OTHERWISE, JUST ENJOY READING THE SNIPPETS :
1ST Confession
Wives, here is a fact you definitely don’t want to know about your husband: he wants to shag your best friend. Not only does he want to shag your best friend, but also your second and third-best friends. (And fourth, fifth, sixth, etc.) There’s nothing personal about this. In fact, in a strange way, he means it as a compliment. You see, one of the many delightful things he has noticed about women is that they tend to associate with women who are on a roughly similar level of pulchritude and general hotness. So what he’s sorta, kinda saying when he fancies your friends is how much he fancies you. But he’d never try articulating any of this to you. It’s just one of those many things that Wives Just Don’t Understand.
OBVIOUSLY WIVES/LOVERS/GIRLFIRENDS (“WLG”) DON’T UNDERSTAND. COS THAT’S SCARY IF ALL MEN THINK LIKE THAT. MEANS LADIES CAN’T BRING THEIR BEST FRIEND HOME!!! AND WHAT NONSENCE THAT IT’S ACTUALLY A COMPLIMENT TO THE “WLG”!!!
Confessions of a Married Man
2ND Confession
Being the main breadwinner has other advantages, too, such as never having to disclose to your wife how much of your earnings you are blowing on your vices. “Sports betting is my fatal addiction,” says Simon. “You can lose so much so quickly. The Ashes cost me an absolute fortune, especially Ponting’s batting. He’s normally so reliable, but towards the end of the series he just wasn’t making the runs. This is the sort of detail you don’t trouble your wife with. But do I feel bad about it? Not really. If you earn a lot, you can afford to lose a bit.”
Kevin, 39, a teacher, has rather less to lose, but he has managed to run up a large credit card bill that he has resolutely kept secret from his wife. “Amazon 1-Click ordering has been my vice. I’m not sure when I’m going to finally clear my debts, but till then, what the wife doesn’t know isn’t going to hurt her, is it?”
For Holden, where expenditure is concerned, the “rule of thirds” applies. “Suppose you’ve blown £600 on a flat-screen TV. When she asks you how much, you tell her £400. It’s exactly what they do with us when we ask them how much their new coat cost, so it seems only fair.”
WELL, LOOKS LIKE THERE’S SIMILIARITY BETWEEN THE TWO SEXES HERE. WE ALL KNOW “WLG” DO THE SAME TOO. AS PER MY EARLIER POSTING 'Is it ok to tell a White Lie...If it's for the Right Reason' “WLG” LIES TOO. "WLG" HIDE WHAT THEY SPEND ON SHOPPING FOR SHOES, BAGS, COSMETICS, JEWELLERIES, ETC. DO YOU THINK YOUR "HLB" EVER LIE TO YOU ON THINGS HE PURCHASED?
3RD Confession
Now, sex, which occupied by far the most important part in all the conversations I had – largely because, as one husband put it, “It’s what we think about more than anything else.
Journalist and author Rod Liddle, himself a reformed roué, says: “I reckon 90 per cent of married men – if they could be guaranteed to get away with it – would have affairs.” And as far as desire is concerned, he is probably right. “God, I’d just love to have some completely meaningless sex with some gorgeous girl I’d met on a business trip,” admits Simon. “But not at the expense of my marriage.”
“It is not natural for a man to be monogamous,” says Steve Wichett, who estimates that over a given period, between 35 per cent and 40 per cent of husbands will have affairs (though other surveys put the figure as high as 60 per cent). “Monogamy is an arrangement he makes with himself, either through reasons of fear or lack of opportunity.”
That’s the problem with us men. No matter how old or ugly we are, no matter how secure and happy we are in our relationships, there’ll always be a small part of us that yearns to answer our atavistic urge to spread our gene pool as widely as we possibly can.
WELL, LOOKS LIKE “WLG” JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT IT. JUST HAVE TO PUT THEMSELVES IN THE SHOE OF HOW THEY JUST CAN’T STOP THINKING OF NEXT SHOPPING! WELL THERE WAS A REPORT THAT ‘MEN THINK ABOUT SEX 5,000 TIMES A YEAR'! LOOKS LIKE THIS CONFESSION IS WELL SUPPORTED. AS LONG HE KEEPS IT TO THINKING, THAT'S FINE!
4TH Confession
“I didn’t have sex with a man until I was 34. At the time, my wife was pregnant with our first child. Before that I’d had girlfriends, and enjoyed the sex, though not as much as I did with men.”
