40+ People Who’ve Been the “Other” Person in an Affair Are Revealing if They Knew and Why They Did It

Probably one of the worst feelings in the world is being betrayed by a lover. Although many people hear about those who have been cheated on, individuals who are referred to as "the other person" are rarely given the opportunity to share their experiences. In some circumstances, those are the people who most deserve to be heard. Being the "other person" isn't always as straightforward as we would want it to be.

This woman tells us the story of how she and her partner had such a powerful and intense chemistry that apparently isn't found very frequently.

We're not sure if this is a happy ending or not!

This story has a real twist to it. Imagine someone in the bridal party going after the bride or groom... Sounds like an extract from My Best Friend's Wedding, right?

Instead, she got messed around by the man who told her how he was going to leave his wife for her. But do we feel bad? Not really!
