If she knows he’s married, she holds some responsibility for her own involvement.
When a couple gets married, there are witnesses. The witnesses are there not just a spectators but in a supportive role. That’s why they ask if anybody knows why they shouldn’t be married, because it now becomes the witnesses role to support their marriage.
The whole reason we have to get a license to be married is because the state takes a vested interest in the stability of families and have a responsibility to ensure that.
As a society, we also used to find it morally unacceptable to involve oneself into somebody else’s marriage. If there are problems, those problems need to be worked out or they need to separate.
The other woman is enabling the man in avoiding his commitment. She, at the very least, is his accomplice. It takes two to tango.
It isn’t the other woman’s fault, other than she allowed a man to tell her half of a story and she believed it. She uses this story to justify what she knows is wrong, because otherwise most other women would never allow themselves to be with a married man. Somehow, knowing he’s unhappy, makes it feel somewhat ok.
