I am a single lady with two children. How do I tell a maried man that I am not interested in forming a relationship with him. I know a relationship like this will not get me anywhere because I know that it is not true love that they want from me. It is just lust, to put it blankly.

Simply tell him, "Thanks for giving me so much attention, but I have to decline. You're married, and I'm not interested in that kind of relationship."

Of course, he's likely to try to convince you by swearing that he's separated, or going to be, or his wife is ill or a complete nightmare.

I admire you VERY much for not getting involved with a married man. It will only lead to heartache for all involved. Either he will stay with his wife and hurt you, or he may leave his wife for you, only to cheat on you down the road.

Good luck, and be brave! You'll find a decent single man who will care for you AND lust after you. ;)
