There and Back, #7

I picture that we are doing what generations of women have done, stood by their men and marriages during their whims of fantasy until they come to their senses. Unfortunately, they say 60% of married men cheat and 40% of wives. I NEVER believed that statistic even though my Dad and Grandpa were cheaters and all my uncles did too. I just thought it was cultural and that sane, normal men and women do not throw away their lives for something as stupid as an affair.

On a base level, I guess what they say about mammal, primate stuff is kind of true. Yuck. I hate to think in cliches and stereotypes or even science. It makes me feel stupid and unromantic to admit that men go after fertile, younger women to breed and women go after older, richer, stronger men for goods and protection for their younglings.

Morgan, LWB, I am right there with ya. I totally feel like givin' 'em the boot, too. But how do you do that while DBing? It is impossible unless we really want a divorce. And we are here to avoid divorce. We have to just remember we can be happy with or without them. Our hapiness is not dependent on them. If they are making us so unhappy it hurts ourselves, then we need to take our ownspace. We cannot be enablers to their madness. we are not their mothers, for goodness sakes.
