Will a relationship with a married man ever succeed?

Probably not...He has no insentive to move on because he has you on the side and still gets to stay married to someone else.  If he is having problems with one of you then there is the other so why would he need to ever choose.  The longer this goes on though the more likely it is he will break it off with you and return to his wife.  In the end your the odd one out and the easiest to get rid of.

well it depends on the two, how much they get to understand. as someone just said that both hv pros and cons, that is true. So i would say a marriage becomes success based on understanding between the two and it doesnt matter if love happened before or after marriage.

doesn't take that much actually. if two people established enough trust, respect, love, and open communication there are chances of a thriving relationship. Although misunderstanding and arguements are inevitable, patience and a little less pride are also ingredients of a good love life. If talking about reality, money is also a factor, let's face fact.

Line of communication is a huge thing. I have been married for 11 yrs and above all else this a huge factor. No good marriage is easy. You have to love that person and like them because passion comes and goes and you need that friendship and unconditional love to fall back on

Divorce him.  He'll never change.

they can, but it can be a lot of work if you don't live near one another.  i suggest choosing someone who lives in your area so that you can meet in person and start an off-line relationship if you decide that's where you want to take it.  i met someone online and now we're married, so i'm living proof that it can work!  :)

It takes time to find someone whom you have mutual chemistry with.  I had went on thirty or so dates before I met someone I wanted to even date a second time, let alone have a relationship with.  After about 4 years of dating, I finally met that one.  We dated for 2 years and have been married for four.  Don't give up, don't get discouraged, just make sure you keep improving yourself so you are ready to make a go at a successful relationship.

See a marriage counselor.  They are pretty good at letting you know if it will work out.\n\nIf you love him, he is probably right for you.\n\nBelow is a fun Mr. Right quiz...

Yes, people can fall in love online. Does it work out? Sometimes. My brother and sister-in-law met in a chat room, about ten years ago. They have been married since 1998 and have 2 kids.\n\nSometimes they are worth it. Sometimes they are not. You really can't get a definite answer with this question. If both people are willing to put into the relationship by treating each other with respect, trust, honesty, understanding, and the willingness to compromise and communicate thoughts and feelings openly, then things have a high chance of working out.\n\nThough sometimes the most perfect matches don't work out. Other things get in the way, like time and distance. It's up to the two people involved to judge whether it's worth it to continue. But I think it's worth giving it a try.

it surely can work. it worked with me and it still does. depends on how much you love and trust each other. and if you want to change this someday and be together for real.\ntell him what?

My friend did. They were together for 4 years and married for almost a year. I think that relationships that start online have a better survival potential because you bond over similar interests and values while in the "real" world the first attraction is always physical and cannot guaranty that you will have something to hold on to once the initial infatuation is gone. I am dating someone I met online as well and I couldn't be happier.

Yes...there definately is a future with a married man. It will be one of lies, pain, sneaking around and being on the bottom of his priority list....except for when he wants sex. The price you pay will be the loss of your self respect, confidence and the frustration of never having what you really need or want. You would be allowing him to have what he wants...to keep his family and possessions intact, and you on the side as his play toy...up on the shelf to use as he pleases. To even consider a future like that means you need to do some serious work on yourself...reach for the stars, not the bottom of the garbage dump!

I guess that goes to show that long dating/engagements aren't a guarantee that you'll know the person.  I dated my wife for two months before marriage, and we're doing great after already 5 years now. \n\nIf you married him, try to work it out.  Find common ground.  Pray to the Lord for help, He will do it.  \n\nDon't drag those children through the mess of a divorce.  Pray for help.

You can't expect the rough roads you will encounter.  No marriage is perfect.\nExpect differences, then talk to work them out.  Take the time to know each other and reserve time for this.  This will save ALOT of heartache and may prevent bitterness toward each other.\nNo one said marriage was easy, no one said it would too difficult to overcome.  \nIt takes sacrifice and work and true commitment to the other for it to succeed.

yeah sometimes they do, but that relationship often doesnt work out either. i see your dr phil nickname,, i watched a program of his a couple years or so ago where they stayed in touch with people where they met when one or both were married, had an affair, and then eventually left those marriages and moved in together or got married. the divorce rate of those new couples was HIGHER than the country avg of about 50%. it turns out that the trust issues transferred into the new marriage because they both already knew how deceitful they could be and started wondering if the same would happen to THEM now. it usually spells disaster. if the married person is unhappy they should leave the relationship and be on their own for awhile before starting something new. instead of stringing everyone along.

Yes, it can work, and it WILL work, if you honour the commitments you make to each other. Best wishes and congratulations !
