Have you ever been the "other person" or the "side piece"?

Question

Answer

I was “the other woman”. He said his wife died and he was raising his two children on his own. Fell in love with him and there was never a second thought about his life because he spent so much time with me and even brought his kids with him to a firework show we went to together. The night before my birthday I got a phone call... from his wife. She was very much alive and there were very much still married. 🤦‍♀️ I felt HORRIBLE.

Answer

Yes and I didn't know about it. I knew he was recently "broken up" but apparently he was talking to her on the side the whole time saying he wanted to get back with her and he ditched me as soon as they worked it out.  It sucked.

Answer

He told me they broke up and I stupidly believed him. A few weeks later I was hanging out with a group of friends that included her and she was talking about her boyfriend.... it ruined mine and hers relationship. Pretty shitty

Answer

Yes... 
I basically met him on holiday when I was 18. We stayed together the whole holiday and met a few times after too. I found out he had a girlfriend and stopped contact with him. About 2 years later he started messaging me again to meet up. It annoyed me (I knew he was still with his girlfriend) so I played along with it to gather evidence... anyway I found his girlfriend on Facebook and messaged her to let her know what a scumbag he was. Fast-forward another 2 years or so, it’s about 3am and I get a message from his now wife... (the girlfriend) she’s only just read my messages... she is heartbroken and doesn’t know what to do, she married him had a baby with him. I felt like the worst person ever.

Answer

In a way I was "tricked" into being a fwb with a man who had a pregnant girlfriend. I feel absolutely horrible about it to this day. He told me that they were both wanting to sleep with me and then when the time came and she wasn't there, I asked him about it and he said that she said he could sleep with me. And then later when she came at me about it, I got defensive because I was under the impression that she was ok with it. I should have known better. I was 17. They were in their 20's. It tears me up because I was stupid and she got hurt.

Answer

I’ve been in every part of a cheating triangle. None of them were positive experiences.

Answer

I was “the other person” with a man in an open marriage in which everyone knew about everyone.

Answer

I was stupidly in love with this guy when I was a teenager. We never had sex but we messed around a lot. He had a girlfriend the whole time and I knew. I guess I just felt like my love for him made it not wrong. They didn’t get married or anything. They broke up for college. She never found out and I ditched him. I don’t feel particularly bad about it because of how everything worked out but it was definitely wrong and not something I’d ever do again.

Answer

My ex was seeing two other girls at the same time. I'm now friends with one, and get along fine with the other (havent seen her in years). The kicker is I found out that he was also seeing one more later on when he asked me to be the godmother of the baby that was conceived. 🤣
