I Was the Other Woman

I Have A Habit Of Being "the Other Woman"

My fault in life, is I keep trusting in humans...

I keep believing these sagas, how I'm the woman of his dreams and love and the only one...
What a sick joke...

You care for someone, give your time, spend money, you care, you start to fall in-love and you stupidly trust...

First time was my first real boyfriend, he had a woman in another country, expecting a baby with her the sick pig - yet he married me.... That didn't even last a year, emails great way to find out the truth...

Second knew the guy since we were kids, drunk calls and well guess he enjoyed banging the town...

Another one after that, had a woman of six years - I half lived with him at a point. It hit me I was not the woman when he hid behind a door, chop...

One after that, it gets better, he had a wife with two kids, a girlfriend with one kid - and I stupidly believed that good old fashioned "work" saga...

The one I'm now with, I'm so stupid I still try to believe that I'm his baby - The guy has lied to me so many times, left me, gone for so many others...

I guess I'm a fool who keeps looking for her gold in a drain pipe.

    I lived for 20 years with a man whom had multiple affairs. When I caught him the final time he told me these women he slept with were just weak needy women who would do anything to just be with a man. Easy prey. .........this from a man whom had 4 kids 3 of them girls. MM who cheat in general are just looking to get away with what they can. I wrote to several of the women whom he was continuing affairs with and some of their reactions were they loved him and I was the problem. Some were shocked that they were not the only ones. If he's cheating on his wife he would cheat on you too. Comes around goes around kinda logic. I don't blame some women for getting involved .....like he told me they are weak and needy willing to do whatever to get love. Sounds like they need to do whatever to get some self esteem. I know. He killed my self esteem by cheating and other abuses. Don't become what you would hate to be done to you. It's tremendously painful. Regardless of who you are.

      Sorry for the late reply, life gets busy...
      I'm sorry to hear your story. I think stories like yours always make me feel the saddest. So many years, and you have built a life up and you have a family.
      I think you a true worrier of woman who have had to suffer such heart break. I do strongly believe that he will get what is coming for him, and in a way the woman with no empathy, I believe they also have, got it coming for them to.
      I don't know what pain you must have to feel, what kinds of things you have had to live through, or how many times you have cried from your inner soul outwards to your body. I just hope that somewhere in it all you can find something that makes you believe, you were always worth so much more. You are valuable, find something in this world which gives you that faith. I know I don't know you; but for what its worth, I hope that you find your self esteem, even if its only just a little more then you have now, just a little at a time; and that you find happiness that you have been missing and needing.
