The Other Woman

The Lessons of an Affair

I decided to tell my story, to hopefully influence others no to take the path I chose. It is a roller coaster ride with sharp turns and terrifying loops. Growing up we always say we want to be teachers or doctors but as teenage girls we never envision ourselves as growing up to be the "other woman" in some mans life. I was the other woman for nine months, it began at a time in my life where I felt unwanted, unloved and undesirable. In walks the man of my dreams and he sweeps me away. He made me feel like a woman again, not a wife or a mother, a beautiful woman. Honestly I didn't hesitate to get involved with this man, knowing that he had a wife at home and I had a husband to go home to didn't stop me. Yes, I felt guilt but the good feelings outweighed the bad ten to one. I wanted to feel the sparks again, that giddy feeling in the pit of your stomach, even the tingle in the toes when you get those special kissess. In my messed up mind it was all worth it just to get that stuff back.
