I've definitely seen alot of this type of situation. You know...you meet someone they tell you that they are involved with someone but they are not happy for one reason or the other. You guys decide to "be friends" even though it's plain to see that is a mutual attraction between the two of you. So some time passes, you get closer and closer. The person who is involved continues to tell you that they are soooooo unhappy and they would much rather start a relationship with you. They feed you that infamous line; you know the one "I wish I would have met you first". And you of course fall for it. So now you find yourself in a situation where you are now committed to someone who is still involved with someone else. So now what do you do?
The Good: Well in my opinion there really isn't a "good" side to this. But ok let's see...It is a possibility that they may leave. And if they leave and you guys decide to build a relationship, you may discover that you've come across your soulmate. And you may have been exactly what they needed to be able to move on to a better, much happier place. And then you'll get married and have lots of babies!
The Bad: The "involved" party may never leave the one that they're with. You may have been that little piece of excitement that they needed and now your time is up. Or maybe they do leave and decide to commit to you. But can you really trust them? What makes you "the one" and the other person so disposable? With questions like this floating your relationship may be destined to fail.
The Real: "Love conquers all" This is a quote that many have recited but they don't truly believe it. Not all situations start out the way that we plan. Sometime your soul mate may be with someone else and you may know that you are so much better for them than the person they are with. But this does not mean that you should take matters into your own hands. If this is REALLY who you're suppose to be with, they will make the decisions to completely end their relationship to explore things with you. If they tell you that it's not that simple you may have to settle for a friendship. I do not condone cheating. It not only hurts the person that is being cheated on but it opens the door for so many other problems.
