Why do some women get into a relationship with a man thats either married or committed and settles with being the third wheel. How do they really feel about themselves.

They would spend there last dime on this man and she knows that he will never leave his mate to be with her. Would you say that these ladies have a low self esteem or they just feel as though a time will eventually come when they will be made his priority?

Serenity1 agony auntspeaking from experience, im a woman who had an affair with a commited guy. and i can honestly say that i was vulnerable, low self esteem, looking for love in all the wrong places, desperate to be loved, and settled for a loser.

i can proudly say that after 10 months with him, i've decided to cut all contact...suprisingly i know him so well that i know he will be calling me soon...but i will not answer, and if he blocks his number i will tell him im busy and will have to talk to him another time (never)...

us woman settle for being #2 for alot of reasons...but here's mine...hope this helps

I think low self esteem may factor in here , yes. Also I think that maybe these men are willing to tell the women anything they want to hear to keep them around and supporting them. So the women are feeling like they are special and that no matter what this man loves them above all others.
