[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a friend back in my 20s who loved pursuing engaged and married men. She said she did it for the "challenge" and, as another PP said above, she really got off on the ego boost of taking a man away from another woman. Guess why I stopped being friends with her?

It's a really appalling attitude.[/quote]

Same. My friend thought she must be some shit to steal away a married man. I remember her once sleeping with two different married men on the same night. Had sex with one in her bed. Got a booty call from the other and drove to the Eastern Shore to do him too. Left the other guy sleeping in her apartment.[/quote]

I had a friend who was like this. She had a couple of long-term relationships with married men. The first was just cheating, he never left his wife, they eventually split. He was also her boss. The next guy did leave his wife, but then went back to her, but then dumped them both for  (several) someone else(s). She kept trying to get that one back for a couple years. When I asked her why, she said that if he'd had a wife, and was willing to leave her, and then all these other women, but still chose her in the end, it would mean she'd 'won'.

After the married guys stopped hurting her, she switched to a guy who is an on-and-off-the-wagon alcoholic. It's been years, the doctor has told him he has liver damage from the drinking, and he hasn't managed to stay sober for more than about 6 months at a time. Yet she stays off-and-on with him because, if he could give up the drinking, it would mean he really loved her most of all.

I think she just has a really screwed up idea of what love is, in that if it doesn't overcome some major obstacle (e.g. a pre-existing relationship, addiction, whatever) it isn't 'real love.'[/quote]
