Lotus_Luna Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I found this study insightful about being the OW. Many are dealing with anxiety, depression and feel alienated. Many are afraid to be honest with even their therapist due to the social taboo of affairs. If you are an OW, it might be nice to see you are not alone. https://psyct.psychopen.eu/article/view/167/html Link to post Share on other sites

Author Lotus_Luna Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Social taboos or shame and embarrassment? I believe and have seen studies that suggest it's the latter. Perhaps shame? But its interesting to see a pattern to how they cope with the stress of the relationship. I know many come here looking for a safe place to talk through their feelings.
