It doesn’t matter how many people tell you that it’s wrong and that it can only end in tears, that still doesn’t stop you from falling for a married man. We are all only human and it can happen. What’s really important though is how you deal with it, when it does happen. If you’ve fallen for a married man and it seems certain that it’s going nowhere, then here are 10 tips according to Beauty and Tips magazine on how to get you out of what might seem like an impossible situation:
- Face the facts
Our first tip on how to fall out of love with a married man is to face the fact. You have to face up to the reality that, when it comes to the crunch, most married men who have affairs do not leave their wives. They might say they will, they might be tearing themselves apart trying to make a decision, but more often than not, they will end up trying to keep both, their mistress and their wife, and this is not you dream life, is it?!
- Put yourself in the wife’s shoes
Do unto others as you would have them do to you! Think what it will do to his wife, if and when he does leave her and think about all the unpleasantness that may follow. Yes, it takes two to make a marriage fail, but do you want to be the catalyst that makes that happen?
- Would he stay with you anyway?
Another tip on how to fall out of love with a married man is to ask yourself some important questions. Once he has finally broken free of his wife, you have no guarantee that he will stay with you. There are three things to think about here. Firstly, if he has done this before he can do it again. Secondly, once he gets a taste of freedom, he might like the freedom more, than he wants another serious relationship and, thirdly, there is still a good chance that he will repent and return to his wife. Either way, you are left heartbroken.
- Will you ever forgive yourself?
Once you get over the ‘honeymoon’ phase with this guy, how will you feel about yourself? Will you be able to forget that you broke up a family to get your own way or will that guilt be playing on your mind for a long time to come?
- You are worth more, than this
Next good tip on how to fall out of love with a married man is to remind yourself that you are worthy of the best. Think about yourself in this relationship. Are you content grabbing the few moments of secret time together with your married lover that he allows you? Evaluate the situation and ask yourself what you really want from a relationship and it will help you understand yourself better.
- Learn from the experience
Accept what has happened and learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes and this could be one of yours. That doesn’t make you a bad person, so accept what has happened and move on.
- Forgive yourself and forgive him
Remembering about forgiveness is another good tip on how to fall out of love with a married man. No one was forced you into this situation and, probably, no one wanted it in the first place, so accept that these things can happen and it’s actually no one’s fault but, accept too, that it’s better for everyone, if things come to an end.
- Ending an affair might even be better for him too
Remember that he might even be relieved that the affair is ended. He might be finding impossible to end it himself, but deep down, he could be wishing that it would end.
- Remind yourself that it is best for you
Falling out of love with someone is not easy. You have to remind yourself that, above all else, you are doing what is right for you. It’s not just for the moral reasons that you need to do this, it’s not because other people say that you should; it’s because, in the long run, it will be the best thing to do, for you.
- Look forward and don’t look back
It’s not a great situation to find yourself in, but it’s not the end of the world! Take stock of where you want to go from here and start to think about the things that you can do once you are free from this tangle. You will find love again and, hopefully, the next time you do, things won’t be so complicated.
