Barrellofart: Really, no one here would be interested to try to help out the 'offender' in the sense of really talking his indiscretions over with him/her?
Lets say that someone you have known for a very long time...a married somebody, approaches you one day and gives you this offer:
"I love my wife (or husband) and I'm not going to leave them. I think they are fooling around on me and I have on them. But I think you are hot and my wife (or husband) is not satisfying me lately.....so can we get it on and you not tell."

To the end of, 'Hey, are you sure you're really interested in this? Are you just doing this because you're hurt? Why don't you talk it over, see if there is a misunderstanding? What are you other options? Can you still have any kind of integrity if you engage in this sort of action? Even if you're hurt, aren't there other ways to get over it?'
I once had a friends wife make a similar offer (they are now divorced) but I declined. It sounds fine in theory but in reality it means telling lies, betrayal and an awful lot of other complex stuff including not being able to look a friend in the eyes.
It's not so much that I'm a prude but I just couldn't be bothered with the grief it would cause me.

Speechless darlin;but i would think they were insane...

Understood , however to me , it sounds like the guy has no conscience or regard in any case ....if he had he would not be propositioning his wifes friend ?
woodzchick: I'm glad you brought this point up. After I told him that there was no chance of this thing happening, I tried to get him talking about his wife.....in a good way. I told him that regardless of what he thought she had did to him, it gave him no right to cheat on her. I told him that messing around on his wife was only going to make things worse. I encouraged him to try every avenue he could to heal his relationship with his wife. If he couldn't manage to do that, then why stay with her and they both be miserable? He told me that they would never get a divorce.....ok....great....then work on your marriage and quit trying to get some on the side thinking that would make things better.
I think that everything I said went in one ear and out the other.
You are a good person woodzchick , and it was nice of you to try make him see sense . However I think yoiu have more than done your bit to help and should still protect yourself with distance.

I have had it happen to me. Once it was an employer. I was indignant. I just quit the job. I was so repulsed by this guy, I couldn't bear to be around him. He was kind of repulsive anyway, even without the offer.
I think the tendency is to question yourself, like "What did I ever do to make him think I was that kind of woman?"
The truth is probably nothing at all. They are just testing the water, and will move on to the next person, until they get a taker.

Yes.....staying away from him all together. I will say "Hi" passing by. I'll try to act like I always do.

If he can afford to treat you the same way he treats his wife with the finner things that life has to offer go for it.

Oh MY! Your employer....that's about as worse as your neighbor.
woodzchick: I still can't believe that it happened. I didn't beat around the bush when I expressed how wrong I thought it was. I've been in shock all night. The bad part about it.....I didn't do anything to deserve this. I don't mess with people. I stay to myself and mind my own business. I definitely don't flirt with married men. For someone that I know to approach me with this just blows me away.
I now feel compelled to tell his wife and I know that that will be like pouring gas on the fire. She will probably never view me the same again and I didn't do anything to deserve this. It really just sucks!! I can see if I brought it on myself, but I didn't. These people are my neighbors and I happen to think a lot of her. I am not a deceitful person and I will have no peace with myself until I tell her what has happened. Then you can only imagine what is going to happen. It's a no win situation.
I just read this reply tell you i wouldn't be the one to tell her it may come out later about how he asked you but she'll find out what hes doing without you telling her. Really not sure she'll care she is doing same, but when it comes to friends it might hit her between the eyes and wake her up. Don't beat yourself up hes not worth it and like you said you did nothing wrong.

The thought that he would think to ask me when he has His queen bee at home would annoy me. What he think? I am not carpet or dishrag I am royalty too so girl you look elsewhere You neither want him now or divorce because he is going to treat you worse
