Being the other woman by free online agony auntie, womens forum, problem page letters. Just about every woman on the planet has been approached by a man who is spoken for and married in the hope of her having a fling or a relationship with him. In my view such men are very selfish because they have a lot of fun at the woman's expense. Many of them will admit to at least being tempted by the idea and many of those who have had a fling or a relationship with a spoken for guy have regretted it. Very often they get caught up in the idea of this guy being madly in love with them or paying them a lot of attention, or they fancy the sex, or he takes them out and treatse them well with presents OR the do not have any self esteem and do not think about the consequences later.
A tiny percentage of women can actually enjoy having a fling with a married guy and walk away from it unscathed. These are the ruthless ones who go with famous men and then sell their stories to the newspaper or go with with rich and generous guys and know the married guys have to be more generous than the single guys. Then there are the women who sleep with the married guy whilst all the while planning to blackmail him or seeing other guys behind his back. He can hardly complain when he has a wife at home.
The mistress who suffers and regrets getting together with their married guy is the one who believe in love, who are faithful and want the man to be all theirs and faithful to them too. They long to be his wife and not just a secret meet. They live from meet to meet and long to hear his voice on the phone inbetween meets. They cannot phone him or go to his home. The guy might genuinely love them but even so he is still short changing them and taking a lot more than he is giving. A woman who thinks with her head instead of her body or heart is far less likely to get into these situations. Some women get into these situations and then write about their problem to a forum agony aunt but often the harm has been done by then as they are madly in love with the guy and he has already hurt them a lot.
Years ago I had a client phone me for advice about her extra marital affair. It was a public holiday and she was sobbing, sitting there with a lot of tablets and alcohol and threatening to take them. It turned out that not only had she fallen for a married guy but this guy had chosen to go off fishing with his friends when he could have been with her for the weekend. Such a woman would only lurch from one heartache and disappointment to the next if she dates a married guy and she was not strong enough to cope with it. A strong woman would not have got into such a situation in the first place! If you are single and believe in love and commitment and a married guy asks you to go out with him then surely it is better to say no at the start? It is much harder to end it after you have got to know him and this is what he is banking on.
