Being a married man and getting involved with a fling can be exciting. There’s always the thrill of being with someone who isn’t your wife, and hoping you don’t get caught. There are also fun and interesting sexual activities you may do with your fling that your wife has never been interested in. While having a fling is great, sometimes the magic dies quicker than you may want it to. When this happens, you’ll find yourself wanting to end your fling.

You’re Thinking About Her Too Much

When you start to think about your fling too much, it may indicate that you are falling in love with her. This can be terrible for multiple reasons. If you don’t have much invested in your marriage and are fine with going through the difficult process of divorce, that’s one thing. However, most of us have no interest in getting divorced from our wives. This means that you’ll end up having to juggle feelings of love for both your wife and your fling. You may also have to worry about falling in love with you fling and her not returning that love. It can be a serious blow to your pride.

You’re Arguing Too Much

You shouldn’t be arguing with your fling at all. Flings are supposed to be fun and exciting. If you find yourself getting into huge arguments with your fling in the same manner as you would your wife, it may be time to cut her loose. Keep in mind that an argument is different from a disagreement. A disagreement simply involves the two of you not seeing eye-to-eye on a topic. An argument involves the two of you bickering, or possibly even shouting at each other. Unless you plan on leaving your wife for her, no fling is worth that much of a headache.

She’s Seeing Other Men

It may make you seem like a hypocrite, especially when you’re already married, but having a fling with someone who has more than one other person that she’s seeing is nothing but trouble. If she’s only seeing one other person in addition to you, that’s one thing. However, if she’s seeing multiple men, then you run the risk of contracting several different types of STDs without being able to track down how you got them. For every sexual partner she has, your risk of contracting an STD goes up. If that isn’t bad enough, you also risk bringing home that STD to your wife, who will automatically know that you’ve been cheating on her.

Breakups are never fun, but when your dating your fling starts to become more trouble than it’s worth, you may want to just cut your losses and move on. If the two of you know where you stand with each other, the breakup won’t be too bad. However, you should make sure you prepare yourself just in case she ends up angry and wants to try to hurt you by ruining the relationship you have with your wife.
