How to Avoid Becoming a Home Wrecker

While perusing Yahoo Answers today I came across this question, "I really like this guy but he has a girlfriend. What do I do?" As if enough people have not been hit by the stupid stick already, sigh. My first inclination was to laugh, and I did. When the chuckles died down I really thought about this question for a minute. What kind of train wreck could this person possibly be creating? My only solace was that I assumed she was probably the tender age of thirteen and breaking up a relationship at that age may cause a few harsh words but she should come out alive. For anyone who has survived adolescence you know that the girls will inevitably bond together and create names for the former boyfriend that are too obscene for me to write here. Kids these days. For those of us who are over eighteen and should know better, what do you do when this happens to you? It's tricky territory regardless of what side you're on and navigating this dilemma does not come easy.

My very first reaction is to scream at the top of my lungs,"Don't do it." If that's not loud enough for you, I'll scream it again and again and again till you understand. You may like anybody you choose but it's when you act on those feelings that we have trouble. Yes, I mean we as in all females. No one wants to be a home wrecker, except maybe Gretchen Wilson and even then she was singing about somebody else. Here's a quick and fast rule, stick to available men, no ifs ands or buts. I do not want to hear he's leaving her, because you and me both know he's not. I do not want to hear that the danger of being caught is appealing. Bungee jump if you need a thrill. I do not want to hear any excuses. Thirteen year old's have the right not to know, but grown women should know better.
