a partner who is cheating on a spouse, and KNOWS the partner is cheating on spouse, then the person has no integrity or honor. Neither does the partner.

I'm not sure how you can really convince them. Some people have to go through things and see it for themselves. They should not mess with a married person to begin with. Married people need to get a divorce before they start messing around. Some people say they will divorce their spouse but they never do. they just tell others that so they can go out and mess around on their spouses. I think two people must truly love each other to stay with one another. I think it is stupid to stay in a relationship with someone when they are married if they do not plan on divorcing their spouse.

People love the wholeness of a person reagardless of his plus and minuses. When people loved, it is accompanied with submissiveness. Meaning, one is ready for the risks he might encounter in entering and continuing the relationship. What I can say to those who fell in love with married ones is that I believe that they truly loved. Yet when things are already trying to open his eyes for the situation, and still he cannot act or resolve it in a right way -- "I can call it Love out of Stupidity". It just so happened that love is not a writing that can be erased by an eraser immediately. It takes time for you to be headbanged to realize that your stupid enough to continue loving.

Experience, they say is the best teacher. Those who love blindly are better left to learn on their own than to try forcing them to see reason with you. It hardly ever works.

You have to approach this one carefully...love is a mighty powerful thing. Depending on your relationship with this person who might be destined for devastation, you should try to get this person to open up to you. Don't be judgmental or tell them what you think they should do. Maybe ask them questions such as where do you see this relationship going? What if it ends...how will you handle it? Let them answer these questions and maybe it will even provoke some thought on their part.

Tell his or her partner's wife or husband-I bet they could convince them! LOL That's a tough question-keep trying-but ultimately, you'll just have to be prepared to be there for them if and when(more often when) they get hurt.

I don't think there is a surefire way of convincing someone about that. It's personal choice to stay or not. I suppose I can lay down the cons of staying with the commited person after that, it's really up to the person.
