Dionne Mahaffey

In her new book, “Girl Leave Her Man Alone,” Author Dionne Mahaffey delves into the psyches of the "other woman" and reveals: who they are…and why they do what they do. "Honoring marital relationships is basic to the fabric of a moral and civilized society," she states. In a 2009 study in “The Journal of Experimental Social Psychology,” researchers found that “mate poaching” among females is more common than once believed. In fact, when it comes to attached men, this study found that 90 percent of single women were found to be interested in pursuing married men; But only 59 percent were interested in single men. For some women, mate poaching is justified by the fact that since their lover’s wife is a stranger; they feel they didn’t violate a friend. “However it is my position that moral behavior is based on principles, not on the level of acquaintance. And this book will take a look at the “other woman” and encourage them to squash the desires and motives that foster female rivalry,” comments Dionne Mahaffey. My book is not an effort to blame extramarital affairs solely on the “other woman.” Nor does this book absolve men from their God-mandated responsibility to uphold the sanctity of their marriage. However, it is not my mission to address men on this subject. My goal is to remind women of sisterhood; and to foster “gender-loyalty, she said. With the use of vignettes and true life stories, each chapter of “Girl Leave her man Alone” will take a hard look at the various types of “mistresses.” “As women, we should love the idea of being a female so dearly that we wouldn’t dare do anything to hurt another woman,” Mahaffey continues. “We as women must learn to live up to our fullest potential and believing that we can experience self-actualization and success by following moral principals and standards. Have faith that one day your prince will come …. But in the mean time GIRL, LEAVE HER MAN ALONE!” Each cha
