The Other Woman

When you are a little girl, you fantasize about this fairytale of what life is supposed to be like. You grow up and meet someone, instantly fall in love, and live happily ever after. What you do not account for when daydreaming about this perfect life is the possibility of "The Other Woman ." The Other Woman is not the girlfriend or wife but the mistress. In today's society, we are always led to believe that "The Other Woman" should be blamed for ruining a marriage. But that should not be the case. The other woman should not be condemned by society. She is just a person that fell in love with someone who was already in a relationship. The path to becoming "The Other Woman" does not just happen overnight; I think it strives from having an attachment disorder, needing a sense of empowerment, and being in love.
