Would You Cheat With A Married Man?

With all the cheating scandals out there these days (hello Tiger, Jesse and allegedly Reggie) and a wealth of magazines to blow them up, the idea of cheating has been on my mind a lot lately. That may be due to the fact that I’m more wondering about the “ladies” these sleezeballs are sleeping with. I use the term “ladies” loosely because let’s face it not one of them has a shred of dignity (except maybe Rachel who parlayed her cheating into a million dollar settlement to keep her mouth shut, a job as a correspondent and possibly a role on the next season of Dancing With the Stars). As you can tell, I read a lot of gossip.

Anyway… I know there are instances where the other woman could have been duped into sleeping with a married guy buy how often? And where was their supposed innate sense of intuition that is so touted about women? I think you can definitely tell if a guy is off the market. If not right away, then pretty quickly. So I had to ask myself, would I ever knowingly help a man cheat on his wife? I say wife because there is a permanency to that promise and exchange of vows that the other woman really damages. Rather than a couple, she has the opportunity to really do some serious damage to a family, a career, friendships and a reputation.

I try to steer clear of saying I would never do something because

1. It’s more likely that I will (for instance, sometimes I don’t shave figuring it will stop me from being a ho. It doesn’t)
and

2. I’d be a hypocrite and you just don’t know what you would do in that situation until you’re knee deep in the shit with two options that both seem viable.

As you well know, I have a gym crush who recently had a baby. And I just discovered he IS married but doesn’t wear his wedding ring in the gym. He keeps it in his car, rather than the locker room and I would assume 9 times out of 10 that the guy is looking to cheat when the ring comes off but considering he’s mentioned her and their child to me multiple times without commenting on marital discord I highly doubt it. The fact is, despite his propensity to GTL, his wealth of piercings and tats, and his inexplicable taste in everything I hate in terms of style, he’s a genuinely nice and funny guy. Not to mention attractive with a body I’d love to run my hands all over. So, I cannot definitively say, “NO, I’D NEVER DO THAT”. In fact, I’m pretty sure if he asked me to hang out away from the gym I would say yes. And if somehow that turned into something sexual, I have a feeling my conscience would put up a token resistance before succumbing to “This could be something you regret. But you might regret it more if you don’t let him just pound right into you.” I also wonder if I was having sex regularly if that would stop me or if I’m admitting to this because my vagina is begging for me to be slutty.

What about you guys? Have you/ Would you be the other woman? Maybe you are currently- no judgement here (in fact, tell us about it anonymously below!). Have you cheated on a boyfriend/spouse?
