What drives a woman to sleep with another woman's man?

This is something I've wondered about for a very long time.  When I was in college, I had a fling with another girl's boyfriend. I thought she was pretty, so therefore, in my mind, that made me prettier.  I also knew that he was taking quite a risk sneaking around with me. That did wonders for my ego because I felt since he was taking such incredible risks to see me, then certainly that must mean I was worth all of the effort and energy he was putting forth in order for us to be together. It was an exciting, unpredictable time being his "secret lover", and I am left with many fond memories of the relationship. But I was 19, dumb, and a little girl compared to where I am today.  Which leads me to my current question...

What exactly drives grown, mature, adult women to sleep with, and continue to be with, another woman's man?  Is it an ego boost? The thrill of the challenge? An attraction to what appears to be a stable catch? And if one unknowingly gets caught up with a married man, what drives a woman to remain in that situation? 

I really need clarity on this, as it continues to be a missing piece of the puzzle for me.

    My boyfriend is minding-f(ing) & getting mental bjs from a girl who is empowering him to break-up with me. He hasn't told her about his other cheats...

    This is the kind of plain and very attention-seeking type of a girl who my bf would never even look over at once if it wasn't her constant instant messaging him. And this girl thinks she has power over me. Yes, she does, but not the way she thinks. Her self-importance to my bf and my life is so pathetic.

    She's not playing the game right. She should have the self-confidence and worth to know that she doens't belong in our relationship. Walk away and if he follows, then she has him. But he is still with me, for whatever the reasons they may be.

Few things harm a relationship more than an affair. Whether the affair is emotional, a 'one night stand' or full blown, the betrayal delivers a life altering blow. Will the injury to the relationship prove fatal?
