Etiquette for Mistresses
1. Mistress is not Mrs.
Know your Place, No. 2 is not No. 1, and never the twain shall meet. And they better not.
2. Even if he tells you he loves you more than his wife, don't let that get into your head.
3. Mistresses should be ready to give up Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Holy Week and his birthday.
4. Befriend his secretary but avoid all contact with his driver.
5. As tempting as it seems, don't patronize the wife's beauty parlor, jewelry shop, dress shop, or father confessor.
6. Don't call him, wait for him to call.
7. To be seen with him is public once is risky. The second time could be fatal to one of you. The third time is The End for both of you.
8. Never believe, and never say anything unfriendly about his wife, not even after he recites a litany of her faults.
Sooner or later, some mistresses feel so loved that they begin to think of the wife as the other woman.
9. Mistresses are kept by rich men. But a mistress who is a woman of substance and independent means is better. (Translation: Don't ask him for money.)
10. Be discreet. (Make sure he is not the type to talk in his sleep.)
11. Never travel together.
Accidents will always happen. A mistress who travels with a married man must be ready to face the consequences.
12. When he breaks a date, charge it to fate, not his fecklessness.
13. Wives have their own networks of spies and amigas. It is helpful for the mistress to have her own. A chaperon is not a good idea, however. (Chaperones are passe, besides, they talk.)
14. Mistresses don't complain.
They shouldn't. It's the wives, according to their husbands, who are "always complaining."
15. Being No. 2, the mistress tries harder.
16. Send him home as soon as it becomes apparent that he's overstaying.
17. It is practical for the mistress to be linked to another man, preferably her lover's friend.
In the age of the liberated woman, who needs a chaperone? Ah, maybe not, but she needs a beard.
18. If he's a public man and you're thinking of staging an accident of running into him, think: How many accidents can I pull off in one month?
Tis women nature to want to be loved and be seen as loved.
19. Don't make unnecessary enemies of his children.
20. Remind him to pay for everything in cash -- dinner, flowers, perfume, champagne, pearls, diamonds, a microwave oven, etc. IN GOD WE TRUST, BUT PAY CASH YOU MUST.
21. Don't use tears as a weapon. He's probably had enough of that from the Mrs.
Wives nag. Wives, cry. If only for that reason, a mistress doesn't use tears to get what she wants.
22. Resist the urge to be found out.
23. Perish all thought that someday you'll be No. 1.
24. Married men who keep mistresses don't like surprises, as a rule.
25. A man with a mistress leads a double life, his mistress only a half life. Cheer up! A career will make you whole.
26. Resist the urge to shower him with gifts. Evidence, evidence...!
27. When in doubt, disappear.
What happens
1. When you and he run into his wife?
2. When you run into him and his wife?
3. When the wife runs into him and you?
4. When you run into him and a woman not his wife?
Whether it is situation 1, 2 or 3, the answer is the same. You make yourself scarce. You disappear. Scram.
28. When all else fails, leave him.
Some mistresses make it; more do not.

May this serve as a guide for all you mistresses out there...
How funny that I have actually experienced some of the above mentioned incidents.
Pero hindi pa naman dumating sa point na, I get involve having an affair with a married man. Sometimes I wonder why do women get hooked with this kind of situation? And why do MOSTLY of the GUYS hindi maiwasan ang mang babae? Is it true that guys were really like that ever since?
Anyway for those having an affair with married person, I have a question:
Have you ever wish of having a relationship that you could call YOUR OWN?
"I'm so confused about love, sometimes it makes me happy, but other times it makes me ANGRY... sometimes it makes me chew my nails, and sometimes just plain worried! But most of the time I just feel loved."

Nice article, now I would like to buy the book for reading.
First of all, Its never an intention of a man to fall in love with a woman, in a wrong place and in a wrong time.. Love is simply love, there is no such thing as "maling pag-ibig". Love knows no boundaries..un nga lang wrong time, but the love that both of you have, its genuine.
Now tell me, is it wrong to fall in love "again" to the woman whom you though we're just a woman of your dream? what if ever since you lay your eyes on that woman, you already knew, deep inside your heart that it was "something". And that because of your situation there is no way that the two of you can end up together?? Then after a year, faith brought you together on a strange way. The second time you saw her, you tried everything, not to have her..but to at least talk to her and have a glimpse of her angelic smile??but then again, reality kicks in..so again, you let go....Again, couple of years after, faith plays with your heart..both of you again, met..through social network, but this time it was her who started everything..It was with her simple "hi"..Weeks after, after both of you had constant communication, that suppressed feeling inside of you started to come out??then it happened.. BOTH of you have mutual feeling..but she knows, from the start that you’re married, you also told her that "please don't fall.."..she tried to fight her feeling though, but its just to much to handle..then she decided to let go..I can tell you the whole story, but I'd rather not..simply because its still fresh..and it hurts.
See..its never our intention to hurt the people and person we loved and love..And also..please..dont ever think that we're just after sex. Also please dont think that its always women who ends up crying, even men have eyes that also cries. If woman thinks its hard for them being mistresses, its also hard for us men to have two women in our life, having the same level of love we can give. every time men are left alone, the thought of how to not hurt both of your women..its torturing..its killing us slowly, piece by piece..
can your "bestfriend" be your mistress especially if she went below the belt.
