Relationships: A 2 Seater

The problem with a lot of relationships, in my opinion, is that there are more than 2 people influencing the relationship.
...................................................

I started this post weeks ago after seeing a friend's relationship go through a rough patch because of a third person who put themselves in the middle of their relationship. I came up with the first sentence and that was really as much as I could  get out of my thoughts. Here I am a few weeks later, looking at this post's first draft and it is hitting a lot closer to home than it did originally.
Relationships are, in fact, a two person deal. It's hard enough to compromise and work together and build a relationship between you and someone else. Adding another person to the mix makes everything a million times more complicated. There is absolutely no reason for someone in the relationship to go out and invite someone else and their opinions and needs and wants in to the middle of everything.
There's no reason for someone to go outside of a committed relationship  looking for whatever it is that they think they need or want. It's really as simple as black and white. If you are happy, you are happy. If you are not, you are not. There's really no in between. If you're not getting what you want out of a relationship with someone, then you need to reevaluate the entire situation and either work on things or leave if that's where things are heading. But never should any one ever go and start some new relationship on the side.
Pardon my French, but that is just bull shit.
Plain and simple.
I also don't understand what girls get out of being "the other girl." Seriously though? You obvious don't have any respect for other people and their relationships, but what about YOURSELF? Why would you want that   kind of reputation following you?

On a related topic, I can't stand it when two people are cheating and the cheated-on only blames one party.
Your boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever is just as much to blame as the trash they were involved with behind your back.
