Most of my callers were women complaining about their income source, their husband or boyfriend, while working on securing a new one who was still married or already in a committed relationship. They would tell me their man did not live up to the fantasy in their head. I would tell them every time there are two men in their lives, one they want to bring in, the other they want to push out. I could tell them this before they even spoke. They were that predictable.
Day after day it was a conveyor belt of women spilling the things they could not tell their clergy, friends, family, or even their psychiatrists. No wonder I pegged them before they said a word.
They never saw their actions as cheating. I would point out how hard they were working to get a married man to commit to them, a man who was already committed to someone else. I even praised their effort, telling them they were going above and beyond what they would ever do for that man if they already had him, just to pry him away from the woman he was with.
They were always frustrated that their effort did not pay off. They were chained to a man they hated, while chasing another man already spoken for, and both dependencies fed each other. They refused to let go of the first until the second was locked in place. They walked a tightrope, holding one in place while seducing the other, never risking a jump until the new branch could hold their full weight.
This is monkey branching in its purest form.
