I have come face to face with this type of uncomfortable situation. Dealing with the "other woman" is never an easy task, but someone has to do it.
In my past relationship, infidelities played a major role. Whether it be a drunken night, an ex girl friend, or an old high school fling, I was always left to play investigator. Many a night I would sit and think to myself.. "Is this stress worth it?"
I've come to learn now that the stress is never worth it. As women, we want to attack the other female. As though there is some type of unwritten code which she's broken. Hardly ever do we retaliate toward the individual, who amongst all, is the person who owes you explanations as well as honesty.
This reality played in my mind, and I got to thinking. Is the other woman my enemy after all? Did she save me? Should I be thanking her instead of slashing her tires.. and writing her threatening emails? The answer came to me as clear as day.
Men will go as far as you allow them. I am, in no way, stating that I deserved each discretion on his behalf. I am stating that maybe this "other woman" did me a favor. If she believes she has what it takes to change him, god bless her. In reality, we all know how her story will end.
Much like mine.
She will be fighting the same battle, inevitably losing the war.
