If you have children, maybe.

All I care about is not interfering with someone else's relationship. When you do that, as you can see from the story, it upsets living arrangements, economics, puts another person through a nightmare--and for what? So you can have a momentary fling?

Do the responsible thing and get out of the relationship before you go down that path.
