My Husband's Lover

Men are such chauvinist pigs. Let them be the one to fool around & they’d give you “boys will be boys”. Let the woman fool around & she’s a tramp. Well that’s how my husband sees things. Corny as it sounds but we have been watching this soap opera involving a philandering husband, when the wife finally caught him, he asks forgiveness & a chance to start over. Easy for him to say, he wasn’t the one cheated on. So when the wife finds it hard to move on, forget & start all over, she finds solace in a stranger. Why a stranger ? Because she can’t tell anybody that her husband was cheating on her with another man, yes he’s gay. Despite her pains, she can’t tell her or his family the painful truth, she still protects the man that she loves. 

So why can’t she forgive him & move on ? Simply because he can’t answer her question – did he ever really loved her ? Hey how would you feel if in the climax of your love making your husband blurts out “ I love you ___ “ not your name of course. Then later you find out that that name belongs to a man. As if that wasn’t enough, he even gives the admission that he’s been gay since high school, and that they’ve been lovers since - too much information ! Wouldn’t that be enough to doubt even  10 years of blissful marriage ? Not to mention 2 kids coming out of it. What an enigma huh ?

Let’s get back to the question at hand then, considering the possibility that he never loved her, that every tender moments was a success because he was thinking of another man, that 10 years of marriage was happy before she caught him – should she forget everything for the sake of your children ? 

Yes she should. I know, I know, easy for me to say cause I’m not in her shoes. But look at it this way, since the marriage can no longer work, they should just have a compromise, be friends. He’s the only son of a wealthy family, her kids are the sole heirs. She came from a humble family, her 10 years of marriage was a life in the lap of luxury, all the good things life can offer. Not bad right ? The marriage may be a sham, but atleast it’s a sham in style. Just think of the others not as fortunate, those who have a philandering ass for a husband, & their hungry. 

Ooops I lost track, let’s get back to men being chauvinist pigs. The wife finds solace in a stranger – my husband’s comment “SHE’S JUST LOOKING FOR A REASON TO FOOL AROUND”, hello ! she was the perfect wife, takes care of the husband & kids, a stay at home type, a soccer mom. Socializing is going to the grocery with her best friend. Weekends are family excursions. So, looking for a reason to fool around ? I don’t think so. She just needed somebody to talk to or else she’d explode, it just so happens that he’s a male. 

Prejudice !
