When a married man says i love you

Has a married man told you that he loves you or are you dating a married man, and you find it difficult to end the relationship? Morally you know it is wrong, but you have fallen in love and he claims to love you more than any other woman. How do you spot the signs that he really loves you and he is not just using you?

A married man RARELY leaves his wife, but women always think he is genuinely in love and what they share is special which makes their relationship an exception to the rule.

According to Dr Kamal Khurana, a marriage and relationship counselor explains, “Women who fall for married men are usually seeking attention and emotional support. Since married men seem to be more experienced and mature, they get attracted towards them.”

Why a married man never leaves his wife

Marriage brings stability in a man’s life, and a married man cannot afford to lose that. A married man is attractive because of the positive effects of marriage. Men hate going through a divorce because it would mean starting over, losing access to kids, losing their assets and respect in society. They rather opt to stay married but still date other women. And in most cases, divorces are initiated by women and not men.

Why women prefer married men?

There are also women who date married men for companionship and money, so in their eyes, they don’t think they are being used by a married man. A woman posted the below question in one of the forums

“I was married for 7 years but I am now divorced. I am currently dating a married man, we have been together for two years and we have a son. He is loving and he pays my rent and also pays for my older son’s school fees. When I was pregnant with his child, I discovered that I am HIV positive and when I confronted him about it he admitted to being HIV positive and his wife doesn’t know about it. My question is should I tell his wife to go and get tested or should I just leave her to die?”

Such a woman thinks that a married man is not using her because she is benefitting from him sexually and financially. But according to me, she has already lost because this man has knowingly infected her, so she has given her life to a cheat and a liar. She has also lost her freedom because if she can also cheat on him or tell his wife, she will lose the relationship and financial benefits.

Signs a married man is using you

1. He wants to be in an exclusive relationship with you

One of the signs that a married man is using you is that he wants you all for himself, yet he does not want to leave his wife. He can cheat with you, but he does not want you to cheat on him.

2. He does not allow you to call him during certain times

A married man expects you to be understanding and not call him when he is with his wife, because certain times are reserved for family.

3. You can’t see him at any time

If you are not able to have access to your man at any time that you feel like it, it is a sign that he is using you. Because when he wants sex from you, he always finds you.

4. He uses you as a dumping site

A married will be telling you about his kids as if you are their stepmom but he never gives you the opportunity to formally meet them and build a relationship with them. He dumps his stress on you, but he will not upgrade you to wife status.

5. You have to be quiet on the phone when his wife calls

Another sign that a married man is using you is that his wife can never know that you exist. He can pick up his wife’s call in your presence yet he cannot pick up your calls in his wife’s presence.

6. You can’t be together in public

If you can’t freely walk around in public with him, or attend all your events with him, it is a sign that a married man is using you. You can’t even post pictures of your baecation like normal couples do.

7. He wants an abortion

If you happen to fall pregnant, he might suggest that you do an abortion.

Disadvantages of dating a married man

1. You are not in a normal relationship

On the times and days that you need him the most, he is not available. He is not available at night when you need to cuddle, or on certain holidays because he has to spend those days with his family. You can’t go out with him when you feel like it, or even go to your friend’s barbecue with him. You are in a relationship yet you still feel single.

2. You are forced to live a lie

Dating a married man will force you to lie to your family and friends because you know that it is morally wrong and they will talk you out of it. You even end up distancing yourself from them so that they do not make you feel guilty about it.

3. You are constantly under pressure to impress him

Because you already know that you are indirectly competing with another woman for his time, you are under pressure to impress him. You put his happiness above your own happiness and needs. You aim to excel in all that you do, be it cooking for him, ensuring he is sexually satisfied, and ensuring that your image is always on point.

4. You can’t accuse him of cheating

The man can also be dating other ladies besides you and you can’t really bring it up because he will use the wife as an excuse. If he can cheat with you, there is a high chance that he will cheat on you and read these signs a married man is in love with another woman.

Dangers of dating a married man

1. You will realise you have wasted your time

A married man will never leave his wife. It is either he will start ignoring you or you will eventually realize that there is no future between the two of you. And the years that you have wasted pursuing a married man cannot be regained. You have closed your chances of being in a relationship with someone who really loves you.

2. If you have his child, that child will not be his priority.

Men are not really good at taking care of kids, they only prioritize the children that they stay with on a full-time basis. If you bring an innocent soul into the world through a married man, the child will grow up resenting the father because he will not be there for him or her.

3. You are putting your health in danger

Knowingly sleeping with someone who is cheating is dangerous because what if his wife is also playful like him? Who knows who is contracting which STIs which will eventually be dumped onto you?

How to stop dating a married man

It is difficult to end a relationship with a married man because he will beg you not to leave him. However only a woman has the power to end the relationship.

It is important to know that men are very selfish beings, they only look out for themselves. They don’t really consider what is best for you, but rather what is best for them. They want to gain from you and they don’t want you to leave and experience real love from someone else.

So if a man cries for you not to leave, know that he is crying because he will lose and you will gain and he does not want that.

You should evaluate if being in a relationship with a married man is worth it in the long run.

Will there ever be a time where you are completely happy and free from the insecurities of thinking if he is also cheating on you?

Being loved is a blessing, but being in love with someone who does not love you can be a curse. Being in love does not mean that you are in a happy relationship, so does loving a married man really bring you happiness?
