I’d had a dry spell for a bit, and met this guy and went out with him partyl because of the attention he paid to me. When I asked if there were any other women, he said there was one, they were just sexual. I kept suspecting (my intuition is never wrong) something was up. Finally, I asked if I could meet her. He explained no, they have bene in an 'evolving" relationship for over a year which involves money and he has no intention of messing it up by mentioning me. So it seems I was the woman on the side to be kept secret.
Well, thanks to some self worth, helped along by reading Dan Savage’s column, I DTMFA! And I feel great! I did the right thing, I don’t need a man, and I know I will find a nice one someday.
Women (and I say this because it seems mostly women put up with things to go along), don’t put up with the bad stuff.
Sorry the rant, but it bears repeating to anyone out there thinking its just not makign me happy.
So you dumped a bloke who was two-timing you?
Congratulations!! 
She was there first, but he misrepresented and the main problem was he couldn’t tell her about me and I am not going to be the secret woman on the side.
Honesty is best all around.
It feels good.
Good vibes and all, but what does this have to do with ‘women’ empowering themselves. Shouldn’t it be PEOPLES, EMPOWER YOURSELVES, or something else. This isn’t about women (gawd, I sound like catsix, but I don’t mean to honestly… 
) but about all people being sorta honest in relationships?
It seems I’ve noticed that women seem to stay in a relationship which isn’t great because its better than being alone. More so than men. On the average.
