I had a gentleman send me a flower the other day so I sent him one back with a simple thank you. On his profile it states he is unhappily married. Call me a prude but I have a problem with this. I feel it is morally wrong for me to communicate with someone in this manner that is married even unhappily. I hate to be rude but of course you are going to be unhappily married if you are looking on line for a relationship. I got an email from him. I am not answering it. I just wanted to know has anyone else ever had this happen to them and how did they handle it?

No i haven't but if the fact he is married bothers you i would email him back & tell him that. Just say something like "Thank you for your flower & email, but i am not interseted in married men. Good luck in your search for someone else ".
That way you are being polite & getting your point across he is not for you due to his situation.

btw...not interested.
I take it is the married women you are not interested in Sorry I did not mean to imply a man would send you flowers. Maybe I should of worded it better. Significant other. I don't even think I spelled that right.
Yep I am always leading them right back to their wife and family and I dont encourage such emails and the flowers and ecards I tell them if you went out of your way to send your wife these things you may not be on a dating site surfing for another one

You are a mind reader. That is what was bothering me. The manners part. Being polite. I just was unsure if it was right to even email that. Thank you

Yes Happy, it's annoying when you meet someone who is looking to feather their nest, before they leave, I think men who do this are desperate and are NOT capable of being independant.
BUT in saying that, some may have a valid reason, but Im yet to meet one....

So it is common to have contact with married men. I have been here a little while and this is my first married one that I am aware of I agree with you.

I won't even email a married person back.Sounds rude I know but I don't trust married men who say they're in a happy relationship.There's alwways the chance that they'll go back to their wives.
I dated a man one time who neglected to tell me he was married.I ended that date fast.

I have been here only a few months..but sofar I have not had the "pleasure" of having to deal with that..thank goodness..but what I would do is just block him..then he can t bother you any longer.. this is connecting singles after all and not connecting cheaters..there are other sites for that..

Well there is a few married men on here but like in the real world they will try anything to get a woman's attention and it work's the same for married women too! But like in the real world just politely tell them thanks but no thanks.

I live in a small town and they can't hide being married from me. On line I just don't know if they don't tell or throw up red flags.
