Married Man Rules
2 min readMay 17, 2025
- Don’t ever expect to see him, even if he says he is coming over. Something usually comes up.
- If you do see him, don’t expect to spend very much time with him. He’s fitting you in. You do not have a regular spot in his schedule. Time he spends with you is stolen time.
- Don’t ever ask questions about his personal life. If you figure stuff out, it’s OK to tell him you figured stuff out, in a very un-intrusive way. But never ask questions.
- Don’t ever contact him on social media.
- Don’t ever contact him at work.
- Don’t ever call or text his cell phone unless he calls or texts first. (Email is OK.)
- Try to keep your emails to three paragraphs or less. He doesn’t have the time nor the inclination to read a book.
- Don’t ever expect any declaration of his feelings for you. He can’t get your hopes up because he can’t leave his family.
- Don’t be delusional and think you’re in love with him. If you feel that way, you’re probably just trying to work out your Daddy Issues. Get back into therapy. That’s the place to work out your Daddy Issues.
- If you are in love with him, keep yourself in check. It’s probably never going to come to anything in real life. You can have your feels, but keep your behavior under control.
