The Other Woman (or Man)

by Sherry Holetzky | More from this Blogger

What is it that is so great about the other woman? Well, for one thing, she has a great advantage over the wife in that she has no responsibilities in the relationship. She doesn't have to worry about paying bills, taking care of children, cleaning house, or washing his dirty underwear; all she has to do is look pretty and be available.

Hey, a wife could do those things too, if she wasn't so busy working, taking care of you, your home, and your children! Husbands need to realize this before beginning an affair. If you want your sexy, fun, wife back, then help ease her load so she has more time and energy for looking hot and having fun.

The same is true of the other man. It's easy to be oh-so-charming, romantic, and attractive when it's only required on a part time basis. He can probably even restrain himself from belching loudly during the few hours that he spends with you. What a gentleman! Yet, if the two of you got together on a permanent basis, you might just find yourself saying, "Excuse you!" at some point.

Look inside your marriage for fun, conversation, companionship, and sex. Don't let someone else come between you and your spouse and break the bonds love and trust that you have built together.

Think about what you really want from your relationship. Discuss it with your mate. Do a little soul searching and see if there isn't something you might do to help improve your relationship or encourage your spouse to be more exciting or available or spontaneous.

Remember, the other woman or man is a facade. The "other" always has his or her game face on. That person wouldn't be so intriguing if he or she faced the same responsibilities as your spouse does. The monotony of the daily grind is often what causes a marriage to become stagnant or unfulfilling, so try to find ways to improve what you have instead of looking elsewhere for satisfaction.
