The other woman

How selfish can one be in love? A friend told me one 'selfishness is never right except in the game of love.' But how far exactly may one go? I know this girl. let's call her Megan and she's dating a guy called Michael Megan is a shy girl with a sensitive heart and just over her mid twenties. Michael is about three years younger, Mediterenian type and he's sending her SMS alomost every day, even more on the same day. So she thinks he's very nice and she likes the attention he's giving her, and sometimes it bothers her. He said he's got a girlfriend since a few months, she's 18 years old and still living with her parents. Michael told Megan his girlfriend doesn't mind him seeing Megan, but Megan feels uncomfortable by knowing she's the other woman. It's not that she's wants a relationship or anything. Ok, she does, but Michael doesn't feel like mister right by far. Megan knows some girl far away maybe hurt but she's also in need of Michaels attention, his body and warmth. And she's very good in pretending that's he's in love with her. How selfish can she be? It's all just a game. And in this particular game the players are Megan, the girlfriend and the ex of Megan. Michael is in the middle of it all, the spil of the wheel of sex and love.
