Have You Ever Been the Other Woman/Man?

Contributor: Waterfall Waterfall
I have been the other women/girl(when I was younger) on multiple occasions. Not proud of this or anything though. Its not always fun.

Not knowingly - I always respect relationships. If she wanted me, she need to break it off with the other guy first. Likewise I have never cheated on a partner - I'd always break it off first.

It wouldn't work for me.

Call me selfish (and Im sure someone will ) but I can't split the attention... sharing isn't my for-tay.

Lol, as a sex worker, you're kinda always the other woman! Even the kindest men need something different once in a while..

Nope, and I hope not to be. No reason for me to be, either, I'm happy with my guy, and last i checked he had eyes only for me. (He'd better... )

I was kinda with a guy and he was pretending to be with another girl as a joke on his friend. So every time we would hang out I would be like you can't kiss me u have a girlfriend. lol then we joked about how im like the mistress.

There is nothing wrong with finding someone who fills all the voids or only leaves small areas for you to finish! It's a wonderful thing just like finding someone who can share with you the joy of other people. What makes you happy is always the best thing you can do, so long as you aren't hurting anyone.

Once had an emotional affair with a man whose girlfriend was pregnant with their second child, about 3 years ago.

We've just started talking again.

I could never do that. I would feel too guilty.

I have been. Though not voluntarily. The guy wanted to fool around and I told him I wouldn't because of his girlfriend. He said they had broken up a week before... they had not. I didn't have anything to do with him after that.

I was the other woman with Hubby but I didn't know it until after the fact. Apparently he was with her before me and kept her around for sex cuz he knew I wasn't gonna give it up no time soon. He ditched her pretty quickly though after he realized I was gonna be long term with or without sex.

I think you made the right decision. Somewhere out there is someone just for you and you alone.

Not that I have ever known about. I wouldn't want to do that to somebody so I avoided that situation.

Not since high school. Back then I didn't really care about such things. There were a couple of times when I hooked up that I knew the guy had a girlfriend. I've never done so as an adult, nor do I plan to.

I have been the other woman before. A couple of times.

It was just basically sex. Their wives knew about me,knew about our relationship. I was a student at the time, and didn't have time to foster relationships, I just wanted sex with a man, who I knew could be trusted to keep his mouth shut, who wasn't sleeping with the rest of the women in my classes or doing the university experimentation thing.

Their wives were ok with it, as they knew what I wanted, and knew I did not want a relationship with their husbands or to break up their families. Some of the wives were having problematic pregnancies, doctors forbidding them to have sex, lack of interest in sex after childbirth as well.

We had rules laid out, and they were not to be crossed.

I have "sort of" been the other woman- but it was VERY brief. I knew he was going to break up with her, we both knew we had feelings for each other, and we had some interesting circumstances- I was going to Florida the next day and he was supposed to be going to boot camp for the Marines shortly after I came home. We hooked up the night before I went to Florida and we were both aware of what we were doing. He broke up with her the next day. I didn't feel all that bad because they weren't together for very long, and it wasn't very serious at all. Plus, we're still together after almost 4 years

I have been the "other woman". With the same person, for a long time off and on. It's been both emotional and physical. I wouldn't exactly recommend it.

I never have, but I have had many married men try to have an affair with me and I have not consented...

One also claimed that he felt that he was emotionally cheating on his wife with me; it confused me because this I was trying to get this guy friend of mine to get back with his wife.

I have been "the other woman" before. It never ended well for me, and there isn't enough money in the world to make me do it again. I think you made the right decision!

No, I haven't been asked this. I wouldn't do it if I was and you're right to say that you deserve the respect of being his one and only.

When my husband and I first started seeing each other, we were both with other people. He was dating this girl and I was married. We stopped seeing each other after a while and then started again when he was in a different relationship, and I was still married. We couldn't stay away from each other. Something always brought us back together. I've also been on the brunt of being the one being cheated on too, so I know how that feels too. I'm sorry I did that to my ex, but I found the love of my life. I can't help it just happened at the wrong time.

Ditto - almost. She was engaged and I was close to it. After meeting we agreed to settle those relationships and reconnect after we were disencumbered. It was the right thing for our former relationship partners and for us.

Integrity is a good thing!

I've been the other woman, but never in any sort of long-term situation. Only ever for like "one time" things.

Good for you for sticking to your guns. I have never ben in this position and don't envy the tough decision you had to make. I can't imagine being the other woman (or man) would be fulfilling because no one wants to be the secret. You deserve someone who is proud to show you off and wants to be with only you (unless you both agree to a poly lifestyle).
