Is an engaged woman (or man) fair game?

Put it this way -- I can talk my way in philosophical circles around this topic for hours, but at the end of the day, all I need to know is that any guy attempting to pursue my girlfriend is out of bounds. Big time. We may not be engaged, but we're still committed to one another, and we want others to respect that.

agreed, we all know such people are scum when they are chasing our girl...

Does this thread even need to exist? I mean, really.

My thoughts exactly. Same with the earlier one.

Merged. Topics far too similar. I'd read back, because I'm pretty sure this topic has been thoroughly discussed.

Years ago in my youth I took up with a girl who was spoken for. When her boyfriend came over to get his stuff I was at her house and thought for sure there would be a fight. But he calmly grabbed his stuff and on the way out the door said, "I've just got one thing to say, if she'll do it to me, she'll do it to you". And wouldn't you know it, 2 years later she did it to me.

So to any one who's considering pursuing someone that's engaged...do really want to make a commitment with some one who takes commitments so lightly? The type of person that would break someones heart like that? That's the type of person you want to be with?

That's just the lessons I've learned on the subject.

I'm suprised that this is actually a topic for conversation.

I can see some area of doubt in a relationship with a dating couple, but not for an engaged couple.

You should have enough respect for the other person and for yourself to leave it alone.
