ALL WOMAN : What it’s really like being the other woman?

 
Monday, June 29, 2015 , Jamaica Observer
WE all have a perception of what she might be like — slimmer, prettier, exquisite, the devil's spawn, overly sexed, or a predator waiting for her kill — that other woman who manages to attract our spouse's attention. No woman wants to know that she is part of the equation, but while she is usually ostracised, no doubt she is fascinating.

Below we take a glimpse into the life of the other woman, as she confesses what it's really like being the one in the shadows.

Brittany G:
It's a bittersweet feeling. The thrill of knowing he shares his time equally with you is the sweet part, but what's bitter is knowing he will never leave the long-term woman for you. Apart from tossing between those two extremes, you live in denial, but you know deep down that you have done nothing but settle for not only second, but possibly fifth best. It's like you're this gem being kept buried because the owner does not know your worth and is ashamed of you. Eventually you begin to feel worthless too.
Rayanna H:
It's difficult to describe but from having done that once, it's not a good feeling. You'll never be treated as you should be. I'm a Christian now and Proverbs 31 says, 'Who can find a virtuous woman for her price is far above rubies', and playing the other woman your price is nowhere near rubies — probably stainless steel. The point is, you are not valued, you can't ask to be respected, because quite frankly you are a homewrecker. So it's a life of second-class love and disrespect.
Tonya R:
Demeaning. You will always be second, even though you believe you deserve to be first. As the other woman we often have messed-up ideas that he will leave his wife and live with us or remarry and we'll be the bride. But it makes no sense believing that. Men who are married aren't going to leave their wives for you and I learnt that the hard way. I was in a relationship, got involved with a married man, and played number two to him and number one to my boyfriend. You can't serve two masters and because the married man was more established I started to appreciate him over my boyfriend and started ignoring my boyfriend. Reality hit when the married man told me his wife knew and he no longer wished to continue the affair. By that time my boyfriend and I were through and I was left with my tail between my legs looking dumb and stupid. more

MATH PUZZLE : Here's The Answer To That Fruit Math Puzzle That's Driving Everyone Coconuts.... What's half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas? Is the answer 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20. Go to www.RulaBrownNetwork.com for the correct answer.

 02/18/2016 02:01 am ET It's one of those Facebook posts that's all over the place, and -- like " the dress " or the  hidden panda  -- everyone seems to have a different take on it.  What is half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas?  On the surface, it would seem the apple has a value of 10, the bananas a value of four and the coconut a value of two. And if that were the end of the story, the answer would be 2 + 10 + 4 = 16.  But in the final frame, the fruit are slightly different.  There is half a coconut, instead of two halves in the earlier example equation that establishes a value of two. And instead of the four bananas representing the value of four, there are just three bananas.  If the numbers are reduced along with the portions of fruit, you get a totally different answer: 1 + 10 + 3 = 14.   Which is the correct answer? Like the dress, the answer is in how you see it.... See Rula Brown'...
