I am in love with a married man

I think I have landed myself in a mess but I don't know how to get out of it. I don't wish to ruin his marriage. What should I do? He is a nice person and also helps me whenever I face any problem. Both of us are happy in the relationship which we share. He keeps blaming his wife for not being there for him. Should I continue this relationship? I am worried and confused.

Dear Taarika,
You are playing with fire and be prepared to get scarred badly. Remember it is highly unlikely that he will leave his wife for you. One day he will just stop communicating with you - the day he realises that what he is doing is wrong and that he can't be cheating on his wife. It will only make you an emotional mess and you will be left grieving. The faster you move on, the better it will be for you. Also are you ready to face the repercussions when the wife finds out? Think about it too.u00a0
