What if he was really in love?
Yes, this situation exists. A man can sincerely love another woman while feeling trapped in a marriage he doesn’t dare break up. Fear of consequences, children, financial aspects or the way those around you look at them are all powerful obstacles.
The uncomfortable place of “the other”
Engaging emotionally with a married man often means accepting a secondary place. His family, his official daily life and his responsibilities come first. You may feel invisible, relegated to the background, forced to live in the shadows.
Over time, this position generates frustration, loneliness and a deep feeling of injustice. No woman deserves to be loved half or in secret.
