What do you think is the psychology of a married man and a single woman having an affair?
The psychology behind it is that the married man is the winner of the relationship. He basically is “having his cake and eating it too”. I guess it depends on what expectations each person in the relationship has. There are many pros and cons to the situation. For example: A single woman might benefit from dating a married man financially and has a lot more freedom than a woman in a traditional relationship. She gets the man whenever he is away from his wife and probably gets the fun guy that he used to be before he “jumped the broom”. On the other hand, the guy gets variety of having a different bedmate. He probably does more varied things with the mistress that he no longer does with his wife. The only advice I could give to a woman in the sitch is don’t expect him to leave his wife (even if he tells you that he is going to divorce her, chances are that it probably won’t happen) and to enjoy the perks of having a no strings attached relationship w/ benefits.
