Single woman can’t get married man off her mind

Dear Bella: I have been seeing a guy for about three months now. He used to come to my coffee shop every day and somehow he swept me away. Right away I knew that he was married because he would wear his ring every day.

After a few weeks of seeing him he removed his ring. I am not expecting anything; well at least I try not to. What bothers me is that he wants to be in a relationship with me. He is not with her because she is in France; he says that he and her are done and that he is working on it, yet I can’t help but think how can he want a relationship with me if he is technically married.

He is here for work and he has told me that he plans to go back to France, and when he says that, it doesn’t bother me because I can’t foretell the future, but the problem is that I feel rushed into being in a relationship. I want him to get himself cleared because obviously he has some issues that need to be resolved, but I can’t help it but wanting to see him! Any tips that you can give me?

Best Regards,

JZ.

Dear JZ,

If he and his wife are done why is he going back to France? I hope for your sake it is to file for divorce because he is not “technically married” but actually still married. I really think that women just make their lives more dramatic by committing themselves to situations that cause more hurt in their lives.

If his marriage is not working or his wife has cheated on him and he loves you why should he hesitate to leave the marriage? Married people should try to work out their issues and not try to try to get in the underwear of someone just because they’re experiencing stumbling blocks in their relationships. Moreover, others should not try to come between a marriage; that is dangerous ground you’re walking upon.

Really you need to allow this guy to solve his problems and not drown you into it, because you don’t know what is happening and you only have his word. If one day for any reason though he tells you he is divorced you should let him show you the proof of that too; he might just be looking for a mistress- if he already doesn’t have one.

Bella.

    Why are so many of these women attracted to married men? In the world I grew up in a person became interested in a person of approx the same age who would be hoping to meet somebody of approx the same age and of course they would both be single. JZ didn’t attract an unattached man in her own age bracket. Now she wants us to believe she is being sought by a married man! If so, it is obvious he is not making it with the very woman he chose to be his wife! If he is willing to break his marriage vows – and she encourages him to break his marriage vows – they are both losers. This would be a bad mix because two losers do not a winner make! Now JZ here are a few things you should know. (1) This man is deceptive. When you met him he was wearing a wedding band. When he started getting interested in you he took it off probably hoping you had not noticed it. If so, he is also a fool, because this is the FIRST thing a single girl notices! (2) You have no proof who or what he has in France and have no way of knowing unless you want to spend a small fortune to have a private investigation done. (3) How could you ever feel secure with a man who decided he and his previous wife were “done” and decided to leave her? The chances that someday – probably sooner than later – he would decide he and you are “done” are very high. After all, he would know that he had married (or was in a “relationship” with) a woman who didn’t respect marriage vows and had no regard for the moral laws of God. There would not exactly be the kind of cement between you that holds a man and woman together. (4) He has told you he plans to return to France. Can you not see he is setting you up? He obviously wants a woman to have a fling with while he is away from home and he is dangling a carrot in from of you like a man on a mule. He said he and his wife are “done”? JZ, I can tell you this is the lie that men use most. The more they tell it better they get at it and the more convincing they sound. Worst of all, you may not be the only woman he is using it on. JZ, I realize your letter was posted almost three years ago. By now your situation may have changed for the better. If not I hope you will weigh my comments and turn around. There are many other women out there in similar circumstances. What I have written sounds harsh. But it is not nearly as harsh as the life you are heading into. I am an ordained minister trained in pastoral counseling. I can assure you a better life awaits you if you will honor God and obey His laws! Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

    Girl there are worst issues in life than loving a married man …some of you all are taking this too
    personal I can actually pick up the venom in your responses….the heart is not so smart and sometimes we fall in love with the wrong people…all of you all hollier than thou mr and mrs perfects
    leave the poor woman alone if the man is lying to her then she is also a victim…girl enjoy yourself give it to him good but keep your head secured on your shoulders…make sure he spend some money on you just so you don’t waste your time….just make it worth your while….and all of you all who jealous learn to keep your husband, man, boyfriend whatever you want to call them these days in check….learn to keep your man happy

    @panda: Hi Panda, they will never leave the men alone. Many women out there want polygyny more than men and when we as a people come to terms with that then we can move on at a more mature stage of understanding our sexes.

    Polygyny has occured from time memorial even before Moses and will continue up to this day. God All Mighty even allowed inheritance for both wives from the dead husband.

    In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

    To JZ: Men and women must accept polygyny (the allowance for a man to have plural wives once he is just to both as a condition). Hypocrisy in our society is dangerous. You JZ should not commit adultery with him however, you may consider marriage with this man after looking into his background and you are pleased with him. What he does with his wife or ex-wife, this is not your issue. This is his responsibility. If he is mature, he should not dump his problems on your back.

