Why is it when women find out that their man is cheating, they blame the other woman? Doesn’t it make sense to direct your anger on the one that cheated.  What always has struck me is that the man is almost left out of these “Cat fights” and some even seem to enjoy it!! I don’t understand why people do this, after all aren’t there only 2 people in the relationship?

We spoke to some women about this issue and it seems that most of them felt it’s natural for the wife or girlfriend to want to confront the other woman, whether out of rage, revenge, curiosity or just a need to vent. On one hand, some felt the cheating spouse is the one who broke his commitment, and he must be held liable. But on the other hand, one can argue, the mistress is an equal participant in the deceitful affair and both should be held accountable.

However, while confronting her may bring about a temporary sense of relief; it may do little to fix the problem. How she responds during the initial confrontation does not indicate how she will behave after she has time to think about all that was said. Exposing her can have two different outcomes. Sometimes it creates a wedge between the husband and the mistress. But it also may backfire by moving the cheating spouse and the other woman closer together. That can lead to ongoing confrontations.

Have you ever had to deal with a cheating partner? Did you confront the other woman? Tell us your story.

    I never understood this myself, I don’t get why the woman gets mad at the other woman, it’s the man that the anger should be focused on. To me unless u knew her and she knew that ya were together how can she be at fault. You were in a relationship with the man, not her, she doesn’t have to regard u or your relationship. I just personally think that it is tacky for 2 women to be fighting over some dude. Ew. Personally if that happened to be I’m out, and would just be like sweetie keep him, he would not be worth it. I don’t do second chances for things like that and I’m not going to fight for him so the relationship should be done.

    Happened to me before and the only person I needed to cuss was my (now) ex-boyfriend. Yeah the chic did know that we were together but i wasnt in a committed relationship with her, i was in a relationship with him. hoes will be hoes so i expect nothing less from her but I made sure he felt my wrath. and really all the fussing is just to release my pressure cuz i that point she can have him if thats the kind of man she is interested in. to all the mistresses out there, remember that he was in another relationship when you found him and the same WILL happen to you when he gets bored.

    I would never fight for a man. If she knew you were together honey you get whatever bs he gives you deserve all of it. If cheated on me with you really do you think your that special? Haha guess what he done with you he done.While you planning your life with this man guess he planning his life with the next woman. If cheated once he will do it again.Its a matter of when. He wanted to be free so I let him be free.So jumpoffs other woman mistress you know all the names have him and his issues. I don’t have a headache anymore its yours. Good luck with that!!!

    I don’t do that, she didn’t do it, he did, unless she did know and didn’t care, that is her problem now. I don’t want him, let her keep him and watch how he cheats on her.

    Because we need to be mad at someone and “he/she would never have if….” WRONG! She/he don’t owe u s**t that mate of ours do! Kick ur mate’s ass, cuss ur mate’s ass out and leave or stay with ur mate and her/his bulls**t. GET IT TOGETHER!

    i have been both the other woman and the main 1 and have always said the anger should be pointed at the deceitful party “YOUR” man… she has no obligation to you HE does … when I was the main woman I left him alone to be with the woman he was cheatin with … I’m the 1 winnin she actually did me a favor in helping me to see not to waste any more of my valuable time dedicated to a jerk. when I was in the other woman position I felt that I was getting what I wanted and thats what I was concerned about I didnt go around calling his woman or dumb sh** like that , those woman need their behinds whooped off the strength of they DISRESPECTFUL, I played my part and knew that his companionship was momentary and not to get caught up because why would i want a man who prides himself in being deceitful anyway??

    I have fought or confronted the other girl over a guy before and at the end I felt stupid behind it. Now that I am more mature, I don’t believe in fighting or competing over no dick (too much headache and drama) because my self worth is more than that. I can use that energy towards something positive.

    Wow lol your tripping, most of man fall in love with woman cuz we fund thing in your that we like ,thing that make our heart beat faster, when it come to love and he or she can carry a conversation that can go all nite and day but the closer man and woman get, the more lazy they are , woman stop taking care of their self, over 50% of woman in us are over wieght, 20% stop eating are to skinny 10 are in shape and the rest are normal, ladies I personal like thick girl, not fat I like my girl wound, but anyway, your woman fail to relieze that look and friendship and sex is wat a relationship is about, I really hate when a woman say their man love the way I look, just remeber what your wrote ,man are dog so if you stop taking care of yourselft you gonna be unhappy,every man care about how you look if they didn’t they would cheat or look at a model or a play bunny walkin by like they wonna hit it……

    This only happend to me once. I was pregnant, He was having a sexual relationship with her, he told me that ended. Then he formed a close over all relationship with me. He was with me most of the time, so I had no clue, I thought he had ended it with her. she knew about me and my pregnancy, she should have ended it out of respect for my condition. I have a problem if the women knows about the mans woman and continue the afair. If she does not know then that’s different. But those type of women are desperate and can’t get there own man.

    I HAD THAT PROBLEM WHERE I WAS THE OTHER WOMAN BUT THE SAD THING ABOUT THIS ME AND THIS WOMAN WE BOTH DID KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER AND SHE WANTED TO BLAME ME FOR WRECKING HERE RELATIONSHIP . I HAD TO MAKE HER UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THE PROBLEM WAS REALLY HER MAN . SEE WHAT WE LADIES NEED TO DO IS STOP BEING THESE MAN FOOL AND STOP PUTTING THE BLAME ON THE OTHER WOMEN AND GO TO THE REAL PROBLEM THE MEN WHO STARTED IT . BECAUSE EVERY WOMEN DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER WOMAN THAT YOUR MAN IS SEEING BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THOSE OTHER WOMAN WHO REALLY DIDN’T KNOW. LATER SHE CAME BACK AND TOLD ME SHE WAS SORRY FOR BLAME ME FOR THERE PROBLEM AND THAT MOST OF IT WAS BEFORE ME .

