Wow... My father cheated on my mother. She was taking care of us 2 kids at home while he and some woman had an affair. I used to wonder if that woman ever cared that she was 'helping' to hurt a family.

I know it isn't always the woman's fault, but you are making a conscious decision to have an innappropriate relationship with a man who can offer NO kind of honest, trustworthy committment to you (or his wife, apparently). And really, how can you expect him to? Call you? Does he call his wife to tell her he's going to be late BEFORE or AFTER he sleeps with you? How can you respect a man who has been cheating on his wife for 2 years? How do you sleep at night?

I'm sorry, maybe you need to find a board for mistresses... I just can't offer any sympathetic advice on this one.

I dont think you can blame the woman AT ALL....I have been cheated on and I have had an affair with a guy who was in a relationship for 6 years. So I have been on both sides, and I really hated it to be the 'mistress' girl but I was in love and you cant just stop loving someone because you know its wrong or that IT WILL NEVER WORK. Look at all the woman that post messages here!
