Rules of engagement can be defined as the specific set of guidelines that govern circumstances while engaged in combat. These rules do not necessarily dictate how a result is to be achieved, but indicate what measures are considered unacceptable in said combat. Dating is not typically synonymous with warfare, but if you find yourself dating a married man, you’ve certainly got a battle on your hands! So, what do you do when you become the highly stigmatized “other woman”? In a world filled with judgment and finger-pointing, How To Date A Married Man: 10 Rules of Engagement offers advice and suggestions you’re unlikely to find within your personal circle of friends and family. Though scarcely longer than a magazine, relationship expert Dr. Andre Jerry uses this singular guide to help women see exactly what they’re up against when entering into this most forbidden of relationships. Not discounting the cheated-on wife, the information in this book also provides useful insights to help clue women in on their husband’s errant behavior.
Even if you’re not currently engaging in an extra-marital affair, you probably know somebody who is or has. How To Date A Married Man offers sound advice applicable in these shunned relationships and in many other situations. One eye-opening suggestion to keep in mind is, “Don’t allow yourself to be put in a position where you’re constantly disappointed because your fairy-tale didn’t come true.” This might be perfect advice for all the overly high expectations we tend to set for ourselves. Along those same lines is the point about learning to temper our expectations with reality, which will help audiences from being blindsided by unnecessary heartbreak. Without sugar-coating these affairs, Dr. Jerry outlines practical and profitable steps women can take to come out of these relationships with more than they began. Although the author is not advocating or glorifying duplicity in marriage, these 10 easy-to-grasp rules demonstrate some stark truths and common-sense approaches to dealing with the prevalent issue of marital infidelity.
