Would you steal someone's partner?

[ENTP_EMO]

Yeah

No..

[rjroy3]

It would have to be very specific circumstances. I've only heard one story where the guy sort of stole another guys girl that was understandable.

It was a situation where she had a college boyfriend for years who she was engaged to without actually being engaged. No ring, no date set and there was just a lofty "after I graduate law school" idea down the road. New guy comes in the picture. Is enamored with the girl, but respects the fact she's with someone and does nothing.

He goes on about his life not seeing or talking to her for an entire 365. Happens to see her again through a mutual friend who was planning a visit, when he finds out her situation hadn't changed. No ring. No real engagement. He thinks this girl is just amazing and decides to pursue her respectfully.

Basically just invited her out on dates 1 on 1. He flirted but never made a move on her. After several dates she brought up asking about his intentions. That's when he told her he's wildly attracted to her and wants to get to know her, but she has a boyfriend so that's a problem. Then reaffirmed he just wanted to get to know her.

Obviously in time she formed feelings for him. They end up making out. She feels guilty and breaks things off with him before they were even dating. She tells him she has to figure things out as far as her relationship is concerned. He tells her he loves everything about her except her taste in men and follows with if you change your mind I'll be around.

He doesn't hear from her for weeks. Ends up getting a text from her when he's in town for the wedding of a mutual friend. They see eachother and go out where she tells him she ended things with the boyfriend. Blah blah blah, they date seriously for 1 year when they got married and had kids. Still happily married till this day.

Quite a story lol and you could oversimplify it to demonize either party. But no one was really wrong. How many relationships do you know where the only reason they are still together is because they've been together so long? The type of relationship the guy just calls his girlfriend His fiance even tho he never proposed and has no plans of doing so.

To me, if someone else comes along. Truly loves her. She falls in love with him AND there's no ring? While I wouldn't say I support it. I can understand and wouldn't demonize either party.

[rjroy3]

So TLDR;

Generally speaking No.
Special circumstances when there is reciprocal love then possibly

[howlyz]

You can't steal anyone's partner, some people believe so but it's not true, if your partner goes away with someone else it means you never "had them"

[Porcelaine]

I mean if he left his partner for me just like that, or even worse - cheated. how could I ever take him seriously?

[davidnoxier]

Exactly

[Pinay_ako]

nah... you can't steal someone. it's their choice to cheat with you...

[angelin]

Yes you can steal someone and you’re right it is their choice to cheat with you. It takes two!

[Aiko_E_Lara]

That would mean you'd be dating a cheater then.

[Pinay_ako]

@angelin the cheater cannot be stolen without his consent. Therefore the cheater made that choice of being tempted by the 3rd party to be unfaithful to their so.

[coachTanthony]

Ha Ha Ha there is no such thing... she obviously deserves Aquaman!

[Moochii]

Nope. I’ve been accused way too many times of “stealing” someone else’s partner. I’ve been accused of it simply because they were interested in me and not in them. So no, they weren’t yours to begin with you fucking twat. Or because I’m just an outgoing person that talks to everybody and you’re just super insecure.. like no I don’t want your partner. No I don’t need to nor want to. If someone in a relationship is interested in me, and I’m just out here scratching my ass.. you can’t be mad at me for that. Your partner made that choice, not me. Get mad at him/her.

[anon1903]

Some relationships are only for name sake. This is an open end question. What if their partners are controlling, abusive bastards? What if the person and you hit it off and he or she wants to escape? How'd you feel if your current partner was a psycho (and you're struck with him) and the only one you trusted did not help saying its none of THEIR concern?

Now you ask, how's that cheating? Well narcissistic partners view even commenting on your pic as "stealing of partners" and"disloyalty" like they own them or something.

If you're partner really loves you, he or she will refuse the advances of the homewrecker. It a person, not a property that can be "owned" or "stolen"

[Ripper_E]

No. If she wants to leave him, that's not my problem, but I would never intentionally try to take someone else's girl. In fact, if she is so attracted to me that she is willing to leave him, I will reject her anyway, because that isn't someone I'd want to be with. She'll be left by herself and I'd tell the guy he can do better than that piece of shit.

[slatyb]

This is not a thing. I might encourage someone who was unhappy to leave a. relationship depending on the circumstance. I would have no qualms about dating someone living independently who has been dating someone else, even if they had been dating a long time.

[emmily2396]

You can't steal someone... anyway, the only situation i would go for someone in a relationship is if i knew them before and we couldn't be together due to something happening (one of us being sick, in a coma, being kidnapped and so on) and they didn't love the person as much as they love me or their relationship wasn't working and they were going to break up anyway. I wouldn't go for someone taken in any other case because they could leave me for someone else too.

[capncool]

I wouldn't go out of my way to intentionally steal a girl from her boyfriend, but if she decides to cheat on him (and preferably doesn't tell me about him) and sleeps with me then it's not my problem. However, if that happened as soon as I found out she's already spoken for I probably wouldn't stick around too long.

[MackToday]

No, I was head over heels for a girl that turned out to have a boyfriend. I put my two cents in if she was available some time in the future. First thing she tried was messing around with me behind his back. I wouldn't have anything to do with that. He got suspicious and dumped her, I wouldn't get with her after what she did so she ended up alone.

[WiNKYWEiRDY]

So I know this couple who are cute and I ship them but the guy recently started looking at me and it was strange I don't know his girlfriend realised and is over protective of him just in case they’d break up or something I guess she feared he’d say hi to me and ruin her hopes of being together.

I don’t want them to break up and it’s wrong no couple should forced to break up they’re perfect together aww man I suck 😫😂😐

[bamesjond0069]

I could but i wouldn't. Simply by stealing them means their morals allow for such a thing and they would then be ineligible to be my girl. I dont date girls that cheat or jump from relationship to relationship. Those are the girls that will one day stab you in the back.

[Tilin29]

I mean for the ones who have said yes, it's a double edged sword. On one side you're a player and you're better than the other person but on the other hand if they cheated or broke up with someone for you, don't think they won't do it again.

[Anonymous]

Well if it’s Jason and I have a chance... mmm... perhaps! 😂🤣😂

But if it’s a regular guy, I wouldn’t! There is millions out there!

[MysteriousDarkness]

To steal someone is kidnapping. Not cool. Why go after someone who is taken. Even person A is toxic for person B do not try to go after person B. Even if person A is an abuser for example. The reason is that they will not be ready to date for a while. On top of that there are people out there that are single.

[estoydorado1]

Lmao so.. Would I put myself squarely in the middle of their nasty breakup and commit myself to an unfaithful/unreliable flake? Nah, it's not that deep lol.

[CheerfulButterfly]

Nope. Karma is a bitch. If a guy let's himself be influenced by a girl seducing him then he's not worth the time of day. Girls who feel the need to go after taken men are really desperate, insecure and needs validation.

[ChiPaPa]

Ultimately, there is no such thing. The whole concept seems to deny that their partner lacks free will. I do, however think that people should just leave taken people alone in that area. There are enough singles out there. Give them a chance.

[angelin]

I would not even look twice at a taken man as I wouldn’t want that to happen to me. Home wreckers are the worst people man or woman.

[NEW_YUKI]

nope

[Pamina]

How does someone "steal" a partner? It takes two, so the partner would actually agree to it. There is no stealing.

[desidoll]

I have at least two guys here who wish I'd leave my boyfriend for them. Not gonna mention their names though.

[MysteriousDarkness]

They go for people who are already taken because if they can not be with someone then neither should anyone else be with that person. It is pathetic really.
