The Unwilling Mistress



Not all mistresses are aware of their true status in relation to the role they play in their men's lives. A woman may go about her life thinking that she is the only one in her man's eyes only to discover later that she is actually the so-called "other woman". Cheating men do not usually go to great extents to cover-up their married status especially if their intended paramours are married women themselves. They might just be tempted to be more secretive if their eyes are set on single women.

Single women are generally more cautious and unwilling to participate in acts of infidelity with a married man. The obvious reason of course is that a single woman has every chance to find her own man so why would she purposely choose to become the spare when she can be the legal wife. The limitation set in time , place, and interacting with people who are deemed important such as family and friends, not to mention sharing affections with a third party are not exactly scenarios to look forward to. This generalization does not include the exception of single women who thrive and revel in adulterous relationships with men.


When a woman is so engulfed in the loving feeling, it is so easy for her to miss the obvious and make excuses for the glaring faults staring her right on the face. There are always telltale signs that a man is not being honest about something particularly about his marital status. Every action that goes against the natural course of conducting a relationship is suspect.


Does he give you all sorts of excuses not to be introduced to his family, friends, and co-workers? Does he often cancel dates with you due to some emergency situations? Do you feel as if he would like to hide you?


Common sense dictates that people who are into a serious relationship will find ways to make their partners feel as much part of their lives as possible and not the other way around. If a man appears to be holding back something, chances are, he is, and it is the woman's responsibility to know since a cheating man almost never confesses until cornered. There is no need to wait for the day when a woman who introduces herself as the wife comes knocking at the door.
