Does attraction mean you have to act on it? For some, a wedding ring is a clear boundary, but for others, it’s part of the thrill. Eight women share why they slept with a married man.

**1. The thrill of the affair**
“I loved the thrill of sleeping with a guy I knew was married… It was never going to be more than what it was: an affair that I will always remember.” — Jenny, 31

**2. She was deceived**
Colby, 23, unknowingly slept with a married man. “I found out the next morning… I was disgusted with him and myself.”

**3. False promises**
Vivian, 26, believed he would leave his wife. “Every month, he’d tell me he was getting a divorce… By year two, I realized he never was.”

**4. The forbidden attraction**
Jess, 26, enjoyed the chase. “It made me more attracted to this guy just knowing that I could never have him.”

**5. A mistake she regrets**
One woman admitted, “I ruined his marriage… He helped ruin it, but I played a part.”

For some, it was a game; for others, a painful lesson.
