Women who get off on stealing boyfriends/husbands

What's at the bottom of that, psychologically? Have you known guys to do the same thing?

My own sister is somewhat an offender... definitely enjoys being giggly and attention seeking around the husbands of her friend group, especially when the women aren't around. It makes her giddy.

Thankfully he's older now and is not as dashing, but he reveled in the many partnerships he broke up.

I had a neighbor like that. She slept with many neighbors. An affair would usually last a few months before the man would break it off because his wife was suspecting something or he felt guilty. She was even friends with some of these men's wives. The women would confide personal information about their husbands, and she'd use that info to get the women's husbands in bed. During the affair, she continued being friends with the wife. She seemed to relish the fact she was cheating with her friend's husband.

She was married herself, but her husband didn't seem to know about her activities.

It was a weird pathological thing. Her parents seemed nice and down to earth, and her sister was normal too. She didn't seem to have any past experiences of bullying.

I went to college with this trashy bitch in Houston who was pathological about fucking unavailable guys. She had a face like a mud gate fence and delighted in stealing good looking men from much more attractive and physically fit women than her. Glad I dropped that trash as a friend.

My theory is that it's about stealing other people's happiness. These people see a happy couple, feel envy, break up the couple, and feel temporarily happy, smug, and powerful. But it doesn't last, because the snatcher doesn't actually like the person they've acquired.

What's pathological about is the desire to ruin the happiness of others, and repeating the scenario even though it resulted in nothing but temporary happiness. It may be the feeling of power they're really after, some people will do anything for a feeling of power, however temporary.

I've known three women who said that they specifically wanted a guy who had been "vetted" (one said "his wife already took him for a test drive and he passed"). They also said "if the marriage is strong then I wouldn't have been able to break them up" and it didn't seem to occur to them that these two thoughts were contradictory.

Yes, your new man has been vetted... and shown to be a cheater without loyalty or sense of responsibility.

The only one I halfway still know is my boyfriend's mom. She's now in her late 70s, still has the younger man she stole from his wife and baby, but is now sick because she had major back surgery but didn't tell her doctor she was addicted to some prescription medication (honestly don't know what) and massive infection set in during recovery. Her 50-something husband has no time in his day to take care of an old woman who is now wheelchair bound, and I'm pretty sure he tried to burn down the house with her in it about four years ago.

I think it’s just sport or power for some people. They view it as somehow ‘winning’. What’s sad is many aren’t content with their won quarry, and they quickly move on after leaving a wake of destruction. They are addicted more to the hunt.

by Anonymousreply 25January 27, 2023 9:53 AM

Some women have to take their cues as to what they want by watching other people decide what they want. Watch in any shop, in any grocery store, in any outdoor market, and especially any antiques fair or crafts market or farmers' market. There will be women milling about singly as though they might spend spend the whole fucking day just in the root vegetables department. Then the self-satifisfied look drops and they become consumed with finding the perfect purchase. "What to buy? What to buy? I know what I'll do, I'll follow that guy who looks like he knows what he wants and when he sets something down, I'll pick it up and buy it...but wait, he's looking at something else now. Should I buy that one instead?"

Gay men can be as bad. I had a friend whose taste in men was very different than mine, but he tried to fuck every man I fucked. His pleasure wasn't in the fucking, it was in telling me he had fucked someone I had fucked. Again and again. Somehow it made him feel he had achieved something. And I think each of his boyfriend's was "stolen" from one of his friends. He only wanted any of them after he say that someone else wanted them first.

It's validation for someone who feels worthless inside. They don't believe in themselves so they get validation from someone who is willing to "risk it all" to be with him. The thinking is, "I must really be something if this man is willing to throw away his life and family for me..." Even if they don't believe it themselves. So it's an exercise in power to prove to themselves that they have value in the world. Most of the time they don't want the person, just the knowledge as Jolene had of knowing you CAN do it. Ignoring them drives them crazy and makes them more aggressive in their attempts because they feel you can see what they actually think about themselves - that they empty and soulless. And that by somehow changing your mind and "winning you" negates that truth.

If your boyfriend/husband can be stolen, then he wasn't yours to begin with. It annoys me when people blame the other person. That other person doesn't owe you and your relationship anything.

by Anonymousreply 33January 27, 2023 12:22 PM

I have known gay guys who do the same. And what happens is they eventually reject the guy they stole away, for being unfaithful. So each party gets what they deserve. The caisse couple (the homewecker) KNOWS the guy being stolen is an unfaithful person. Then the wife break and the unfaithful guy throw care to the wind, ignoring that they are the worst makings for a new couple. It can even last many years but then rinse repeat of the original situation.

Its probably not a big deal because most gay relationships don't last forever and certainly not for these types. In the meantime, they get what they want and needfor a few months or a few years.

