[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it low self-esteem? Trauma? Are they just gullible to the "my wife won't do xyz" crap? Why would any woman willfully choose to share a man? [/quote]

We choose to be a side piece for several reasons: we either don’t want a traditional relationship, and solely seek physical intimacy; we choose to settle for less than we deserve, because at least we’ll be desired; or we’re not okay with being the side piece, but we convince ourselves this is fine.[/quote]

Yep. Basically all of the above which translates they are damaged goods in some way. [/quote]

Agree, so broken. Honest, but very sad. The problem is just because you're damanged/broken, doesn't mean you should participate in something that hurts other women and children.

But also agree that the worst person is the cheating spouse.

First post on this thread - thanks to those who answered honestly. There is honor in that.

I have been married for 30 years. I can see why it is not for everyone.

I think that we are all broken in some way. However, I refused many times to be a side piece before and after marriage mostly because I could not bear the thought of hurting another woman or messing up a family. This was especially true of friends whose husbands/ boyfriends were hitting on me without their knowledge. I never told them about the unwanted advances of their partners because I am well aware that many women are far quicker to blame women whom their partners are attracted to rather than their own cheating spouse.

For me, another element to this sensitive subject is that intimacy is sacred. I think people (both male and female) expose themselves to great personal spiritual harm by becoming physically intimate with people whom they do have great affection for. That does not mean that I have the right to judge others for their choices but just to be aware of one’s own personal boundaries.
