I know for sure that she would NOT understand all the drama that would come into play by dating a married man whose wife just left him and who is not emotinoally steady yet. If she was telling me "oh mom, he's nice...its just casual, no big deal" I would know she was in for a huge let down and drama ride.
I would steer her toward a nice UNmarried man who isn't in the midst of drama.
On the other hand, if I knew AFWAW in person, I would be doing EVERYTHING I can to set him up with as many appropriate women as possible! I would be encouraging him (and I have done so on this thread) to kick his wife to the curb and not look backwards. I would be helping him find his new life and move forward.
But the 27 YO just simply doesn't *know* what she would be in for. How could she unless she has already dated a MARRIED man who's wife just left him???
I have read literally 1000's of posts on many message boards, and rebound relationships are only good for the rebounder. The "new" person almost always gets screwed over.
I guarantee you that the 27 YO does NOT think she is headed toward a rebound with AFWAW. She thinks they will fall in love and live happily ever after, with no clue that even if that DID happen, it is going to be years before AFWAWs drama has died down and it is going to make a new relationship with him very difficult.
On the other hand, there are many MANY women who would love to simply date him, not fall in love, even be f-buddies, and who will know better than to expect a future with him.
The 27 YO will not be able to keep this a casual relationship, and she will become a casualty of AFWAW's wife bull crap.
