These days, finding and dating the right man has become a serious business – one that requires paying attention to even the little details. This gets even more complicated when you have to be sure that the man you are considering is not a married man.
Moreover, even wedding bands are not enough to identify married men as they rarely even wear them.
Because marriage cannot be worn like a badge, we have put together this list of signs to be wary of when it dealing with men.
If your man exhibits two or three of these, it may be an indication that you are “the other woman.”
1. He will not allow you to know his house.
Always want you to come to a hotel to meet him. Any man that truly love you will not be reluctant to take you home, at least for you to know where he is staying because he believes that the Relationship is going to work out fine between the both of you.
A married man will not take you to his house because he doesn’t want his wife to see you and then know that he is ᴄʜᴇᴀᴛɪɴɢ on her.
2. He times your calls
If you are not able to reach him at certain times of the day or he gives you excuses like he is always busy when he gets home at night, you may have a situation on your hands.
Unlike single boyfriends with whom you can talk till late in the night or even all through the night, you will find that you are only able to speak to him in the day and once he gets home, he either says he prefers to chat or is always too tired for a conversation.
If this has been going on for too long, it may be a serious indication that he is always going back home to his family and you are just the side piece.
3. He will hide his job for you.
Anytime you ask your man about the nature of his job and he starts playing tricks, or he starts covering it up with another discussion then you should know you are dating a Married man.
He doesn’t want to reveal who he is and what he does for a living to you because he knows he doesn’t have any future with you.
4. He spends lavishly
It mostly takes a comfortable married man to be able to maintain another woman after his family and it is easier for him to use his wealth to cover up for other immaterial things he may not be able to offer you.
This is not to say that single men cannot buy you expensive stuff but a young unmarried man with a legitimate source of income will rather make future financial plans rather than buy you a luxury car.
If your man avoids your call or cannot see you at certain times, you may be forced to believe he is seeing someone else or that he does not like you. But, why will you make you feel that way when a luxurious lifestyle can make you forget your woes and sorrows.
Ask yourself why a man of his age that can afford everything he needs is not married yet and is not in a hurry to put a ring on your fingers.
5. A married man will not attend any event with you.
He will not dare to go with you any event where his family and friends will attend but he can take you to night clubs with some of his friends that live the same lifestyle with him because he doesn’t value you and he can easily tell his wife that he has been in traffic for hours which is the cause of him coming back late from work.
6. He is never a social media person
It is understandable why a married man would not want you to have his Facebook details or those of other social media accounts because they can easily blow his cover.
You will get excuses like, “I only use WhatsApp, I am too busy to use other social media” and even on WhatsApp, his read receipt is always off and you may never see him post any relative on his status.
This could be a sign that he is hiding something or that he is not who he says he is and you may be a “side chick.” In some very rare cases, he may have a social media page but would never ever comment on your posts, photo, or even flaunt you on his page for very obvious reasons.
7. He is only interested in making love to you.
When doesn’t bother about seeing your parents for the marriage rite.
Then know it that you are dating someone else husband and believe me he will not leave his wife because of you.
Yes he has been Cheating on her with you but he doesn’t love you more than his wife.
8. He never talks commitment
He avoids talks that have to do with the future or marriage plans when you are together. When you manage to get him to talk, he makes it look like you are in too much of a hurry.
He is always about “let’s see how it goes,” “may God see us through,” and “hopefully.”
However, this character is not exclusive to married men alone, some single guys also act this way but if this coincides with other signs mentioned here, you may have to be careful.
Other significant signs:
– He will always prefer to give you money in cash so his wife will not know he’s spending on you instead of spending on her and the children.
– He Calls you at the odd hours.
– He will not save your contact on his phone with any sweet romantic names.
