What do you do when you fall in love with someone you can't have?

For instance, being married to someone you can't live without but then also falling in love with someone you work with. You think theres something there, but marriages get in the way and you just don't know what to do. Do you go for it or leave it be?

    Forbidden love should be left alone. It can only bring hurt to you and everyone involved. If you can't live without your husband, how did you fell in love with another man? Try to work on your marriage and allow the other man to work on his marriage. This sounds like it could be a very ugly situation with a bunch of broken hearts.

    That's a difficult position to be in - for so many reasons. We are taught that it's socially unacceptable to have many loves, even though the emotion runs endless and with no boundaries. When you say marriage gets in the way, are you referring to your time with the other person, or your genuine happiness?

    I personally think it is possible to be equally as happy with both scenarios, and to "go for it" as long as you remember that life does not come without consequence - and if you accept that, think it through, then live it the way you need to.

    I want to dissect your brain. You are the reason women get treated like crap. You have a good thing and your cheating heart wants to break one so you can experiment whether your coworker can offer you something your husband can't.

    He is something new and refreshing and you can't mistake that for exhilaration. You have to recognize that its normal to feel like you do but to act on it is stupid.

    I feel bad for your husband. Maybe you have made him into a loser.

    Its a horrible situation your in. I understand that if you don't feel like your gettting the attention you deserve it would make you feel confused. YOu have to do what makes you happy. But the mistake is that you put yourself in a situation that allowed for that to happen. Before that should have occured you should have exhausted all options at making your current relationship work.

    Now its gonna get worse before it gets better and it is unnecassary stress during times when we could all do without it.

    Have you forgotten your marriage vows and faithful commitment to your spouse? DO NOT flirt with someone else wherever he may hail from. THINK how you will hurt your spouse, your family, his family, your kids if any- not your selfish sinful pleasures. Just thinking of it is adulterous! You have a choice to do what is morally right! Discipline yourself all the more as a sensible adult and a married one too!

    If you are married you keep your actions and emotions in check so you don't ever fall in love with anyone other than your spouse, and you just keep falling in love with them over and over again.

    Leave it be. Sorry but these people aren't available and its bets not to let yourself get that close to these people because you are setting yourself up for disappointment

    If everyone involved is married, then you will have to let it be. Your heart will break, you will need time. Good luck on this.
