(From the Oprah Show)
Last night The Oprah Show interviewed three former married men’s mistresses, and one who is still in a relationship with a married man. (Link to interview)
Below are my take-aways. I’m hoping they will spare me from wasting time thinking about lost causes in the future, because these lessons seem to apply to any kind of relationship:
1) You will never get the time back that you spent on someone who in reality keeps you in second place. (Ouch. This was the biggest regret from the women interviewed.)
2) All the men made these women feel special, and made extensive plans with them for a future together, even though they never left their wives.
3) You wouldn’t go out to a bar looking for someone who would only give you 30% of their time / love / attention, would you? (Or would you?)
4) If you’re dating a man who is cheating on their wife, who’s to say they are not going to cheat on you. (It’s very common for mistresses to be cheated on.)
I’ve written pages and pages in my diary about my thoughts on cheating because sometimes I feel conflicted about the topic. It’s become far too common for it to be so black and white, so I'm hoping to gain some more clarity in the future. Seeing this show has certainly helped.
