Sadly, it's true. The other woman has the advantage over you when it comes to the field upon which the battle for your marriage is played in many respects. That doesn't mean that all is lost. Not by a long shot.
You will have to overcome a few distinct advantages the other woman has in order to ultimately win the war to save your marriage. Keep these reasons in mind as you decide how you are going to deal with your cheating husband and whether or not you are willing to take no prisoners in this war for his heart.
1) The other woman is new and exciting to your husband. It's kind of like buying a new pair of shoes. The old shoes are comfortable and broken in. They are ready to wear for that long walk that marriage is. The new shoes though are still shiny and exciting. They aren't broken in and might hurt your feet a bit if you walk around in them very much but for the short term wear quite nicely. The other woman is a new pair of shoes. The upside is that most men tire of one pair quickly and do ultimately come back to the comfortable pair the pair they truly love and can't live without most of the time.
2) She has no hold over him. Men aren't big on the whole being beholden to someone else thing. Marriage can be a cumbersome burden in the minds of some men. The other woman represents freedom to him especially if she knew he was married and had no interests in leaving his family when the affair began.
3) She makes no demands for his time and attention. The other woman in these relationships generally is available on his time and terms. It doesn't work the other way around. This strokes his ego and serves his purposes but it also makes her a little more attractive for not placing those demands and requirements on his time and attention.
4) She is still enamored enough that she either doesn't recognize or doesn't point out his flaws. Men hate having their flaws pointed out to them. They especially hate it when the woman they want to have the respect and admiration of is the one woman who points out the flaw. The other woman isn't likely to do that because she knows how tenuous her hold over him as.
