Its in the media all the time that some woman broke up a man’s relationship. She is labeled a “Homewrecker” while he generally is let off the hook because he “is a man who couldn’t help himself”. I don’t and will not understand why the woman is the only one that gets blamed.
Yes the woman is a little to blame because she did partake in the events that occurred, but does the Wife/Partner not see that the man made the choice to cheat. He was the married/committed and chose to step outside of that and be with someone else.
Women blaming women is not what we should be doing. I understand that hurt and anger come when you are cheated on, but we must remember that it is not our fault nor is it really the other persons fault. It is the man who chose to cheats fault. He should be the one who gets the label of homewrecker!
