I'm a PJ who has been hiding the fact that I'm married due to personal circumstances I can't tell anyone about.

I’m a BB7 male member. For most men, hearing that she’s married would probably come as a shock. Some men might end the relationship over it, while others wouldn’t care. Personally, I’d feel more at ease if she were upfront about it. But everyone’s different. If the man is single—which could apply even if he’s married—there may also be legal complications. In the worst case, it could turn into the hassle of having to pay compensation… It’s a tough world out there.

I’m Meg, a female member. To avoid any unnecessary travel—sorry, I meant trouble—later on, I make it clear from the very beginning that I’m: - Married - A mother It would probably make things easier for your future relationship if you told them even now.

If you come clean now, there’s a possibility the relationship could end. The reason is quite simple: if he knowingly gets involved with a married woman, he could potentially be sued for adultery by her husband. Some men don’t want to take that kind of risk, so there may well be men who would have chosen not to pursue the relationship if they’d known from the start. > I’m worried that if he knew the real reason, we might be able to find a way to meet discreetly. If he’s willing to continue seeing you even after learning that you’re married, he may be willing to work something out. But first, you need to determine whether he’s that kind of man. That said, figuring that out can be difficult, so I think it might be better to come up with a different explanation. For example: “I’ve actually been keeping this a secret, but I’m living with my boyfriend. Since my job switched to remote work because of COVID, I no longer have an excuse to go out at night. I’m having trouble figuring out what to say, but I’d really like to see you. Do you have any ideas?” That might be worth asking.

I’m Papercraft, a male member. > Would he be surprised if I told him now that I’m married…? That shouldn’t be a problem. However, I would want to know whether you have children, since I’d like to know whether you’ve given birth before. > I no longer have an excuse to go out at night. I’ve been declining dates for a while now for various reasons. Even if we can’t meet, that’s not a problem. Depending on the person’s job—especially if they work in sales—they may need to refrain from meeting in case they could pass something on, or they may simply be unable to leave the house. > I’m worried that if he knew the real reason, we might be able to find a way to meet discreetly. If he knows the reason, he’ll be more likely to understand your actions during this period. Whether you meet or not, I think being able to understand and support each other will strengthen your connection.
