Some women choose to be deputy managers, valuing exclusivity over compromise, and here are five reasons, according to a woman named Bloom:
1. Comfort: Women, in general, might opt for supporting roles if they are comfortable with fewer requirements and their “boyfriend” spends most of his time with his main partner.
2. Security: If a man treats a woman well and fulfils her emotional needs, she may prefer not to share him with someone else, especially if she has a history of unhealthy or abusive relationships.
3. Financial Independence: Some women prioritise financial independence, and if a man can afford to support them, they may settle for being a secondary partner without issues with bills.
4. Sexual Pleasure:Sexual satisfaction is considered a bonus. If men provide satisfying sexual experiences, women might agree to be second choices in terms of sexual partners.
5. Commitment: Women may find themselves in these relationships before becoming aware of the other person’s existence. At that point, backing off might not be an option, and they continue with the arrangement until the main partner decides to end the relationship.
