how am I supposed to deal with this

Just so occasionally you meet a woman with whom you just connect. and then when the conversation develops they suddenly start talking about their husbands

How am I supposed to deal with that when they declare themselves off limits there and then....

I mean a good conversation is never wrong... but... well... bloody hell.....

...at least they're telling you instead of stringing you along.

You can still be friends with married people. Not everyone is here for funny business.

@Starcrossed Exactly. If you're having an interesting conversation with someone it doesn't necessarily mean they fancy you. Mentioning a husband/boyfriend is probably their way of saying "I'm really enjoying this talk but don't think we're going to date (etc) coz I'm spoken for".

@Starcrossed oh dont get me wrong. I appreciate the honesty and the expectation setting.
