As a helping professional, it can sometimes be difficult to tell someone “’'m
sorry, I can’t help you.” This concept came to my attention recently, on two
separate occasions, when I received questions from women who were dating married men. At
first, I thought that I would answer them and help them with their dilemnas and lay out their
decisions. But then I stopped myself – I realized that I can’t help everyone, and
that I am better spending my time and energy helping singles with less complicated relationships.
So, I have to say “I’m sorry, I can’t help you”. Rarely does
it turn out that a single person having a relationship with a married person turns into one where
there the cheating spouse actually does get a divorce and marries the one they were having the
affair with. And truthfully? Who's to say if someone cheated on a spouse in the past, that s/he won’t
do it again when with you?
