The banker and father of one takes a sip of his beer and stares at my breasts.

“I bet you get amorous when you're drunk. I'd like to see that.”


Yesterday’s Post had a disturbing article. The writer placed an ad up on Craig’s List posing as a married woman seeking a married man to have an affair with.

The article probably confirmed a lot of women’s poor opinion of my gender. Hell, I can’t say I didn’t find it sleazy myself.

While I could understand the motivation (of the men), it just struck me as very sad.

There is this great ‘gender divide’ in how men and women come at relationships. I’m not excusing cheating, but some people are put together one way and some people are put together another.

Among my friends I’ve known serial cheaters and I’ve also known loyally devoted husbands.

Coming off my own seven year hitch, I always felt it was more of a bother than anything else. The other thing I thought was, if you do it (cheat) it tells you a lot about your relationship (and probably how you shouldn’t be in it).

There are always going to be moments when any man (or woman) is tempted, it’s easier to cheat, the tough thing is sticking it out with someone and making things work. Then again, it took me a bit of time to arrive at that wisdom.
