The "Other Woman" Syndrome

So let me just put it on the table I’ve come to terms with the fact I’ve    done some low-down,crazy,stupid and immature things in my life. I   will be the first to admit that and the first to say that all thou I’m not proud, I’m also not ashamed. So with that said…………

I’ve been the other woman knowingly and unknowingly and in some cases if I found out I still continued with it. This was a pattern  that I seemed to fall into over and over. There were times that I felt I wasn’t good enough to even be the “only” one so settling for the side chic was not an issue. Being a single mother was like an invitation for men who were married or in long term relationships.  It was like holding a sign       “MEN: I’m so lonely I will entertain your BS” I played into the lies they would tell me. “I really want to be with you” “I’m not happy with her”  ”I Love you girl” and boo boo this and that.

I would melt like butter to those lies, I just wanted some kind of affection, someone to want me. I didnt think highly of myself at all and for me the thought of a man wanting me and the fact he had a woman was a ego boost. My behavior was foolish and reckless and I was completely naive. It took alot of heartaches and pain and some major soul searching to find my self respect my self love the joy being single and happy with myself.

So why tell you this?

Well I’m looking for a few bold women or someone you know that aren’t afraid to tell about the role they played as the “other woman”

I want to know your story for an upcoming project I’m working on, What did you learn from it? What made you stop? etc

Serious Inquires Only Please!
