What is it like to be the *Other Woman*?

I’m curious about this choice. I don’t understand it… and that bothers me.

I have so many questions.

What is the draw to married men?

What does it feel like to be another choice?

Why do you do it?

What do you get out of it?

Why is this an option?

Why did you continue?

Why did you stop?

Does it hurt?

Does it feel good?

What do you want to happen?

Do you like how it began?

Is it out in the open on your side?

What about kids involved? (yours or his)

What is the end goal?

Do you prefer it this way?

Do you want to be the main love interest?

I have never been another woman. I have been the wife of the cheater though and it boggles my mind that I can’t grasp the thoughts behind the other woman mentality. I have had friends that have been the mistress as well and I struggle with knowing how to support them.

I don’t support the affair, but I also don’t want to automatically condemn them to #unfriended because of this choice. I’d like to get it.

I know there are many out there that did not know they were the mistress. They were truly tricked about their partner’s single status. Those aren’t the one’s I’m wondering about. I want to hear from the ones that were informed and did it anyway.

What are the kinds of things you think to yourself about it?

It may be asking too much of myself. I may not ever get. But would someone please let me know why you do it.