    JZ, take your time, see what this man brings to the table. Why he removed the ring from his finger suddenly? As for you, do your part as a woman, deal with the situation as maturely as possible.

    I smell danger and dishonesty there. What i can’t understand about some men, married and single they will come to you and tell you that there is problem in their homes and relationships. Men will make up all sorts of stories about their wives and girlfriends just to start another relationship. That is really sad. Girl run as fast as you can if u r looking for a relationship with him you are in for trouble and heart break, if you are open minded stay on and be wise.

    Love is sponateous! All man is man, if he is married expect part-time loving. But you will still be getting loving. It beats being lonely with a dildo or doing za-me!!!! Girl go for it, love you man, nothing stays constant. today he is married, tomorrow he might not be. But remember one thing, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bushes, so love your man hard or leave him alone! PS: married men could be lots of fun, with no clean their mess.

    I believe that all of those women who write those letters are just looking for attention.

    It is just impossible for me to believe that any adult in their sane mind is confused an uncertain about what to do with a married man who wants to hang around with them.

    Perhaps we should start ignoring them, by not commenting to their letters.

    There no excuse for getting involved with a married man. PERIOD!!!!

    Check the courts and u’ll be surprise to know that the divorce rate in D/ca is a staggering 32%.
    81 – divorces and 251 – marriages.

    So everyone that’s there making comments about foolish this and foolish that be warned. People are getting married these days without giving it enough thought and deceit and lies. The #1 reason women find themselves (as wives) in this situation is because the traditional values are gone or diminishing. I’m a married man & I’m loosing all the respect, love, emotion for my wife in just under 3 years of marriage. Why? Not because I’m chasing or looking for any “little ting” that passing but because she’s not treating me right even though I try my best to take care of her on all levels (financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically, all the ally’s … lol). I’ve never cheated but surely we’ll divorce soon and D/cans will say “see dat, after all that hard time she put up with he divorce her and have other woman enjoying what she work for”

    Men don’t take your women for granted.
    Women don’t take your men for granted.

    I find it disheartening that people are coming here very frequently to ask Bella for advice of getting into a relationship with married people especially women wanting to fall in love with married men. There are so many single individuals here with good qualities .Come out under the clouds of illusions and fantacies with those married people . Advise them to go back to their wives. What makes you all think you all wont get a backlash? Remember they were so very much in love with that same woman thats why he took her to the altar and take the marriage creed .Ladies be careful is all i can say.

    Girl, the man will go to hell and come back with lies just because he wants to get a piece and when all is done he will go home to his wife and forget you ever existed. Right now he feels like a bird out of a cage because he is away from his wife. That man is a straight up cheater and a player. Hope his wife catches him

    @da.: it seems u are another of the unintelligent girls that are stupid to entertain a relationship with a married man. lol may the force be with you.. Dont know when girls like you will learn to get your own, and then it will always be your own. Dont know when you all will be smart enough to realize that any man that loves you truly and wholy will never have you in such a situation and i would really like to see when you turn into a woman and realize the nonsense you believed in before.. Learn to be a strong woman! Dont let a man fool you.. remember that

    Be certain you know what you doing, because married men seldom leave their wives for girlfriends,
    the satistics are very low. When they do however, the end up leaving you for someone else.
    Make sure you think this through, it is never worth the hurt in the end.

    I think DNO should add a new column to this website ” A Dear God ” Column .Clearly these people need some divine intervention.Majority of the letters addressed to Bella relates to some extra marital affair or some promicious behavior , numerous sexual partners or encounters or some issue along that line.These articles have more drama than a soap oprah and a romance novel combined.

    JZ let me give you some advice and i am certain most of the commentors will give you similar advice……………………stay away from the married man……….he will break your fragile heart…………………….. he made a commitment to his wife yet he is interested in you , so who says he won’t be interested in the girl at ritual, kfc or subway or some othere coffee shop…………………………….i know this sounds cliche but please wake up and smell the coffee……………….he is going back to his wife

    I am tired of these women wanting to fall in love with married man…This will bring a curse upon this land..Are these women Dominican, or is this Bella thing a regional thing..There are many guys out there who want to commit themselves into a marriage relationship..One will come your way.Pray for it,but do not ruin a relationship,believing that your own love life will be better than the one you ruined….No way!!!! LEAVE MARRIED MEN IN PEACE LADY !!!!!

    Leave the married man alone. Unless he dont show you the divorce papers assume he is lying to you. Let him show you proof he is legally divorced and then proceed into your relationship. I mean what kind of relationship can you have with a married man. You will have no future with him.
