"THE LIFE OF THE OTHER WOMAN" PARTII

Many people think that subjects like infidelity shouldn't be discussed in a christian forum. Infidelity has been a problem that has plagued relationships and were mentioned even in the bible.
The life of the "other woman" is complex because, she is either the other woman by choice or like the "main" woman she has no idea she isn't the only one.
My question to women who emailed me and said that they had no problem being the other woman was, why? What would make you be with a man that you know is involved with someone else? 3 out of the 5 women who responded said that they believed the man would eventually leave the woman he was currently with. They stated that the hardest part of the relationship was on special occasions when the man was with his family. The thing I found most remarkable was their loyalty to the relationship. All of these women said they were exclusively dating these men and that the men wouldn't tolerate them being with someone else. Some of these relationships even went as far as creating children. Which brings a whole other dynamic to the situation. This has become  the norm in relationships across the world. Women are settling for a part time relationship with a man that they love. Just for the sake of not being alone. Other women say they don't mind the man being in  relationship because they don't want him exclusively and they are seeing other people as well. They meet up for casual encounters and don't mind if several days, weeks, or months go by without hearing from the man. They cover for the man and basically could care less about the man having a woman or family at home.
Then there's the woman who thinks that she in a relationship with a man just to find out he is in a relationship with another woman. This woman's life falls apart just like the "main woman" but, sadly, these women more often than not fight with each other to see who will win the man. What do you think can be done to stop the madness. Women, we should care more about one another than to allow ourselves to accept this type of behavior. We have to raise our standards. Okay, ladies I need your input; how do you feel about the life of the other woman? What do you think women should do when they find themselves in situations like this? Why would a woman choose to be with a man knowing he has someone else. Join in, someone reading this is in this situation and maybe a word from one of you will help her make a decision to change her life. After all, that's what this blog is about, uplifting one another.
