Getting involved in an emotional affair with a married man leads to heartache every time. He may lead you to think that in you he’s found the woman of his dreams and that if only he could make you his wife, then everything in his life would fall into place and he’d be happy. You want to believe him, but the reality is that it’s only a fantasy. Most married men and married women that have emotional affairs never intend to leave their marriage. In many cases they are trying to escape from the problems in their life by imagining a better life with someone else.
Although emotional affairs often don’t go any further, sometimes they become physical. This is usually planned in advance when the man or woman wants to have an extramarital affair but they typically don’t advance beyond that. In other words, the married person wants to stay married. In some cases married men look for married women to have affairs because they hope to find someone who is equally hesitant to leave her spouse. That doesn’t stop the woman from wanting to leave with her new lover.
No matter what is promised or told during an emotional affair, the expectation is usually the same. The married man wants his fling while the woman longs to be whisked away to a happier life of romance and love. When the man doesn’t reciprocate, the woman is left broken hearted. The man will try to prolong the fantasy for as long as possible to continue enjoying the rewards that come with the affair, but when the woman starts to demand that the man pick one woman, the ultimatum rarely ends in her favor. Married men usually stay with their wives.
Why does the married man having an emotional affair refuse to leave his wife? The reasons vary. Sometimes it’s a matter of money. Not wanting to divide or even lose the assets accumulated during the marriage is reason enough to keep some men in an unsatisfying marriage. In couples with children, men and women often sacrifice their own happiness to spare their children from growing up in a broken home spending time in two different homes with each parent.
Whatever the reasons, it’s never good to get involved in emotional affairs with married men or married women. The other person rarely is chosen and is often left heart, betrayed and confused.
