Are You The “Other Woman”?

 

There are two sides to every story, and sometimes there may actually be three or four.

When we involve ourselves in an affair with someone who is already committed elsewhere, i.e. has a steady girlfriend (or boyfriend), lives with someone, or is married, we are involving ourselves in an emotionally risky business.

Someone is going to be hurt.

That’s a cold hard fact.

It is the rare situation indeed where one partner is cheating and either the original partner or the outside partner does not get hurt.

I have written many blogs on the subject of Why People Cheat and the reasons are as varied as there are grains of salt in the ocean, the cold hard facts are, it happens.  Many times it happens when we least expect it.

Do people go out and think, “Gee, I’m going to go out tonight and find myself a married person to fall in love with?”  No.  Attraction, destiny, life circumstances, soul connections, physical desire, dissatisfaction, they are all ingredients in the recipe for an affair.
