If you snatch one away you are getting one that can be snatched away. If you're the straw that breaks the camel's back of a failing relationship, ok, but otherwise I would not do it.

I agree with Loren (a rare occurrance

).

If someone is going to cheat to be with me, then I don't want them.

And I tend to think of people who are always trying to seduce new partners away from someone else as having little self-esteem. They boost their egos' that way - the "I'm better than him/her because I can take their partner away from them" thing. I don't need to do that to affirm my sexual prowess or desirability. Nor do I want to.

And if someone is cheating on me they will be quickly forgotten. I don't get jealous or anything, I just find that all of a sudden I don't like the person anymore. I'll be hurt, of course, but I will walk away. I value honesty too much.

No, to the best of my knowledge, I've never done it. In fact, I would never do it. If they're with someone, they obviously want to be with them, and who am I to say they *should* be with me, instead? Indeed, without a very good reason, I would never advise someone to break up with their bf/gf at all, and then, I'd make sure I wasn't exaggerating it in my mind because I wanted to be with her.
I think it's a crappy thing to do, and you'll end up with people whom others can do the same thing to you. In fact, if I found out that someone ended a relationship to be with me, I would feel very bad about it, unless the ex- was scum, who should've been dumped long ago.
My advice: be patient, or meet more people (or both). Who knows? You might meet someone (okay, so that's a bit ironic coming from me, as I never socialize, but I do recognize that it is good advice), or one of the girls you like might become available at a later date.

I never broke up a relationship, but I was "the other girl" several times when I was a teen. I hate to think of that now that I am married 12 years...but it happened. So yes and no in answer to your question.

Paintballislife · 07-05-2003, 03:25 PM

well when the girl would be much better off with someone who has a job, and doesnt start a fight with her everytime they get together or tlak on the phone. who doesnt put her down, and who has patience when she cant decide what she wants at a restraunt which shes never taken to cause her boys a dick and cheap.

Quite recently i seem to have snatched someone, who knew? Being as this is me, the perpetualy unattached never really looking sort, i had no concept that i was even capable of the snatching phenomena at all. A good friend of mine was dating a guy who was in her words "more than a bit dull and somewhat uncarring" and wasnt too happy with this. The even that really broke this all open involved her being rather depressed over some unrelated issues and seeking support. I am quite familier with depression, suffering from a mild to medium form of it myself, and she turned to me for the support she needed at that time. Well apparently more helpfull and supportive than i had thought. She went off and decided to break the whole thing off with Mr. Dull Uncarring and attached herself to me. This is very strange as far as i am concerned and i swear i did not try to do this at all, yet here i am, with an unofficial and off the record (these being my terms for it) relationship with her. I am now her support system/human teddy bear. I have to say, i get far more hugs than i thought was humanly possible.

I do! I do! (I *did* start a thread about that particularly facet of addiction, didn't I? I don't remember).

ANYway...

I've never actually done it, but looking back with 20/20 hindsight, there were a couple times when I could have. And I just kick myself over it.

What gives you the 'right' to snatch away someone's girl/boyfriend? If they are happy in their relationship what business is it of yours?
