Infidelity - Wives and Lovers

by ThatWoman @ 2008-05-10 - 11:56:24

Thinking out aloud (again!)

How many people choose to ignore or even actively encourage their partners to have an affair?

I've heard of those who simply enjoy the status of being married (or coupledom) and all the benefits it brings. They don't want to rock the boat or overturn the cosy applecart.

This is fine for the husband and wife but what about the poor lover?

Please note: I don't intend continuing a relationship with MrX (or embarking on one with MrY or MrZ) if they're in a "permanent" relationship with MrsX (or MrsY or MrsZ)!

I'm sure the 'poor lover' is shrewd enough not to assume the unassumable....

And...
interesting paradox
'reluctant mistress'

"Reluctant mistress" comes from the fact that my (now ex) husband had an affair and I swore I'd never allow myself to get involved with a married man for fear of hurting another woman as I was hurt.

The 'other woman' always gets the blame. 'How could she hurt a member of her own sex'? The harlot, the scarlot woman, all terms to suggest that us poor men are victims of a scheming woman. That men are not really to blame because it is their nature to be unable to refuse an attractive woman.

Yet again Eve gets the blame.

I think there are women who value marriage more than they value their husbands. Some see status in being married. For some there is a lazy comfort in staying married. I think some women love their husbands but don't enjoy sex. I think there are women for these or other reasons choose not to know or actively encourage extra-marital relationships.
I think that if the lover is not emotionally damaged at the onset and knows the score she has to take responsibility for her own behaviour, whether she is burdened by guilt or not.
