The other woman in a man's life

Melinda was unhappy as her husband Steve was behaving rather indifferently with her. He was always late from work and when she questioned him, he was very rude with her. There seemed to be no communication between them and of late he had moved out of the room to sleep separately.

She was breaking her head as to the reason for this change in him and soon she found out why. She went to see her mother and when was returning in the bus she could not believe her eyes when she saw a laughing Steve along with a highly made up woman. ‘How he is laughing’, Melinda thought with agony, as he had forgotten to smile at her for a long time and to see him in such a mood pulled her heart strings.

There was a harsh fight and the children could not understand why their parents were fighting so bitterly. Steve demanded divorce and Melinda cursed the woman who had wrecked her life. Whose mistake was it that a marriage of eight years had to end?

Whoever might be wrong, the other woman in Steve’s life is the main culprit. She knew that he was married and she should not have allowed intimacy in her interaction with him. She should have known that she was destroying a family and lives of two tender children who were suddenly thrown into the yearning world of a single parent.

When you know that the man you are attracted to is married, you should immediately deviate from him. You might argue that love does not come planning, but you should also realize that you are intruding into the peace of an innocent woman. When you show that you cannot be taken for granted, the man will not make any moves that takes your relationship into a track of dishonest love.

Love is blind, but you are sensible with discerning brain and when you are able to control your mind, it becomes easy for you to have power over your feelings. If you feel the situation to be charged with emotions, do not hesitate to ask for a transfer to another work branch. This move of yours does not mean you are running away from something and that you are weak.

You are in fact behaving in a magnanimous way, with a clean intention of not spoiling the life of another person. If you are a strong person you can work in the same place, but you should be firm in maintaining distance from that man . You should not behave aggressively, but be friendly in an aloof manner with that person. He will know that he too has to maintain a dignified distance and soon everything will be normal.

When you are able to master your feelings, you do not have to suffer the guilty conscience of breaking a marriage destroying your peace of mind and you will soon become usual again. If on the other hand you let your feelings rule your mind and slip into a relationship with a married man, the result will be disastrous to say the least.

When the man feels his interest dwindling, he will not think twice before leaving you and return to his family fold. You will be left in a lurch and you will undergo immense stress and pressure to be normal. You should not allow yourself to be a stop gap interest to a married man, and when you are able to keep away from such people, very soon you too will find a life partner who will be your own.
