Sweetheart Stealing
Have you ever been in love with someone else’s lover? Have you tried to lure him/her away from their boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, or spouse? This is much more common than we all realize. The famous 80’s song by Rick Springfield “Jesse’s Girl”, tells the story well, longing for your friend’s girl, wondering what he has that you don’t.
The International Sexuality Description Project was conducted in 53 countries. The psychologists polled 16,000 individuals in an attempt to understand this behavior. Psychologists call this behavior “mate poaching” and it is common across all countries and cultures. In fact, 20% of all long-term relationships started out this way.
This isn’t just about a short-term fling. You can seriously fall in love with another man’s wife. What do you do if this is the case? Do you tell the woman or do you respect the bounds of matrimony?
I think that the respectful thing to do would be to wait. If she is unhappily married, she will leave him eventually. The thing is, 62% of men and 40% of women say that they have attempted to lure away someone else’s partner.
What is your opinion on this? Do you think that it is okay to “steal someones sweetheart“? Does the end justify the means? Let me know what you think.

Great article, and Blog! I found you doing some research and looking for some very good blogs that are dealing with relationships and marriage, but especially all the aspects of divorce… Because, I believe that it has and will always be a factor of communication that is the key to any good relationship and that the lack of it, is where the trouble starts for every marriage… Whether it be money, alcohol and drugs, adutlery, pornography or and abuse in every form of mental, spiritual, and yes physical will all lead back to one thing, and that is no real communication… Keep up the good work on all of our behalf’s. Thank you, Howard M.

Hi Howard,
Thanks for stopping by and for the comment.
I heard on the news a year or so ago about a study showing that the couples who spent the most time together rated their marriage as the most fulfilling. Of course you never know which came first–happiness or time together.

No, you should never steal another man’s wife, it is a sin. Having said that, I will admit that I am in love with another man’s wife. So you may ask, “what do you intend to do about it?” I intend to bottle up my feelings for her deep inside my soul and quietly suffer.
