Letter of Mistress to a Wife

This is the letter of my husband's mistress to me.

I could tell you about how much I Jake and try to justify what I did to you but we both know that I can never say anything that would justify what I did or make you feel better.

I’m a woman too and once in my past I have been cheated on so I do have an idea how you feel.

 Here are the facts. I didn’t think about you when I first met Jake and I do know he’s married. At that time, I knew one thing, that I was attracted to him. I didn’t think about the consequences, I didn’t think about the future, I just wanted to think about the present and that time, I wanted him. 

I didn’t act on it though right away. I honestly don’t remember who made the first move but I tried to hold back because I knew he was married but seeing him everyday at work didn’t make it easier. I will not go through my other efforts to avoid taking what we had to the next level  because none of those worked and it doesn’t matter now. 

Oddly enough, the very first time I thought of you was when I realized I was not simply attracted to him but in love with him. I thought of you because it was now beyond the “want”. I didn’t want him because I was attracted to him but because I love him and I knew I had to have him. 

Yes, I did everything I could to outdo you. I had all the disadvantages. You are, after all, the woman he married. Every time I learned of something he wanted to do but couldn’t do with you, I jumped on the opportunity. Every time he tells me things about you, I listen closely. I imitated the things about you that he likes, did the opposite of the things he didn’t like about you. 

I never complained, never demanded, never nagged, never asked questions… I gave everything I had. I made sure I am pretty everyday. I made sure I was the perfect mistress. 

And that’s how I stole him from you. 

I know it was selfish but that is how I am about him. I am selfish about him. I want him for me. I don’t care about what other people will say and already said, all I care about was having him. 

That is the whole truth because I know I owe you that much. 

There is also something else I want to offer and I hope you know that this is true too. 

My apologies… for whatever it is worth, I am sorry. 

I fell in love… so selfishly in love.
