WHAT on earth is wrong with these women who go after men who are already in committed relationships? Women who work overtime chasing other women’s men like starving hyenas? These women are every good girl’s nightmare.

Doesn't the home wrecker just anger you? She sees you and your man are happy, in love, holding each other down, and she somehow just feels compelled to try to come between you. She tries various tactics to get your man’s attention — she's his "friend”, worse she poses as your friend, even worse, she’s a disrespectful flirt. She sends sexy pictures or messages to his phone, or keeps calling even though he's asked her to stop.

Ever had a woman blatantly attempt to flirt with your man right in front of your face? "Oh my gosh Paul, how old do I look, don't I look so young? Aren't I beautiful for my age?"

I honestly actually feel sorry for these types of women. Honestly I do. These types of women are starving for attention and validation. Although their self-esteem appears extremely inflated, it’s actually incredibly low.

They go after your man because:

1. If they can have a man like that it makes them feel good about themselves.

2. If they can succeed in taking your man, it makes them feel like they are better than you, and you are probably somebody they envy very much.

If your man listens to the snake, bites the apple, and cheats on you with one of these women, then he's probably not worthy of your love, so let him go on his merry way with her. Because what kind of woman is willing to be some man’s woman on the side? What kind of man is willing to listen to a snake?

Keep in mind that there are also women who are just so morally repugnant and "bad mind" that they will try to break up your relationship out of pure evil. People say it’s hard to be single, but it’s also hard to be in a relationship with all the demons lurking about. This is why trust is so important in every relationship.

Note that home wreckers are here to stay, so keep your doors locked. And if you are a home wrecker and love the chase, sign up for a 5k, find an exciting hobby instead! Hunt something else other than another woman’s man.
