We didn’t see it coming. Manny Pacquiao may have been linked to other ladies in the past, but despite all intrigues, his family has always been an integral part of both his public and private persona. Now that reports of an alleged affair with sexy starlet Krista Ranillo have broken out, it’s clear that not even the strongest bonds are spared the crime of infidelity. It could happen to anyone--including regular folks like us.

Patricia, 29, a nurse, had been going out with Nathan, 29, an engineer, for nearly five years. To many, they were the perfect couple: Smart, good-looking, and easygoing, they both had stable jobs, the same circle of loyal friends, supportive families, and the same drive to succeed. Nathan, especially, was deemed as “mabait” by many, and had been faithful to Patricia. One night, while hanging out in a bar with friends, he was introduced to Jenny. Before he knew it, they were kissing.

Rhea, 20, a customer service representative, was about to meet up with her boyfriend, Dennis, for their usual Saturday date when she received a surprise phone call. He’d see her tomorrow instead, Dennis told her, because he had to pick up a friend from the airport. It seemed normal—except that the friend was his former fling. Before Rhea knew it, he had turned off his phone and didn’t call again until late the following day.

Anna, 28, an editor, had been together with her beau, Tristan, for six years. Everything seemed fine until Tristan confessed one day that he had met a girl in a convention he attended and “found her fascinating.” Nothing happened between them, he claimed, but he couldn’t stop thinking about her. Anna was horrified. “I thought we were safe,” she says. Jealous fights soon ensued. “We were on a downward spiral because of this third person.”

What happened? Just when you thought that things were going well and couldn’t be any better, you’re confronted with the specter of a third party—someone your partner may have connected with emotionally or sexually. Can even the closest couples be completely safe from temptation?

According to relationship expert Caterina Christakos, “Finding a man and seducing him is the easy part, despite our occasional slumps. It is the work that you put into keeping the seduction, flirtation, mystery and romance that will keep him on board or send him scurrying to abandon ship.”

“For most of us, the trouble isn’t in finding someone, the challenge comes in keeping that special someone interested and intrigued,” says Seattle-based writer and radio person Bruce Joseph.

  83. Jinky's condition is complicated since she's not only married to Manny. She also has children with him. So if she left him, there is a high possibility that the children will be hurt and the concept of them as a family will be gone. I just hate it how SOME men see women as trophies. I've observed that the high-ranking men in the society tend to have more mistresses. I don't Manny's religious enough to keep him from being loyal to his wife.

  81. True! make sure not be overly jealous , be confident and don't provoke your man to be unfaithful. Give them privacy din don't sneak on their stuff to much. It created uncomfortable zones kasi sa guy then tend to be much malihim pa nga e pag ganun.

  63. Someone once said that when you marry someone, he/she possesses 90% of the traits you're looking for in a partner. As the marriage goes on, one will get bored and look for the remaining 10% that he/she cannot find in his/her partner. That's the start of infidelity. When the marriage falls apart, he/she will realize what he/she have lost.

  55. First of all I hate mistresses. But when we look and find the real reason why men cheat maybe some women will be shocked, the problem would be us. We have to have open communications with our men. Men love being loved. We should shower them praises and we should be around always. But most importantly we should have our own lives too. We don't have to leave our own friends just for your man we should keep them most especially in times like these. Love yourself first.

  44. For those who think that their efforts went in vain when the guy said good-bye, then it just shows what a loser he is. Cry a little, don't give up, pursue life with gusto, find your passion, make yourself beautiful, and find a new one. The best revenge is to see him looking at you fazed, "huh, I broke up with her yet she seems fine."

  42. It is right that Jinkee never gave up Manny despite the issue because if she gave up, it would have been easier for the "la mujer esa" to get him. Jinkee had been with Manny from the start,through thick and thin, while the "la mujer esa" only fell for him because of his money. Why should we forgive? If you forgive, you free yourself from the bondage of your man's mistake. You are now going down to his level. If you cheat as well, then it just shows that you are stooping down to his level. If you cannot take it, then get out of the relationship and forgive him still, but don't ever cheat while in a relationship with him because you are putting yourself in the same boat with him who has the fault. It is only but pride that is getting in your way when we think that we carry the burden of the relationship. Both men and women carry the burden and sweetness of the relationship, but women are the quarterbacks, never giving up or compromising and of course, never cheating.

  17. Before I broke up with my ex, he had this "platonic" relationship with a girl. They both admitted that they like each other (as crushes). The girl had a boyfriend. Things got really bad between my bf and me, and the girl had a lot to do with it. So we broke up. What happened was the girl's boyfriend realized that he liked me. He broke up with the girl and tried to pursue me. We dated and we liked each other. However, there was one dealbreaker that the guy couldn't really compromise with, so he tried going back to his ex. On the other hand, my ex realized his mistake and tried to get back to me, inspite of the fact that I "hurt" him because I dated his friend's ex. (My point is, a girl can be a "bitch" and still get away with it, as long as she shows the guy that she can stand up for herself.)
