    Honestly, I got so close to becoming the side chick in high school. I would always flirt with this girl's boyfriend; he and I even went on a date behind her back. But then I saw the look on her face when she saw us together; she looked like she was about to cry. That's when I cut it off with him. I couldn't believe that I had hurt someone so badly and deeply.

    When I was in college I was in love with this guy. He would message me to “come over and hang out” but he had a girlfriend back home so as much as I wanted to, I declined knowing his heart would never fully be mine and I had enough decency to not do that to his girlfriend. Fast forward 5 years later he’s married to her with their second child on the way.

    This man lacks integrity and it looks like we women are the true leaders in relationships, this is proof. Men are the weaker link when it comes to temptation so good for you 👏🏼 but this is also to point out how men need to step it up! Babysitting their d!ck should not be an added burden to have to endure for both women involved in this scenario😂🎉❤

    I wish all women would have more pride and dont slip into the side chick /pick me chick role. We always fear to lose our men to other women - why? Because there are ALWAYS women, who flirt with guys who are taken and they KNOW it. But they do it anyway. Imagine a world where we women finally stop rivalising (so damn much) and treat ourself like sisters. REAL sisters. If a men is taken - you should stop interacting with him. But there are SO many women out there with no self esteem but a big ass ego and just want to be stupid. I think men are much wiser in this topic.

    However, real sisterhood is not only about blaming the girls for the flirting. It's the man who have girlfriends who should be held accountable. For allowing them to do it in the first place. They could easily put a stop to it right from the jump.

    So in my experience (using vocabulary from your previous video), a man flirts with 'the hottie' and makes her his side chick while he dates a Meredith , whom he cannot (read: will not) leave because ..she is ..well...comforting. So hottie has to put up with stories about how terrible Meredith is when in reality, the man is just enjoying 2 women.

    Cheating partners like this are a dime-a-dozen. I have been on both sides. When I was younger and unsure of myself I was targeted as the side chick by taken or married men. My advice, Pass them on by, who cares how physically hot they are. The emotional damage is real. Then in later relationships I became the doting, devoted gf that got cheated on. For those side chicks out there who are knowingly being one, it really does hurt your self-esteem in the long run and it can waste your time, and if he stays with her and she finds out, you are demonized. If the relationship does become something, it’s usually a constant struggle with woe about him cheating again and again. Getting to know someone for awhile and not have them push you into intimacy, is key. Just wait it out. You’ll be less attached if there is bad news.

    I only disagree with the part that the wife/girlfriend isn't what he presents her to be because if she really was, he'd left her by now. No, a big resounding no. Because in my experience and observations men who do that are nothing but cowards. Yes, they fight with the wife/gf and yes she is bitchy and stupid and every single thing he says she is. He doesn't leave her, because she is the comfort zone. He has someone to keep the house, look after the children, cook and clean, and make sure everything is tidy when he comes back and that is comfort. No man likes to feel discomfort. And subconsciously, he knows he is not going to step out of his comfort zone for you, because he doesn't know if you will deliver or not. Thrust me, men who cheat are cowards. Nothing more, they are not that smart, they are that pathetic.

After watching this video, I blocked him. I’m gonna work on bettering myself and realizing my self-worth. I deserve better.

    I LOVE this video. Couldn’t have come at a better time. I met a guy earlier this year. He was always so hot/cold. He stood me up twice& I just left him alone for about 6 mo. Blocked him & deleted my SC. When I finally got my SC back, he was leaving these emojis 😍 on my pics&asking where I’ve been. He goes on to say he reached out to me many times&I just shut him out. Then I find out he has a gf, yet he still wants to “hang out “ . He always says I’m still sexy& how he’s still attracted to me, etc.... I definitely don’t want him. Especially seeing this is how he acts in relationships. The same thing he’s doing to his gf, he’ll do to me. .... I’m definitely permanently cutting off all contact with him. This back & forth half way cheating stuff is a waste of time. Thanks for this video sweetie

    Thank you for this. Goooooood I had the weirdest interaction tonight. I’m very attracted to someone on my staff. He’s obviously attracted to me and says all sorts of stuff to flirt with me. There’s also no secret he has a girlfriend. Sometimes I say coy things back to him. I definitely must be insecure or something because I like his attention but I know it’s bad news and try to pretend like I’m unfazed and don’t have feelings. It has to be so obvious. Tonight he told me he liked me. I kinda called him out on it. Mentioning that it’d be better if he didn’t like me. I told him that it’d be better if he didn’t because then he wouldn’t flirt with me. He said something about it not being that serious. I don’t know about him, but I’m trying to break out of my bad habits and bullshit ways. I didn’t try to make him feel bad, but I had to be straight even if it was uncomfortable. I have crossed boundaries before and deeply regretted it. It’s not worth it to break things because of the heat in the moment. I have been someone who has followed their lower nature and regretted it. It was so hard to be strong today but I did it. I hope that somehow I can continue to stay strong and get in my head the mentality of being the whole package and not just somebody’s toy. I am not a toy. You saying the comment about being someone’s toy really stuck out to me. I want to be a wife and a mother one day. I’ll take an awkward interaction like tonight with him for a stronger me, someone who is prioritized and guarded in a relationship. Not a toy. I am the prize. Looked for this video and so glad I found it. Thank you for your always brutal honesty sister frand.

    Its a bummer because the guy is my manager at a job i actually really like. He waited 2 months to tell me he had a girlfriend. All the while flirting mercilessly. AND I work with her at my other job. He had so many opportunities that would have been natural to tell me. He praises me and makes me feel so special. My past has shown me that he's likely love bombing me. When I confront him he changes the subject or dismisses the issue. Red flags all over! He keeps pushing the boundaries and I feel so awful for not shutting it down right away. I was looking for the perfect video to explain the situation better while also seeking personal accountability . . . This is it . . THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!
