The answer isn't obvious. State your opinion, sex, and thoughts.

How do you feel about pursuing a co worker that is in a relationship, you are aware they are in a relationship, but pursue anyway just to sleep with the person one time.


Some say its fine, the relationship is broken if he/she is willing to do so. I however, would not want to be the enabler. If it's truely broken, break up and then we'll go at it. I also would stay away as respect for the other person in that relationship. I don't want to take any part in harming another person intentionally, just to sleep with someone, when I can sleep with a bunch of single girls.

I also don't want my face punched in or shot off with a shotgun.

My good friend however, sees nothing wrong with this situation, and does not find the need to respect other people he does not personally know.

Thoughts? I'd like to believe much of the world isn't this narcissistic. However, I also deal with guys pursuing my girl before my very eyes. One day someone is going to get it.

If somebody is willing to cheat, they're not in much of a relationship.

There are some guys who would rather have a relationship with a married woman, because there's no drama. She's not looking to get married, if she gets pregnant, she's already got a live-in daddy for the baby, she wants to have her fun and not get caught, which goes along with what the guy wants.

Male. I would not sleep with a happy girl in a relationship, just for a one-time fling. If I was interested further, yes. If she was unhappy, yes. Not just to get off tho.

No. I respect myself and what a relationship should be instead of the current shambles they may be in. Its cruel to the other person and just makes you look like a skank to sleep with other peoples partners.

Its ok until YOU become the other person who is being cheated on..then you suddenly have some empathy for the schmuk you helped deceive when you decided to cheat with the taken person..thats one side.

The other side is you didnt make the commitment so it's not your problem...personally I would feel bad for the other guy/girl who is being cheated on

I'm female and I find it disgusting of the idea and for your good friend as a person if she is a happy person in a relationship and you "wine and dine" her to get her to bed and then drop her. If she is unhappy in the relationship, to me, it's still not good to bed someone just to put a notch on your belt.

Ethically speaking, most people would say it's definitely not OK to sleep with someone in a relationship. I would be one of those people (male).
The word co-worker jumped out at me when I read your post. Married co-worker involvement is BIG trouble, dude. If you're gonna pursue someone in a relationship, make sure it is not someone you work with.

Yep, if you wouldn't like it done to you, don't do it to someone else. I'm female.

And furthermore, if you HAVE had it done to you before and don't care about doing it to someone else, I'd say you are some sort of relationship sociopath
