Dear Queenie,
I started dating this married man about 3½ years ago. The wife had a fit and he moved in with me because he loves me dearly. I make him happy and comfort him.
Now, after all he has told me about what his wife was doing that made him upset, he sees her. I don’t know if it’s only because of the kids, because he goes to the extreme in helping his ex out.
Sometimes he comes home real late and it’s not always he’s coming from the wife’s apartment. He hardly discusses why he’s late and if I ask him he’s upset.
Queenie, what’s the matter with him? Why can’t he see that I love him, I am the best thing for him, he made a mistake to marry that ugly picky-head wife and that I am just right for him?—The other woman
Dear Other woman,
Let’s see: You started seeing this man knowing that he was cheating on his wife, the mother of his children, with you. Did it never occur to you that, far from being “the best thing for him,” you were the cause of at least part of the problems he was having with his wife?
And now, when he comes home late and you know he hasn’t been with his ex-wife, it doesn’t occur to you that he is probably cheating on you the same way he did on her and that’s why he gets upset when you ask him?
No doubt the next “other woman” is telling him that he made a mistake to get in with “ugly picky-head” you, and that she is “just right for him.” And when he leaves her for the next woman, the next woman will tell him the same things, and he will do the same things to her.
For heaven’s sake, wake up and smell the coffee!
