I Was the Other Woman

Does Karma Really Come Back?

By: PsycoChic
Written on September 3rd, 2008

When my boyfriend and I got back together about a year and a half ago I was the other woman. He was living with his ex, it was over but she wouldn't move out. I had been over for about six months. Let me go back a little farther. We dated for about a year and split up. He then dated her. We still lived in the same town so we'd see each other everywhere. We had both needed the time to realize that we wanted to be together.  She wasn't happy bein with him, and he wasn't happy with her. He stopped and we talked a little, we talked for about two months before we even talked about getting back together. We did get back together, we even moved back in together. I have to say we've never been happier. Our family is whole again. We each have a child from a previous relationship and we have one together. My fear is that he will do to me what we did to her. I honestly don't think it will happen, because something brought us back together right?

    Yes you have to believe in your unity and believe in your team. There is definately a reason that brought you together but don't let thoughts or memories of the past cloud your future.

    If you live life fearing the worst, its bound to happen. I understand that once bitten twice shy, but you can't live life half heartedly. You're in this. The fact that he did it to someone else does NOT in my opinion mean he will do it to you. Because in this instance there are REASONS why he did it -all you need do is take care of your bed, take care of your man, and live for your family. If you are always the best YOU for the both of you, there's no reason he will stray. Men are not slime (and trust me I should probably say they are). But they aren't. Like women, they stray when things are not right, sometimes they have the courage to move on, sometimes not. Sometimes they have to get kicked out before they realise they were unhappy. Just like us.



    But a happy man has no reason to go looking. And a happy woman has no reason to fear. Be at peace, dear and just be grateful each day - the more the gratitude, the more the blessings!

    We've been back together now for almost 2 years. We have a total of 3 kids, not all from this time. We have the happy family life, we have the same struggles as any family. I am just afraid it will change. I guess that is a chance everybody takes.
