Reflections: Being the other woman

by M. J. Green

Created on: January 16, 2009   Last Updated: June 19, 2009

I've been in two relationship's where I was "the other woman". I'm currently 23 yrs old. The first "relationship" was when the was 19 & the guy was 33. he had told me was divorced. ha. we mostly just hung out at his house and played xbox watched tv and had sex. at some point his "ex wife" started showing up at my job threatening me. i eventually just ended things wit him. he had lied and i wasn't going to deal wit the drama. plus, i was actually cheating on my bf who at the time had just gone to prison..

The second relationship, i am currently still involved in. he has been wit his GF for 10 yrs & is 25, and he has done this to her before ... It began roughly 7 months ago. I knew what I was getting involved wit & the risk/consequences 4 the future. She actually found out about me in thebeginning but he told her he was talkin to me for one of his other friends. I really don't feel guilty. I mean. shes not giving him what he needs so, thats not my problem. he was completely honest wit me about everything & still has been. So I respect him for that. I choose to ignore what he may or may not do wit his GF. its just emotionally easier on me if i don't think about that. not only that, i expect him to continue wit his relationship wit her as if i don't exist. i just..accept it. . hes told me b4 that he thinks the main reason he likes me so much is cuz i remind him of her, plus all the things he wants her to be but she cant be. when he said that it makes me wonder if she just accepts that he's having an affair & chooses not to think bout me. like i choose not to think about her.

We text ALL day. he does it right in front of her sometimes. or while he's at work. and it really means a lot. he invests a lot of himself & time in me. he risks his stable life for me, and that.. makes me feel great. that sounds sick, huh? he calls me in the mornings to wake me up. we talk on the phone while she's at school. we talk actually a lot considering he has a GF wit whom he lives wit. he used to not work so i would come to his house during the day and we would have sex everywhere. in their bed. the couch. the office chair. i even went to his house one night when she was sleeping and he came out and we rendezvoused on the back patio. Talk bout risky. We hang out and cuddle. play video games. then i leave b4 she gets home. he actually comes and see me in her car when he has to run "errands" in the evening. we have had sex and other sexual acts in her car countless
