Other woman

Being the second woman in any relationship can be psychologically very disturbing. Many times this other woman tag seems degrading because society usually has an uncompromising perspective towards them.

They are often considered to be homewreckers and cheaters but not every other woman falls into the same category.

Deep guilt

They carry a sense of guilt within themselves and are ready to agree to anything in a partnership or with their loved ones because they feel that they are doing something wrong. This aspect affects the behaviour of the other woman immensely.

Low self-esteem

The self-esteem of the other woman more often takes a hit as she loses her confidence because she is not treated or looked upon respectfully by society most of the time. Even in their relationship, it seems that she is the second choice and is never the priority.

Unpredictable decisions

Since their mind is usually influenced by the other woman's tag, they sometimes take unpredictable decisions either due to the pressures from outside or due to confusion. The decisions are also unpredictable because they are unsure about their love life.

Feeling lonely

The other woman cannot open her mind to anyone because usually, no one trusts her or her decisions. That is why she has very few friends and hence is more often lonely.

Confusion about future

They are always worried and confused about their future. If the partner is ready to leave his first wife then there are chances that she might feel happier. Otherwise, she is constantly worried about what will happen to her relationship in the future.
