Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now?

A friend of mine has now reached the ultimate pinnacle of low blows as far as relationships are concerned- she is having an affair with a married co-worker, and says she's in love with him.

To me, this is the worst kind of selfish behavior. I know they are two consenting adults, and his marriage is on very shakey ground, but still. In regards to him, he says and acts like he's a stand-up guy in all other respects, but isn't the stand-up thing to do is to let your feelings be known to your spouse BEFORE you start a relationship with someone else?

And in regards to her, since when is it okay to poach other girl's guys - especially married ones? Don't girls like us despise the girls that do that? Is it ever okay to become one of those girls who has no respect for boundaries, and approaches relationships with the Machiavellian outlook of 'he's what I want for right now' and other people and their pre-existing lives be damned?

WTF is she thinking?!?
