7 Ways to Avoid Becoming the Other Woman
The phrase ‘other woman’ popularly refers to a woman dating a married man or a guy who is already in a steady relationship. Do you really want to become the other woman and carry the baggage of having destroyed someone’s relationship all your life? Read on to know how you can avoid being the other woman.
1. Pause and think about all the negative consequences of your relationship
It may become difficult to have a straight mind when you are falling in love with someone because emotions tend to be at their peak. Once you calm down, pause and think about all the possible consequences of your relationship with a committed man. You could be destroying a well set home, you could affect the life of small kids, your own family could feel hurt and you may never get what you deserve in life.
2. Quit being the loser and stop him from being the winner
The fact that your date is enjoying two women at one time is enough proof that he is the one having all the fun. Tell him firmly that if he wants to continue being in a relationship with you, he must have his priorities sorted out. Avoid feeling pity for him and stop being the loser.
3. Test his long term intentions
One of the easiest ways to test your man’s intentions for you is to ask him to marry you or live in with you. If he agrees, you have found yourself the right mate. If he doesn’t, chances are that he may never quit his other relationship and you may always end up being the other woman in his life.
4. Set higher standards for yourself
You wouldn’t be happy if you under perform in a presentation at work, would you? Similarly, you should be equally concerned if you are involved with a man who is already in a committed relationship. Remind yourself that you are dating a man who goes home to another woman and comes back to you the next day again. Decide if you want to be treated like a second rate citizen or you want a soul mate who is exclusively dedicated to you.
