The ‘Other woman’ club
[Posted April 9th, 2008]Great posting on the Best Of craigs list I spotted recently - I’ll quote it in full:
I want to have a club. A club made only for women who made the poor decision of dating and falling in love with a married man.
I don’t want this to be a club for women who date married men repeatedly because they like certain aspects of it. This club would be for women who have only done it once, and vowed (and kept the vow) of not ever doing it again.
We can discuss a subject each week.
Week One might go something like this,
"Why the fuck didn’t I listen to the 1500 people who told me this was a bad idea?"
Week Two might have this title:
"Why sex with married men is often 1000 times better than sex with single men, and how the fuck am I ever going to go back to having sex in a bed at night like normal people when I’ve been giving blow jobs in the back seat of cars for the last six months because my married boyfriend doesn’t want to run into my roommates?"
Week Three might be a break from all the angst and we can choose one of the married men to stalk briefly and innocently… maybe we can wheatpaste all the poles on his block with the simple phrase, "There is philanderer who lives amongst you"… Yeah, that sounds fun.
Week four we can delve into some Gestalt Therapy. One of the recently dumped/dumper can scream into an empty chair, "You told me we would move to Sweden when you left her and you just bought tickets to take your family to Sweden for Christmas???? I thought you were taking ME to SWEDEN? I fucking hate you and hope you get mugged and killed by a group of Swedish Assasins on Christmas Eve. And by the way your come tastes nasty!" Then, we can all go give our friend a big hug and proceed to get really drunk. Yippee!
Week Five we will all commend ourselves on how much cuter we are (as compared to the wives), and then feel bad for having aything against the wife, since we must remember it’s her idiotic husband that we hate.
Week Six? New member recruitment. When trying to get new members, remember that they still might be in the denial phase. You must fully expect to hear the following phrases,
"No, this is really totally different than your average infidelity situation",
"But *my* boyfriend has never done this before",
"Oh, he’s leaving her, he’s been trying to let her down lightly, it might take some time."
"Oh, he’s got kids, so he has to do this in his own way"
Or if he doesn’t have kids,
"His wife is very sensitive, she’s threatended to commit suicide/is bipolar/is psychotic"
Women, you know what to tell the new recruit,
"If he is still in the same house as her, he’s not in the midst of leaving her. He’s with her. If he was *actually* prepared to leave, he would *actually* be taking steps to find another bed to sleep in, not *actually* text messaging you twice a day as his method of talking to the ‘love of his life’ on the weekend. And actually? His wife probably *is* pyschotic and suicidal and it’s actually because her husband is a lying dipshit."
