Being the other woman. . . Why?

Why? Why on earth would you settle for being someone else's sideline? An appetizer instead of a main dish, with no chance of moving to the center plate.

Why?

As I did my research for this post, surprisingly I was shocked to see that there is a growing number of women that really don't mind dating a married man.

It's really quite scary to know that your friend may be dating a married man, knows she's dating a married man and is alright with it.

One woman commented, "He's been married to her for ten years. We have two kids together, and I'm fully aware that he has to go home to her. But for just a moment of every day, he's mine and I'm satisfied with that."

When asked if she minded that he slept with his wife and then came to sleep with her, she responded, "No because at least I know he's only been with her and not like these other men that are out in the streets jumping on who knows what."

Throughout this interview, the woman seemed calmed and content, but as I read it, I became more and more enraged that she would just accept love in her life without regards to being selfish about it.

I know that sounds crazy, but I'm a monogomous person. When I'm in a relationship with someone I work to stay monogomous to that person and I feel he should work just as much. I give without asking, I'm respectful, I try to bring some type of happiness to that person's life.

But are you trying to tell me, all that work would be for nothing because he's married and it really don't mean a thing because some other woman is making him feel just as special.

I couldn't be fine with that. I couldn't be alright with that at all. That would piss be off so bad!

Yet, she wasn't. Along with her, there are thousands of other women that gladly share their man.

I did have a friend who was dating this guy, who lived with another woman. "I don't have to give as much in a relationship when he has someone else there."

But how can you say you're in love with that person?

That's not love.

Love shouldn't be shared.

It should be your love and no one else's.

I could be speaking crazy talk, but it just doesn't make sense.

Now we turn our attention to John "Crazy & Selfish - Already married" Edwards and his mistress.

First, as a mistress, you know you are violating the laws of marriage. You know you are part of breaking one of the laws that God has wrought upon us.

Not only did you sleep with a married man but you had his child?

Which you like the idea that someone calls your love child. Oh please.

Are you kidding? Are you trying to be justified?

How can you, as a mistress, get in front of news cameras and profess that your married man boyfriend is very in love with you?

ummm, that' isn't love, sweetie.

That's called selfishness.

And the fact that you fell for it, just goes to show you are either not that smart or you are selfish yourself.

You supposed to share with your partner, not share your partner.

Maybe as I grow older, I want something I don't have to share anymore or be the one sharing or shared.

this is just my thoughts. What do you think on a whole?