By the way two of the gay guys who are home wreckers - their straight moms were the same. And the unfaithful gay guy in couples, their straight fathers were the same - always married with a side piece - mistress.

A lot of times people act this way even when the person doesn't take the bait R33. It doesn't always end in a conquest. Yet you have people routinely throwing themselves at unavailable people. I think that is really what the OP is referring to.

And, BTW, I think this is the psychology of anyone who goes after someone unavailable, as I stated in r30. It's the same when Gay men go after Straight men, when people go after someone who is married, or just generally not interested in them. It is not that his straightness makes him hot. It's the idea that I am powerful enough to get someone to do something they otherwise would not have done. It has more to do with what the person lacks inside than any care for what the other person is willing to do.

I had 2 friends who tried that. One was my best friend and that hurt so much. We did reconnect a few years later and I asked her why she did it. She said she was jealous for various reasons. I did forgive her and we're still friends.

by Anonymousreply 38January 27, 2023 3:37 PM

I casually knew a guy at uni and introduced him to a friend. Very soon after, the friend is telling me they're together and raving about him? Our talk then went something like this:

Me: Who? Oh, that guy I introduced you to last week outside ____?

Friend: I thought you guys were dating! [First red flag but I didn't ask why he was dating him if he thought I already was, I was a bit shocked]

Me: I've only spoken to him twice before

Friend: YOU guys aren't an item?

Me: No, hardly know the guy, he just comes up and talks to me. Not my type.

The guy was dumped almost immediately. Second red flag.

Same friend was always trying to get into my pants. When I let him hold my hand as we walked into a gay club (he begged, said everyone would think we were together), that soon stopped. Turned out he only wanted people to think we were sleeping together. I've always felt grateful he wasn't my type. Can imagine he put quite a few men through the wringer. And some women too. Identified as bi.

He'd told me that when younger (16 or so) was sleeping with an older married guy, then fell in love with the woman in the couple (after seeking her out). Had become a messy situation.

Drifted apart. Other people have said so-called friend had been diagnosed with BPD. Very intelligent, well-read, well-travelled, good-looking but definitely attention seeking to an inappropriate degree in public and private. Had some great qualities but clearly messed up. Also suffered severe depression at times but refused to see a dr, take meds, get counselling. A lot of catholic issues from strict, religious parents. Had been involved with his own uncle before turning 16. Thinking on it now, it would be a surprise if it turned out the uncle hadn't had a partner of some sort when they were sleeping together.

According to traditional psychological theory, straight women (and gay men) bond first with their mothers, but then are attracted to their fathers. They are jealous of their mother and compete with her for their father’s attention. They can go through life repeating that pattern in adult relationships. On some level, they’re always trying to get back at mommy.

As others have said, it's often the mark of a disordered personality. Elizabeth Gilbert summed up how easy it is in her infamous "Confessions of a Seduction Addict" piece:

[quote]If the man was already involved in a committed relationship, I knew that I didn’t need to be prettier or better than his existing girlfriend; I just needed to be different. (The novel doesn’t always win out over the familiar, mind you, but it often does.) The trick was to study the other woman and to become her opposite, thereby positioning myself to this man as a sparkling alternative to his regular life.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel, which is why it's almost morbidly pathetic, especially if the perpetrator never grows out of it.

R25 Lotsa truth to that but occasionally there's a happy ending.

Forty years ago a friend (or so I thought) of ours made a play for my then-boyfriend and bedded him. Unfortunately for them, the "friend" had the clap and shared it - something I knew maybe half an hour after they did. How did I know so quickly? Because I saw them walking out of the local STD clinic together as I drove by the hospital that Wednesday afternoon. It's not a good look, but neither the clap nor the fucking around pissed me off as much as knowing I'd welcomed the POS in my house and he'd eaten my food, drank my booze, smoked my pot and fucked my boyfriend who I wasn't very fond of at that point, either.

We broke up: I was devastated or so I thought, said "Fuck it," and went to NYC that weekend. The devastation didn't last. I met a guy that Saturday night who's now my husband. I was single for a grand total of three days. The sleazeball(s) didn't stay together more than a month or so: my replacement moved on to the next guy a couple of weeks later. My ex didn't find anyone to replace me or him for five years.

Exactly. You offer the married man something different than what he's getting from his wife.

It's the 80/20 rule in action. The wife gives the man 80% of what he wants. The man eventually takes that 80% for granted, not appreciating that the 80% is coming from the wife.

Side woman shows up with 20% and man thinks she's 100% (because he has taken for granted that he's already getting 80% from his wife).

Straight men frequently affair down, so to speak. The "other woman" is often overweight and/or less attractive than the wife.

But the other women knows that in order to keep the guy's attention, she has to go the extra mile in bed. That's really all she has to offer him. He is tied to his wife financially, familially, and socially, not sexually. The other woman takes advantage of this.
