text: ladies what do you think of single women who mess with other men? my sister's friends now has total disrespect for her mother and the man that her mother is messing with.  and she says that her mother is very able to finanically support herself and as been for thirteen years, and she says she knows for a fact her mother is not in love.  and she knows her mother would mess with another married man if she wanted to.  what do you think of her mother and women like her and what should my sister's friend do? well there is really nothing your friend can "do". her mother is an adult and free to make her own choices, whether they are good ones or not. her mother obviously has committment issues and as long as she is involved with married men that takes care of that. if it was my mother, i wouldn't be happy about it, but i could never disrespect her and i would always love her regardless.
