"Engaged" to a Married Man?

arabic_nightingale
By arabic_nightingale

There's this girl I know who has been in a relationship with a married man for a long time now. Then one day, man 'proposes' and girl proudly announces to everybody, "Hey, guess what - I'm engaged!" A friend said, "Erm, excuse me, but... I thought your guy is already married?" Girl said, "Well... he's going to apply for his annulment soon."

How could a girl have the nerve to announce to the world that she is 'Engaged to a married man? Don't you think that's called stupidity?

Btw these couple are self-confessed catholics'. :

expect all kinds of comments from everyone here. I made my deductions about the whole idea that the couple are fellow compatriots and though you may deny it, people could tell.

Let's dissect your topic.

1. You know a girl (she's not your friend anymore?---assuming you were before)who have a relationship with a married guy.

--->SO? What's you're beef about it? It would be N.O.Y.B.---right?

2. You said (and we quote you)"How could a girl have the nerve to announce to the world that she is 'Engaged' to a married man? Don't you think that's called stupidity?

---> Since she's not a FRIEND, you find it the whole IDEA as "STUPID". YUP...i couldn't agree with you more on that.

3. You said "Btw these couple are self-confessed catholics'"

--> well, that ONE-LINER do gave you away: YOU despise the said couple for everything they are, the relationship, plans of getting married and all that crap about them.

You said she "bragged" ABOUT IT to friends and posting a photo of her finger with the 'engagement' ring on her social networking page.

My question is: why are you so concerned and perplexed? Does it really affects you that much? I'm just wondering...

cant come to conclusions without knowing how is the married life of the man and if him and his wife have agreed that they would go for separation..

if the man is in a relationship for long outside his marriage, his wife should be knowing about this too..

anyways, its better not to jump the gun..

in the future does not make it right. Wait 'til the annulment is done and so they will have their "own" time (until the man finds another much younger and beautiful and a more stupid girl in the future!

And for those who said this is not a worthy thread, think again, this is QL, this what makes this an exciting forum. Brainstorming and HEALTHY exchange of ideas might bring good results (at least to others who are responsive).

But don't abuse this forum as Drovers Dog did in his comment! Let's make it civil!

Soniya... no, none of them you mentioned have talked about the issue of whether the man is having a happy married life or not... they just cursed the two persons in question.. now hope that you are not presuming that I am supporting the man and the girl for whatever they are upto... I just dont interfere into anyones personal life and dont assume things and wouldnt ever curse anyone. Anyways as Vegas has said, this thread is a waste of time...so I am out of here. Cheers.

Firstly, I would like to apologize for mentioning anything about 'faith' in this thread.

Secondly, I think some of those who posted comments here are a little confused.

The topic is meant to be just about her ANNOUNCING TO THE WORLD that SHE'S ENGAGED TO A MARRIED MAN. By announcing I mean, posting a photo of her finger with the 'engagement' ring on her social networking page.

I don't care about the fact that she's having a supposedly 'forbidden' relationship with the guy. I just couldn't see the logic in even BRAGGING about it.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chatper 4 Surah Nisaa verse 3:

3 If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans marry women of your choice two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them) then only one or (a captive) that your right hands possess. That will be more suitable to prevent you from doing injustice.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 2128 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

The Prophet (saws) said: ‘When a man has two wives and he is inclined to one of them, he will come on the Day of resurrection with a side hanging down.’

Janser28 - the man doesn't think he's stupid. In fact, he thinks he's smart - and guys would secretly agree, cos he can have the best of both worlds - excitement, out of his usual routine and commitments to his wife and family and since he has a girl willing to have an affair with him - so it's win-win for him.

The girl may be stupid because she thinks that he will actually divorce his wife and marry her. She must have been expressing her dissatisfaction at not being made an honest woman after this "relationship with a married man for a long time now" and he's probably upped the ante to keep her. Doesn't really have to act on his words. Words are just words and meaningless without any actions.

But then again, never know. Maybe she's smart and is offering him a better option that the possible hell he's living with his current wife. If he does do that, she will have to keep looking over her shoulder anyway though - cos if he can do it once, he will most probably do it again - later when a newer, more exciting model comes along. It basically shows a fundamental weakness in his shallow and selfish character as he does not honour his commitments.

If he's rich - good on her. If he's only pretending to be rich, then that will be another definition of slavery. Some people are extremely good at acting. She won't find out till it's too late. That will be another major drama...

Its sad how one woman can be happy stealing the happiness of another woman's marriage. There are so many single men out there, did she really have to pursue this man only?? How can anyone be happy after participating in another's persons pain and that too a woman hurting another woman. How in human!!! If he was already divorced its a different issue, he is considered single now. But he is still married!!!

As for being self confessed Catholics, what has that got to do with anything? They can say they are God for all they care. The bible says, many are called but few are chose. Did you know that?

We have laws enforced for a reason. Even religion is man made. Man chooses to follow god and gives his practice a name. Many of you can agree to disagree to that. Marriage is just something used to symbolize unity between man and woman. To announce to the world that they are together to start a family...so in the eyes of religion and society.

If a man or woman is NOT happy with the way things are in that marriage i believe they should be freed from such a bondage.

Absurd intent of this thread, why? see how at the end of it their faith is mentioned! I disagree n disapprove it, IMHO.

There are two laws of world governing, One the inheritent one, call the human instinct wherein male & female behave utterly natural, they may like/dislike whatever. Second, laws of land, manmade, in forms of rules/regulations/faiths/social norms n so on......

By virtue of first law male n female attracts each other and by second laws, they keep themselves away if things are not matching..

...this struggle will continue....

(bytheway if a female and male likes each other, let them be happily togather)

LOL its funny how some people's small minds work. A whore is someone that will give you sexual pleasure for a price. Don't be too quick to judge others, its not your place.

Believe in everyone being free to live their life the way they seem fit. We like to waste our time judging and condemning those that live a life different from ours. What business is it of anyone? You will not be paying for others sins. Relax :)

Well I feel that people make mistakes or sometimes marriages just dont work out, that doesnt mean you need to remain married to someone and be miserable for the rest of your life. If these two think they are more suited together to bring happiness in each other's lives then they should go ahead with it, of course after the annulment. I dont see any harm in announcing it coz the girl is quiet confident about her man, plus i'm sure not EVERYONE knows she's having an affair with a married man coz then she'd be behind bars. So i'm guessing this is a matter of just a few people knowing. Dont make a big issue about it.

but since it was not mentioned in the post, I would rather not presume. However you see it, it's still illegal until such time as the annulment is granted.

I cannot say whether the married man and the girl are right or wrong for their relationship as I have no idea of their personal life situations like relationship of that man with his wife etc....but she surely is STUPID to announce her engagement before her man divorces his wife.
