Columnist and celebrity Vogue Williams (who happens to be the ex-wife of Brian McFadden) said she doesn’t forgive the woman who kissed her husband.
“Being with someone in a relationship breaks girl code,” she wrote in The Independent the weekend.
“If someone didn’t know a man was attached and was completely honest in their mistake, then I could personally forgive that girl, not so much the person I was with though,” Williams said. “The only thing I couldn’t forgive is a girl who knows a man is with someone and still chooses to go there anyway.”
It takes two to cheat. but it’s usually one that is scorned. The woman.
She’s the woman who stole my husband.
Does she have no self-respect?
How could she?
The ‘other woman’ is loathed, feared, laughed at, pitied, branded, blamed.
This is understandable. It’s certainly easier to be angry at a woman you don’t know, or who means nothing to you, as opposed to your husband of 15 years or boyfriend of 12 months. Blaming the mistress can be a convenient outlet for hurt, grief and insecurity.
But is it fair?
When a women doesn’t know a man is in a relationship, the responsibility of protecting that relationship falls 100% to the husband or boyfriend. But, when she knows of the relationship, does that relationship become her responsibility also? Even though he’s likely to be equally keen, persuasive and seductive in both situations (arguably more so, when trying to convince a woman to sleep with a married man)?

Oh geez be angry at BOTH of them!. It hurts to be cheated on by two people that know better. If you get your hands on them, beat them both down, ditch the dude if you want. Bottom line after you get cheated on---DO WHAT YOU WANT!
If your husband/ boyfriend knowingly engages with the 'other' woman then absolutely they're both scumbags. But there are definitely women out there who will try to flirt or catch your man's eye even when you're standing right next to him! I know because I've had it happen to me a couple of times. I also personally know some women who deliberately go after guys who are taken because they 'enjoy' the chase & the thrill it gives to their egos when the guy goes for it.
Don't be so deluded - there are b****es out there.
