Thank you all very much for the support and thoughts on this subject. I'm honestly not sure if I can resist the temptation at this time but I am at least having more of an....internal dialogue, wrestling with myself I suppose you could say.

kissing a married woman who is not your wife is wrong, anything more than kissing is bordering on adultery...adultery can get you excommunicated from the church Perhaps I don't really understand the word "adultery". Am I able to commit adultery even though I'm not married? Or would I be making her commit adultery thereby bringing those sins down upon my own head? If there is sex and one or both partners are married but not to each other then it's adultery regardless if one is single. Being a participant in a sin makes you guilty of that sin....."Hey officer...I didn't actually rob the store....my friend did, I was just driving the car", or "I didn't actually kill the guy, my friend did, I only gave him the gun, encouraged him to do it and watched as he shot him" or "Lord, I didn't actually commit adultery, she was the married one, I was single, I only did what she wanted." No...my Brother don't ask anyone here to justify this for you.....if you haven't gone that far with her then stop....if you have....go see your Bishop and talk to him....repent and you'll feel a whole lot better....have you been to the Temple and received your endowments? Yes, I am a returned missionary as well. Perhaps I've grown weak in the faith, I'm not sure. But I havn't done anything with her yet and am grateful for your replies.

I am a 25 year old member of the Church and she is not. She has been married for only a couple of months. She has told me that he is not attractive to her and she is only married to him because she knows he will never leave her. She has said she lives like this because she does not want to actually fall in love with someone and be hurt. Supposedly her husband knows all of this and I believe he does...though I'm not sure he knows that she wants to date other guys- myself included. So here are the questions in my mind right now, please answer any or all, I promise to listen to whatever you have to say- Is it wrong to date her? Would I be excommunicated for something like kissing her? What if I fall into temptation and do more than just kissing? Are platonic/friendly dates okay?
