How common is adultery?

Anonymous

I chatted up a young woman that works at a local gym. She’s teaches cardio kickboxing and I sometimes teach private jiu jitsu lessons.

There was a friendly pretext when talked but also a few hints of interest. I didn’t know if she was taken of not. I didn’t message her right away because I am still trying to figure out a good location for training people. I did have legit interest in teaching her jiu jitsu but I might be down to maybe going on a date if I got a good vibe from her.

Anyway I ran into her again this evening. She mentioned having plans with her “husband’s family” when I asked her about Thanksgiving plans.

I now know now she’s off limits. But we chatted quite a bit earlier and she never mentioned being married. No wedding ring on her hand either.

I guess I could give her the benefit of the doubt and just assume she saw my approach as 100% friendly. But still handing her number out to a guy she met at the gym while not (not even casually) mentioning her martial status was extremely naive at best.

Anyway I’ve never been a cheater nor do I look to make other people cheat. But why is it that some women open the door to this drama? At times it seems that taken women are worse about it then the single ones.

Just a FYI I am no saint. Far from it. But adultery is always something I drew the line on.
