I am friends with a few great guys, all very different from each other except for one thing - they are all married and all of them had an affair or two and they ended up confiding in me about it from time to time. I am a good friend , after all, and they know they can trust me.. Ha ! HA! I have to admit that I even encouraged them here and there just for my own entertainment sake! What can I say.. Of course all of the dudes had their affairs for different reasons (bored to death with Wife is #1), in different settings and even countries, but the diet of forbidden fruit they existed on - secret meetings, trysts in quiet pubs, impossible luxuries of spending an entire night or a few days together - all of that ended up with the most Banal Mess for all involved and Banal is the key word!
Of course, it was wonderful while it lasted.
And there was always a point in the affairs of all my friends when, if they could, they would surely keep life like this forever. If they could just press a button to keep life as sweet as this for always, they would. It usually happens when you have two women and both of them happy. The first one doesn't know about the second and the second one always believes that one day she will replace the first!
But the moment passes and what you've left is two unhappy women accusing you of betrayals, laying shitty guilt trips, inflicting misery and on and on .. till The "Tragedy" is finally over and dudes learn to live without anyone ( in the best case scenario). But I am an optimist and always think of times when these guys told me how life without "each other" seemed unimaginable, how they could not give HER up (of course they could) and how much they loved her.. which, in the end, really meant less than nothing!
