Q: What’s the deal with so many singles chasing and having “serious” relationships with married people?
I know too many singles (both men and women) who consider themselves deeply in love and off the market with someone married. As a divorced woman, I find it mind boggling that so many men I meet are in the love triangle and not truly available for single women.
What’s a single woman to do, and how do we compete when the playing field is so skewed?
I guess married just means not available every single night of the week. Sad….
– Very confused
SCOTT: Great question, and I know what you mean.
You know how sometimes what’s on someone else’s plate looks better? Well, it’s sort of like that. And love triangles are far more common than we might want to think.
There are even MBA (Married but Available) websites to hook all these monkeys up!
Some women go after married men for the forbidden challenge, some do it for the excitement. Take just a woman/man with a fear of commitment and add one attention-starved married man/woman and voila! Instant love triangle!
But the good news is, not everyone is this way, bright reader, and you know better than to mingle with “singles” who are not truly available.
That’s a good thing, because all too often the attraction ceases when the married person leaves their spouse for the single person and the fantasy of the whole thing fizzles.
