Last year, I wrote a post titled, Silly and Dangerous Characters You May Encounter While Dating. The very top of the list was married spouses seeking “love” elsewhere. Either because they are upset with home life, they just argued with their spouse, or they want something different.

I’m a wife. Not a side chick and never had side chick issues, so forgive me. I am not speaking from personal experience, only stats and observations.

Please chime in with your truths so all can learn together.

This is not an article where I will be bashing. I will be honest with my thoughts. That is all.

How side chicks are created

I read a really intriguing book several years back called Hitts & Mrs. In the story, an older man falls for a younger woman. They never have sex(if I remember correctly), but while he was going through problems with his wife, he sought emotional comfort and conversation from the young woman to the point where he did want to “go there” sexually with her.

Now, before I myself was married, I thought, “Hmmm what a lovely story. He just needed an outlet.”
