A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
When a man says that, it is usually a lie with a purpose. Not just the cheating itself, but wanting to keep the gf with promises. Empty promises to be precise.

My sister is still married and dating, not cheating. I say if he's given you no reason to doubt him, you shouldn't.
Marriage can be complicated to get out of. Especially when there are kids involved, it can become a legal headache. It could very well be that he is telling the truth and is "only married on paper".
My now wife was married when I met her. Ignore these lame alarmists. If being married is a deal breaker you already have your answer. If not, just try to be good judge of character and decide if you like them.
This is pretty typical cheater wording, I was fooled by it too when I was young.
If he can't get his own life in order he's not going to make the best fuck buddy either. Guys like that can be a vector for STDs, stay safe
Do you have any mutual friends that might be able to corroborate?
sounds likes he weighing his options, and look for a backup in case his other relationship doesnt land.
I could not respect someone who was going with others while married technicality or not. Spend that time dealing with the technicality.
