What percentage of your break-ups over the years involved another woman? That you knew about or found out about later. You can estimate.

My two long term relationships (high school boyfriend and soon to be ex-dh) both involved other women.

The same as Jodi... My longterm relationship in highschool(almost 4 years) and my previous marriage (3 years) both ended this way...

Shoot. I was hoping this would be an uplifting thread that would prove the other woman scenario was rare. :(

Sorry :(
My last break up was because we were better off as friends if that counts but we were only together about 6 mths... he did admit to sleeping with his exwife while we were together though but it didn't bother that bad since we were already broken up for other reasons. We are still good friends and I get along well with his wife(we have a myspace relationship lol)I am good friends with my exDH too and his new wife

As far as I know, it's only happened once to me. If you ask my ex he will deny it to his grave though.

just one that I know of :yes

At least 85% of them, how sad is that?

No joke....all of them... but then again I haven't been in many relationships.....hmm wonder why... the most heartbreaking though is that my marriage is ending because of other women..yes plural.....

my marriage!

2. My first Fiance......and my Ex Husband.

all of my previous relationships.....only the one I am currently in has never had that problem

2 of mine have ended that way

As far as I know.. Bagel. 0. LOL


*knocks on wood*

Only one of them. He was my highschool boyfriend of 3 years & by that time we had known each other for 9 years.

You know, I wonder now if it's really "the other woman" or were there also circumstances surrounding the relationship that were bad or not being resolved and the other woman was a simultaneous symptom of the problem(s). I think sometimes men answer the unresolved issues in a relationship by simply trading out the problems they have with one woman by moving along to another.

50% of them. I have only been in two serious relationships. The one I'm in now and my ex who cheated on me.

:agree

But dont they realize that complicates the situation even more?? I read an article that said that you should try to resolve the issues in your past relationship because you will take all of those issues on to your NEXT relationship.

The percentage of my relationships that involved another girl was 50% of my relationships... considering i have had 3 serious relationships. lol.

None, as far as I know.

:hugs
