If the wife decides to stay with her husband after he's cheated, then directing all the anger & hurt at him, however justified, can eat away at the relationship further. Directing the greater part at the other person is a sort of safe outlet, iyswim. <BR/><BR/>But it does still come from that place that men are helpless against women's wiles and have no control over their zippers, haha. :DMephitishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989129223761426698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21139816.post-71781358540259933242008-06-17T08:48:00.000+01:002008-06-17T08:48:00.000+01:00Physical attractivity (?) is clearly not it.

This woman was a beautiful girl when she was 16 and had matured into a jaw-droppingly attractive woman. Her husband continually messed around with women at work until she gave up on it.<BR/><BR/>Attraction is inside the head. It has very little to do with external appearance and, unfortunately, once it's gone there's no way to get it back.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213448805487172770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21139816.post-53584265845117711422008-06-16T18:40:00.000+01:002008-06-16T18:40:00.000+01:00Along the same lines...something that has always i...Along the same lines...something that has always irked me is how women tend to always blame the 'other woman' when their partner strays. <BR/><BR/>The 'other woman' is not the one who has made a commitment to you and then broken their word--your PARTNER is. The blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of the cheater, not the person with whom they cheat. <BR/><BR/>And no, I agree, you cannot be assured of fidelity simply by virtue of being physically attractive. It's small consolation knowing that your friends think you're pretty if your partner has moved on in their heart. It's a foolish platitude to spout at anyone, and when that someone is ready to grasp at any straw, it's a careless and inconsiderate straw to offer.canadian sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445661464880955455noreply@blogger.com