The surprising bit – and Barry should know – was just how many married men out there are secretly gay. “And I don’t mean bisexual. Hardly any men are. They’re just gay men in denial or living a lie,” he says. “It happened more times than you’d ever imagine. I’d go out to parties, bars, clubs, with my wife, and after a few drinks another of the married men would ask if I was gay. Things used to happen from there.”
I WONDER WHICH IS WORST? TO HAVE MY MAN CONFESSED HE HAS AN AFFAIR WITH A GIRL OR THAT HE HAS AN AFFAIR WITH A MAN! HOW ABOUT YOU ALL, EVER THOUGHT OF WHICH IS WORST?
5TH Confession
What the internet does is help us to sublimate our desires in a socially acceptable way,” says Kevin, who thinks his wife probably is aware of his internet porn use, but would prefer to pretend it didn’t happen. According to Godson, internet porn definitely belongs to the category of things it’s best not to mention to your partner.
IF GIVEN A CHOICE BETWEEN HIM SURFING PORN AT HOME OR HE HAVING AN AFFAIR, THEN I RATHER HE SURF PORN. ALTHOUGH SOME MIGHT SAID WHY SHOULD THERE BE A CHOICE? HE SHOULD BE HAPPY, CONTENTED WITHE ME!
6TH Confession
I think women are the most clever, calculated deceivers of all. I remember once still being on top of a girl when she picked up the phone to speak to her boyfriend. I couldn’t believe it. She cancelled his call twice, but then took it the third time he rang.
“What I have learnt from the whole process is that relationships and marriages are not black and white. I never wanted to leave my wife; I love her and we have two lovely children. I am the first to admit that it is a very ‘Have your cake and eat it’ attitude, but I would go as far as to say that, perversely, the website is actually keeping my marriage together. It has put a spring in my step and I am happier at home now that this yearning is fulfilled. How long that will last I don’t know, but at the moment it is ticking all the boxes.”
I SUPPOSE TWO CAN PLAY THE GAME. MEN, TRADITIONALLY BEING ACCEPTED TO CHEAT. NOW WOMEN'S PLAYING THE GAME TOO, ESPECIALLY LIBERATED WOMEN. JUDGING FROM ALL THE PAST COMMENTS IN THOSE BLOGS, THINK WOMEN ARE SURE HAVING MORE FUN NOW :-).
7TH Confession
“I have been married since June, and have already told lots of little white lies. The thing is, sometimes men just have to lie. For example, I was playing cricket with my mates, which my wife – who was then my girlfriend – knew about, and I left all of my kit locked up in the clubhouse. The game went on for a while, and when we finally finished I went back to my bag to find I had 26 missed calls, 11 text messages and 7 voicemails, which started off asking, ‘Where are you?’ and culminated in ‘Why are you avoiding me? The marriage is off.’
THIS IS TYPICAL. AM SURE MOST WOMEN THINK THE SAME IF MEN DON'T ANSWERED THEIR MOBILE PHONE…."HE MUST BE WITH SOME GAL! OR HE MUST BE SHAGGING SOME GAL!" BUT OF COURSE, MANY TIMES, IT'S JUST BEEN GENUINELY CONCERNED. COS WHEN HE DON'T ANSWER, "WLG" BE WORRYING IF HE'S ALRIGHT.
8TH Confession
These days, I don’t lie about anything. I’ve learnt from bitter experience that you will either get found out or the lie sits there and congeals. When I was married the first time, I wasn’t entirely faithful; I told porkies about all sorts of things. In the days before mobile phones, it was a lot easier. You could call from a phone box in Dartford, and pretend you were in Edinburgh on business, and she was none the wiser, so long as you could remember the lie and stick to it.
“I almost got caught once, though. My first wife went away for a few days, and a female friend came round to, er, play. When she left, I cleaned the flat top to toe. My wife came back, walked in and said, ‘Why is this place so clean? Why have you spring-cleaned? You’ve been up to something.’ She went into our bedroom, picked up a hairbrush and found a long blonde hair in it. My wife was Japanese with short, black hair.
I WOULD DO THE SAME TOO, IF I RETURNED HOME TO SEE THINGS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN WHEN IT'S NOT HIM HABIT TO CLEAN UP!!! HE MUST BE UP TO SOMETHING! :-)
Men give themselves away so easily. I can spot it when my boyfriend is lying. I just choose to ignore it as long he's not cheating on me. It's just his addiction to computer game.
