Let's look at the other side...

So we have all these threads about men having affairs, I mean married men and we curse them and condemn them, but what about the woman who chose to have the affair with him? In most cases, she is fully aware of his marital status, often times she is married herself…so what makes a woman lose her self respect and dignity and go ahead with something like that?

Is it the thrill of forbidden love? Fearlessness or who cares? Oh what the heck, no one will find out? Somehow I can’t bring myself to understand how you can “just” fall in love…that only happens when you are “looking” and have your options open.

Re: Let's look at the other side...

It's LUST and maybe she wants to be feel WANTED.

Most studies show it has less to do with sex and more to do with "the way the person made them feel"

Re: Let's look at the other side...

That means she was looking...eh?

Re: Let's look at the other side...

OFCOURSE - things liek this just don't happen. You have to put a WHOLE LOTTA effort in it.

Re: Let’s look at the other side…

***I think its more the fact that a married man represents stability in her mind and thus she thinks she can ensnare him :hmmm:


Re: Let's look at the other side...

LUST?

Really?

I think I'd have to stick to feeling wanted.
But the way I see it - either one can't be faithful to their partners yet they expect (I'M assuming again) some level of faithfulness out of this?

I dont know - too muddled of a concept for me to enjoy.
I'll opt out.

Ironic isn’t it? I dont know how these girls can expect this guy to be faithful to them, when they’re the one he’s cheating with? if he cheats with u…what makes u think he will be faithful to you?

it’s just them having gigantic egos and thinking so highly of themselves..that they think a guy will change their ways for her.

Re: Let's look at the other side...

Half of them are just BORED.

i don't even think they think about the consequences. It's more like a thrill or a goal the get the guy and the secrecey of it.

Studies also show that these relationships usually don't last or sustain. But it too late by then

Re: Let's look at the other side...

Actually i believe whenever we hear about a married man cheating with a girl, we are quick to blame the girl....that bothers alot of women esp, b/c here the woman is getting the blame and noone says anything to the guy...so to talk about the married man cheating and putting the blame on him is still relatively new and exciting so to speak :p

so let's talk about married women who have affairs, shall we?

Re: Let's look at the other side...

The woman has no morals and neither does the man she's sleeping with. That's why they do it, cause they don't see anything wrong with it. Selfish and irresponsible on both parts.


Very True !

If he can cheat once , he can cheat again !......There's always a younger and prettier face to be had ! ***

Must be the studies done by women

Re: Let's look at the other side...

yahan bhi tapak parhay aap -

Dude the study was about men.

Most of the time the other woman is not even as pretty, qualified as the spouse.

Humans just want to feel WANTED and APPRIECIATED and when they don't get that at home - they go elsewhere to find it.

bs ..we man just want the real stuff … wanted not wanted bakwas sai humhain koi laina dena nahi.:chai:.

kyun ji .. yahan tapaknaa manaa hai kiyaa?

and wht the heck you girls put 'other woman and the man' in one category and the rest of Pakeeza woman in another .. who defines those boundaries anyways? Why one of the 'other woman' cannot be out of the 'Pakeeza Woman' category and if she could be, why is it only guys fault all the times then?

if guys are getting real stuff at home then why cheat?

Re: Let's look at the other side...

Breaking out of boring life.

women categorize.

And what are we suppose to do - take her to coffee and have a discussion with her put her in our pakeeza friends category.

The "other" woman - goes in the skanky women category.

Re: Let's look at the other side...

Interesting topic

Re: Let's look at the other side...

I think the main responsibility lies on the married person cheating. Definitely both are cheating but it is the married spouse responsibility to protect his marriage. Yes the lady having the affair is at fault, but only because the guy is failing his marriage and letting her. Or vice cersa if it was the lady who is cheating. Either way it is sickening.

Although I condone anyone cheating some of them aren't looking to cheat. That's the last thing they ever planned. Say a guy is just friends with a lady at the office. They see each other everyday, go to lunch etc....and really get along. Before you know it they are confiding in each other, really gelling. They never intend to cross the line, but somehow they fall for each other. Perhaps stress at home, or just not any understanding from spouse at home, no excuse but still. Whatever the cause sometimes these feelings do develop but I disagree that they were not aware. When you realize you have crossed the safety zone, you have to mentally step back or away. You are just a weak individual if you use that as excuse & let yourself go.
