Yeah, I might put some thought into weather or not you want to get involved with something like this, it can get a little ugly and the consequences are worth thinking about. But in the end if you feel good about it I guess I'd just say roll with it, either she leaves him for you, the whole thing just falls apart or you walk away from it.

I'll give you an example. When I was in college I hit it off with a girl who worked behind the counter of the gas station I'd applied to that for summer work. She was just really awesome in so many ways, doldrums of a small town summer had taken hold and a hot pot smoking beer drinking buddy was just the thing I needed...of course she was also married. We didn't do much that summer except for meet up after work for a drink (or 10) or smoke a joint in my backyard, the problem was we talked a lot during those times and really got close. That fall we broke into a summer camp, got high on the wharf and well...you can only imagine what happened next. The thing was is we never really developed a relationship, she went home to her husband afterwards and I went home, just crazy winter afternoon, post work, boot knocking...and in all honesty it was great! We pulled it off for the remainder of that winter and just started drifting apart come spring, I'd met a girl at school I really liked, her husband knocked her up and it just ended. I don't think he ever found out and as far as know (talking to mutual friends, it turned out we knew a lot of the same people in high school) they are still together and doing great...so what does that mean? I really don't know. Is something wrong just because its wrong? Is it just a natural side effect of human nature? Why can't I put into words what I really want to say?

Yet now that I think about it I could give you probably 50 examples from my own life or from stories my friends have told of things ending really, REALLY badly, like pictures at 11 badly. So I don't know, take the above for what its worth I guess.

Anyway in the end it just is what it is. You either roll with it and hope the drama train doesn't come chugging down the tracks in the form of an angry husband wielding a shot gun, let it fizzle on its own or end it and move on, what else can you really do?
