Reaching out to the other woman
So you just found out that your man has been cheating on you and you are hurting at levels that no one can understand. You have somehow found comfort in knowing that you have information on the woman he is cheating on you with. You have her telephone number and can call her. But would you call his other woman, and if you did, what would you say?
Cynthia, 41:
The fact that he has cheated on me means that there is no need to talk to him or her. What would be the point?
Cassandra, 37:
I fell in this bucket once, and yes, I did contact the other woman. I just wanted to know why she was with him even though she knew he was married and had a family. I just couldn’t understand why and who would want to break up a marriage. I was in a lot of pain and calling her only made things worse because she was cold and heartless like he was.
Simone, 28:
I would call her to curse her out and tell her that she could have him because I would no longer want him.
Liz, 29:
Calling this other woman would only make a fool of me. What is she going to tell me that doesn’t boil down to him cheating on me with her? Calling would be a waste of my time, and to be honest, I wouldn’t have much more time to waste considering I already wasted some on him.
Abby, 22:
The fact that I have her number means I would use it. I might not call the same day I get it, but I think I would call so I could vent my anger not just on him, but also on her. But that would be it — one call and nothing more. I wouldn’t want to find out the details of them hooking up or ask any questions. I would just want to get my anger out as my form of closure and move on.
