If you’ve ever had a crush on a woman who is either married or in a committed relationship, especially if they seem happy in their relationship, what goes through your mind? I am in my mid 30s and I have seen men around my age who are obviously attracted to their female friends who are in a happy/committed relationships, and sometimes the men themselves are also either married or have their own committed relationships, whether happy or not I have no idea- but I have seen these men really try to connect with those women, chat with them frequently, hang out with them as much as they can, etc. I’m wondering what goes through your mind (if this has happened to you before), if there is an end game, if you think there’s a chance that the women you’re attracted to might leave their boyfriends/husbands, or if you just try to take what you can get? *Edited to clarify that I am not personally having a crush on any woman who is taken lol but I’ve seen it happen more frequently recently around me so I’m curious about what goes through the minds if this has happened to you. **Another edit to clarify, I’m not talking about men who genuinely just want to be friends with those women. I’m talking about men who have shown obvious signs that they’re down bad, those who have tried to cross boundaries by being verbally inappropriate, sometimes even physically, been jealous of the women’s bfs/husbands and tried to discredit their relationships, etc. submitted by /u/peerless_cucumbers
