On the otherhand a lot of them may not understand what damage they are doing as they probably have never been in our shoes
This might be true as well. I think anyone that gets involved with a married person lacks morals. H's OW is married with two young kids the same age as mine, and it didn't stop her (being married). Who knows? I try HARD not to place my blame on OW. I chant in my head that my H owed his loyalty to me, that OW owes me nothing. Now, the loyalty she owes to her H and kids....that's another thing, something she has to answer to.

Lwb, the OP may not owe you anything personally, but she does owe you and all of us the responsibility to honor her own marriage that she asked everyone to respect when she took her vows -- and by the same token she owes God and all of us to respect the vows taken by someone else.
Marriage is a contract and a covenant between a husband and wife, and with God and all of humanity.
I find it harder to make an excuse for a woman that is married vs a single guy which is probally just wanting to get laid. Either way it does not do us much good to dwell on the other person. lwb the OW in your case is just falling into the same old traps the grass is greener, the exicitement, this is what makes me happy, the new, etc. I think unhappiness can really cloud someones thinking and morales.
