Hello,

One way I am tempted on a regular basis is that I get attracted to married women. On a conscious level I have no desire for this to happen, but it seems like very often when I am in a mixed group of men and women there will be some kind of attraction that develops between me and one of the married women. I do my best to not talk to the person or make eye contact, but it seems to happen on the soul level. Again, I do not purposely try to make this happen, but it happens. I would like to take responsibility for it. Perhaps the woman is not 100% committed to her marriage. Perhaps, as a single man, I unintentionally try to attract the attention of women. To be honest, things have gotten better with this issue as I have sought to attack it through prayer. I would just ask for your prayer on this.

Thanks,

Dan
 
You are not alone. May the Good Lord and his Blessed Mother help you - and the rest of us - who are tempted. Surely our guardian angels will watch out for us and provide timely assistance. 👍
 
In a group where my husband is present or known to the other men in the room. I tend to be much more willing to carry on a conversation with men. The reason I feel “safe” to do that is because they know I’m married. I always thought that ment they would realize that while I might enjoy a conversation, we women do love to talk, they would understand that I was in no way flirting with them. I enjoy laughing, and even a little teasing. Grew up with 6 brothers, and enjoy exchanges with guys. ** So Dan don’t assume a married women has any interest in you other than a fun chat!** Women are much more interested in how a person thinks, who they are, and what their views are, than in a sexual trist.

Perhaps you are just attracted to certain women? You probably think they are attracted to you when possibly they are not. I suspect that you will continue to experience this even after being married. Is it possible that you just have a wondering eye, and active imagination?

That’s certainly possible. I have wondered if part of this is over-reaction on my part (I get a little obsessed with purity, even when it just comes to my thoughts). Thanks for the feedback.
