What it means to be the other woman and how it affects you

By

Being in a relationship with a person who’s married to someone, isn’t morally right.


But when it comes to matters of the heart, people do what their heart desires.

Being committed to a married person can be very difficult and painful, as the ‘portrait of the other woman’ is always considered to be bad, destructive and wrong.

But have you ever wondered what are the effects of being the OTHER WOMAN in the relationship?

Let’s decode how being in such a relationship can affect the person.

1. The guilt

Going through such immeasurable guilt can ruin your positive conscience. Being driven into believing that you’re solely responsible for ruining a marriage by being the other woman can force you to blame yourself entirely, whereas it is also your partner’s responsibility.

2. Getting tired

Has your partner promised you that he’ll leave his wife to be with you? While this happens very rarely, it’s important to know that he might be playing mind games with you. And this may tire you out endlessly.

3. Judgements

You’ll find yourself questioning your choices and judgements at every step because, after such a situation, you might find it hard to trust your decisions. When you are constantly being reminded of how wrong it is to be in a relationship with a married person, you will begin to feel that all your judgements, like this one, are morally wrong.

4. The secrets

Such relationships are usually kept in the dark as a big secret, mostly because the married person refuses to acknowledge their extra-marital affair. And the pressure of keeping such secrets can be immense. You might even start feeling depressed, anxious or stressed.

5. Zero patience and low self-esteem

Waiting for your partner to come to you can wear out your patience. It’s not easy. Furthermore, you may even begin experiencing low self-esteem issues that will alter your confidence and self-worth.
