Dating a Married Man - How Do You Know You Can Trust Him?
Trust can be a huge factor in whether or not a relationship will end up being successful for the long term or not. Having trust in a relationship is something that you really cannot sacrifice on. It's hard to really trust a man you are dating sometimes, and there are situations that can make it even harder. When the man you are dating just happens to also be a married man... the trust is something that you can have a really hard time dealing with.
If you are dating a married man, how do you really know that you can trust him?
Well, there really is only one answer to this question, and it's probably not the one that you want to hear. Truth is, you can't really trust him, because you already know what he is capable of. Unless you are dating a married man who is currently separated, or he is going through a divorce right now, then you already know that he is capable of straying from a committed relationship.
Sounds like building a foundation on quicksand, doesn't it?
There might be some allure in dating a married man. It may be exciting to know that he has to duck out and see you on the side. And that can give you the feeling of being almost irresistible to him, which of course is a good feeling to have. On the other hand, when it comes right down to it, you already know the end of your story with him. Sure, there are *some* situations where a relationship with a married man ends up working out, but those are far and few in between.
While I cannot make the decision for you, you do have to see all sides of the issue. And then there is the reality that his wife may trust him right now, and look what he is doing to that trust. Even if she is past the point of being able to trust him, I am sure that at one time she did.
One of the biggest mistakes that a woman can make is to see the clear picture right in front of her, to know that a relationship with a man cannot and will not last and still go ahead with it. In the end, you are just setting yourself up for disappointment.
Will you ever be able to believe him when he walks out the door?
Let's just say that it did work out for the short term, and he ended his marriage and decided to be with you. Would you be able to trust him when he walked out the door? Would you wonder where he was going and if he was just feeding you a story, much like he did to his wife when he first met you? That is the real litmus test of whether or not you can ever trust a married man.