    The only reason I think a person can really trip is if the other woman was a friend or a family member. They have a duty to respect your relationship. The man or the cheater should always be to blame. They had a choice. If they really wanted to be with the other person they could’ve dropped the person they was with.

    I think most women fights or confront the others woman, because they have already forgiven the man, no matter what.

    Why do women jump the other woman and not the man??? Come on, you don’t do it because you can’t. unless you are one of those crazy women with a knife, you don’t even approach the man.

    like stated the relationship between the man and woman so my disgust and dishonor goes to him . the girl just another pawn in the game. ya dig. most stinking az men would tell their woman to get at the other girl but it is his insecurities that would lead him to do so instead of owning up to getn caught and not being that bright or truthful afterall . i giver it to my man if i suspect it let him know im on him and i carry on . nothing else to do child i do it all if the nigga wanna stray let him handle his scandle. holler back cuz it makes him wonder bcuz of how i dealt .

    I don’t see nothing wrong with getting them both! The only way I’ll leave that woman alone and I use the name woman lightly is if and only IF she never knew about me, we never crossed paths where she knew I was with that man, cuz otherwise, why as a woman would you mess with some1 u kn got a woman? I can’t stand those type of women that know he dealing with some1 but think they entitled to that man and think they s**t don’t stink..

    Otherwise, depending on how serious the relationship is…I’d cut that man’s dick off, chop it up and feed it to his ass and I am not above cutting a b***h!

    But luckily, I don’t do relationships like that cuz I move around a lot and am focusing on school so I don’t have to worry about those situations. I don’t do drama well!

    If he did it once there is a chance he will do it again. What woman wants to stay in a relationship where she can not trust a man and his every move? I say you move on. Unless the other woman knew about you. The man is the only person you should confront. Period.

    God says “A man can have as many wives as he wants but a wife can only have one husband”. So what constitutes a marrage? God says “when a man and a woman eat meat together they are married” Read the bible people, it’s in there.
    Only a black woman will stand and argue with God.

    A note to the other woman…if he does it with you he will do it to you. So just remember the pain that you and the man put the wife or girlfriend through because it will come back around just for you.

    I think it’s because of the concept of sisterhood and quite frankly, black women have developed the mindset that it’s expected that a (black) man will cheat. Going back to the concept of sisterhood amongst black women, I have to say that black women do have a fellowship amongst one another. What does destroy that is if a friend is sleeping with their friend’s man. Before that, black women bond with one another and have each other’s backs so when your man and your friend are creeping with each other, as a black woman you feel betrayed by your friend.

    I understand the victim getting mad at the other woman when she knew the guy already had girlfriend. You can’t get mad at her if she didn’t know, especially if the guy lied and said he was single. It’s not her fault dude wasn’t claiming his woman. She’s trying to find love her damn self. The same thing goes for us men. I hate seeing dudes getting mad and trying to fight the other guy. Unless she was cheating on you with your homeboy or relative. I just don’t see why people always get mad at the other person so much. Maybe it’s the thought of knowing that person was making love to your partner. Yes we people are selfish, we don’t want anyone touching the person we’re with. If that’s the case, confront your lover for being unfaithful. Not the other person, they were just doing something your lover wanted them to do.

    Sometimes when the “other woman” knows he has someone at home, she still doesn’t want to end the relationship. She is getting what she wants/needs from him that is satisfying to her, and vice-versa, maybe to her they have something special, regardless if she knows that they may never have a future together. The woman at home should sometimes sit back and ask herself “am I being all that I need to be to my husband/man?” So when the wife/girlfriend finds out about the affair, she gets upset and wants revenge, when she should have been doing what she needed to do in the first place. Its not the other woman’s fault all the time. Wives take care of your husbands needs because trust me, if you don’t he will find someone who will, and I am not just talking about sexually, i mean emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

    I’ve been in that situation as the woman being cheated on and let’s just say it’s not a fun thing … I did not confront the other woman persay, but I did show up at her house just to learn that he was there with my newborn! Well, let me say, I was just torn up! To say the least … No worse feeling to see the man you thought was with you laying in another woman’s bed with your newborn baby, now that’s some mess for you … One thing I learned from that long drug out experience is that no matter what, if you confront the other woman or speak to the other woman, she is believing, at that point everything he has told her about you … Believe it! He has been giving her the low down on “your not so good” relationship (well that’s what he’s been telling her) believe that…LOL. The man usually seeks to cast an overshadow over the main lady, making it appear that she is the bad one … He does this so that the other woman will view him as the injured party … This is a plan that will ensure he is looked at as a saint in the other woman’s eyes … And only God knows exactly what he has told this other woman! Sad I know, but this is what happens … Remember that if you met this man and he was in a relationship and he cheated on his woman to get with you, he is a cheater and he will cheat on you … Some men are just cheaters and that is what they’ll be until the day they die … No changing him, so do not try … You can not turn a w***emonger into a husband/ideal mate. Just realize that you cannot change others, and learn from your experiences rather than beat yourself up over failed relationships nine times out of ten, he wasn’t meant for you in the first place! Much love all :)
