Signs You're The Other Woman

 

 1) You’ve Never Been To His House

This is undoubtedly the biggest red flag an unfaithful partner can wave at his other lovers, and one that far too many women are willing to ignore. If you haven’t seen a man’s house after a few weeks of dating, something ain’t right. It may just be a disgusting bachelor pad…or he may have some pads in under the sink. See what I did there? Anyway, there’s no real excuse for a man hiding his home from you and if he keeps giving them to you, he might be hiding something else: you.

2) You Don’t Know His Loved Ones
The “other woman” may get to hang out with some of a man’s homeboys, but she probably won’t get introduced to his whole crew (especially not his female friends) or his parents. Friends who may be loyal to his girlfriend or are known for being gossipy won’t get the introduction either.  And if you have met family, you were not granted a formal introduction (i.e. running into his sister at a party or being at his house when his cousins drop by). Not knowing the key players in his life after a few weeks= normal. Not knowing them after 8 months= um…yeah.

3) He Doesn’t See You During Normal Business Hours
You might not be simply relegated to after-the-club booty calls, but if you’re the side girl, you don’t have an all access pass either. Unless his girlfriend/wife is out of town, you probably wont get the marathon Saturday night dinner through Sunday brunch date. You can’t count on Friday being ‘boo time’.  You can’t spring things on him last minute and he’s always got to check his schedule and move things around before he agrees to set a time to do anything with you aside from coming by for some action.

4)…Nor On Special Occasions
You coulda swore he mentioned that he always does it real big for his birthday, but when it rolled around, he told you he decided to keep it low-key this year and spend the evening with his parents. You know, the ones you ain’t met. Superbowl Sunday? Party with the guys. No girls allowed. Valentine’s Day? He’s gotta work, but y’all can do something to make up for it on the 16th, if that’s cool with you. You might get something special going for YOUR birthday, but that’s because it’s off his people’s radar.

5) You Can’t Be Online Friends
He told you he didn’t have a Facebook page. You searched and how ’bout he got a Facebook page? Whomp.  And you don’t worry about tagging him in any pictures, because he acts like your camera phone might steal his soul every time you so  much as look like you might snap his pic. Besides, he said he doesn’t go on there that much and he’s gonna delete it.  But every time you check, his profile picture has changed. Oh, and he has a private Twitter page and would rather you didn’t follow each other on there.
