Make you do for love, what you would not do

[WoundedWild]

What is the likelihood that a man who claims to be so in love with you would try to break up a relationship you are in?

 

I know that sounds so confusing!

 

To give examples, lets say that you are a female, and in a relationship with someone who treats you like dirt but you havent found the strength to leave as of yet, though you know its a matter of time.

 

Lets say another man came into your life, and before too long, claims to have fallen madly in love with you. What is the possibility that this man would try to break you and your boyfriend up? Either overtly or covertly?

One would think if he was that madly in love with you, and couldnt do without you, he would first try to work on you a bit, and if that didnt work, move on to more stealthy tactics.

 

Additional questions:

1. Women, has this ever happened to you? If so, how did it come about and what was the final outcome?

 

2. Men, have you ever tried something like this? If so, give some examples. How did it come about and what was the final outcome?

 

3. Just how far would you go to get who you want in the name of some serious, hard to ignore, hardcore love? .. Dont be ashamed.

 

If you would prefer not to answer those questions (though I hope you do), Would you at least answer this one?

 

Do you think that a man who claims to be seriously in love with you will break up a relationship you are in (assuming you are in one) if all else fails?

Yes, only if they are being selfish and thinks only of their needs/wants and what they feel they can get out of it.

 

Its not love either, if he truly loved or cared for the person, then he would bow out of the females life and let her either work out her problems in the relationship she is already in, or until she gets out of it.

I'm a guy and I wouldn't try to break up a relationship* that someone else is in, because what is to stop someone else from doing the exact same thing? And as JackJack says, it is a sign of selfishness. Love is not exclusive and there are other fish in the sea.

 

* Note: This depends on what we mean by "relationship". Obviously, the situation would vary if the other person had only been seeing someone for a few weeks versus, say, months or years.

Yes it's possible. Would I try to break it up? Depends what you mean by trying. I wouldn't do something below the belt, but I'd consider trying to make her choose me over him, yeah.

I'll answer from a woman's viewpoint. I won't poach on a guy who's in a committed relationship, whether he's interested and of interest to me. There's no excuse for it.
