I was on my nightly walk to the pharmacy for my prescription for my flu...
I was thinking about this cuckold thing...
It's a very old word.. medieval in fact...
This is a modern world... why on earth am I using such an antiquated term?
We have nuclear missiles, machines that can fly beyond the speed of sound, global communication systems that transfer data in seconds across the world...
But, I am using this old word...
Well, the ACT is still DONE...
How modern are we?
We are modernized technologicaly, but morally, we really haven't grown that much...
Cell phones, hot running water, genetic engineering... But we still creep around in the dark mounting other people's wives... Four thousand years of civilization and we are still doing this horrible thing to other people... All I can do is shake my head.
Yup, I know lea that your Husband is not sneaking around in the dark... or IS he?
Has he contacted OWH? Does he travel past OWH's house holding her hand? WOULD he?
Is he being public, or is he just being publically careful?
Would he walk up to OWH's door and say something like :
"Hello, you don't know me, but I recently met your wife, and I understand you two are separated. I would like to invite her out, but I certaily don't want to step on any toes... So I would like to clear the air and make sure you are both ok with my dating your wife.. if not, I will happily step aside and allow you two to resolve things first... far be it for me to be an interference on something that isn't over."
Would he do something like this? Why hasn't he? Certainly he's not afraid is he?
Well, you said he would be VERY ANGRY or something to that effect, if you exposed him to OWH... why angry? If he's OK with what he's doing, why react angrily at all? If what HE is doing is OK then there should BE no reaction... none at all...
When a spouse reacts animatedly to exposure, this paralell's their shame...
The angrier they are... the more you have humiliated them...
So, yes, shame and not contacting the OWH with so much as a head's up would tell me we have not progressed far at all...
