To be honest who hasn't been there, the woman cheated on or the women used to cheat with. It's never easy for either side having "invested" themselves in this for the long haul. It's terrible if you think about it for all women especially the other women or in 2016 as they are now called Side Chicks. I know they have to hate being called "The Other Woman/The Side Chick" I mean look at the word SIDE, as in... Side Chick/ Side piece/ Side anything. Meaning someone's second choice , never to truly have the 100% commitment from the men that use them. Why hate the title? You see it defines her as a place holder like working a Part-Time Job with Full-time Hours . And truth be told, who really wants to put in those long hours and get part-time benefits.
What are Part-Time Benefits you ask, well this means there is No real commitment, No need to claim, No acknowledgment in public, No significant holidays spent together( for long periods of time or with his family... they don't know you exist remember ), all in all your just “friends”, friends with minimal benefits. Who wants a part-time position, when you can have that full-time position accompanied with insurance benefits, vacation days, sick days, personal days AND a company car. Right? True
Now if you already know your man has a SC then this is where it gets tricky. So you've argued about it, and are at a stand still, meaning he's not changing and your not leaving, know that it's just a matter of time before you relationship crumbles, like a house built on bad foundation. Here's a thought, by not taking any action you are showing him that you are unbothered by her, why? Because in your situation you look at yourself as the Queen B. You shoukd know that as you know of her she more than likely knows about you too, and is out to get you. Now you may be reading this and thinking what does she mean out to get me? Well, lets look at it this way. There are several different types of "other women/ SC’s...
The Other Woman/ Side Chick With a Side Dude The SC that knows she’s a SC and doesn’t care because your man is her Side Dude. He is nothing more to her than that, her Side Dude. Her king is her king and your man as her Side Dude is disposable. She could careless about you and what the two of you have going on, because to her, he is there to please her not to commit to her.
The I Will Be You Type of Side Chick This is the SC that believes you are disposable which means you are replaceable, which in turn means bye bye for you as the “Main Chick”. She will do whatever it takes turn your man into “her man”, because in her mind he's already hers. This SC makes sure to treat him like her king. He may in turn buy her things, take her out on dates (far awsy), and treat her like s temporary Queen. Since she knows that thete is already a Queen on the throne she negins to work on her exit plan as a SC to s MC. She is very strategic in absolutely makes sure that she doesn’t do the things he says that you do, that piss him off. How does she know these things, well its simple, who else is he going to complain and rant to. This is the SC that is fine with knowing that you exist right off the bat, and No she doesn’t care that you two have been in a 7 year relationship with however any kids. Why not? Well, because she is “investing” herself in this relationship that she believes will be something bigger in the end. The end which results in her being the Main chick, the Lady of his household. Even if thats not what his plans are for her.
I’m a SC ? The SC that truly didn’t know that she is the SC. She never knew you existed, she never knew he had kids or a family that he lives with. She thought she found the man of her dreams and unfortunately found out that he is committed to someone else. It doesn’t really matter how she found out but know that she knows she feels stuck. A person whom she has felt a deep connection with planned to be with and may have even presented to her family. Finding out she, herself, is the SC well that hurts. Especially when now that she knows he’s probably feeding her lies about how he and you don’t sleep in the same bed. Or how you two have decided to stay in the same house for the kids. But he never makes mention of her possibly meeting his so called “Ex” to verify. Since now she know he’s lying…What is she to do now? How can she explain this to her friends, better yet her family?
Ladies who are SC if you do become the MC always remember that what hoes around comes around. Therefore there will be a time when he'll do to you what he's done to his MC. You'll say No, because he really ♡'s me, but wait didn't he really love his MC too? Don't be fooled!
And ladies the answer to the question ”How to Stop the SC Dilemma ?” It’s easy Don’t Allow It to happen in your relationship. Too many times we are broken down by men whose actions chip away at our heart. Where we feel fear of leaving, fear of the unknown of what is to come. But we need to know our worth, especially since a man that is comfortable hurting you will never change. Looking at his track record will help you see where you've been versus where you are, and where you Want and Should be.
In his mind he thinks of reasons to change, but then again Why Should He? You have allowed him to continue his actions because neither one of you leave, not the SC or the MC have left him. The truth is that we as women see relationships as investments, and they are an investment. Investments where we give our time, energy, love, fears, hopes, and dreams to share with our partner, or king, and the return should be a beautiful, healthy long relationship. But no matter how much you invest in your relationship you can always walk away with no return, nothing to show for those years that you have “invested” in him and with him in your "relationship". No matter how much you support him, and hold him down if he’s doing you wrong he will continue to do you wrong, because you are hurt, but okay with it. There are times where we as women are Afraid to let the go for fear of starting over. Fear that no one wants a women with kids, the fear that all men are the same, and sometimes that fear that you are too old to find someone else. Says who? Look at yourself as an investment, are you worth a good man. Just as a good man is deserving of you. Someone who will love your kids as their own, someone who will treat you like their Queen. Someone who at the end of the day knows what you have gone through in the past and understands the hurt that you’ve endured. He will treat you like a Queen, and you will treat him like a deserving King.
Now while it’s not impossible for people to change if you chose to stay with your partner make sure they know what you will not tolerate in your relationship. This doesn’t mean keep brining up what happened in the past. This just means that the two of you have an understanding as to what you are not willing to deal with, in other words these are your Deal Breakers. While you need to treat him like you want him he should treat you the same.
But in case your through...
