Lock

I recently went to a wedding where the 50 year old bride wore a dress that was extremely low cut with her breasts pushed up to the point where you could not help looking at them rather than her face. If she had of breathed too hard than everything would have fallen out. This marriage came about from an affair by both partners. If she was trying to make some sort of statement in wearing this dress than what would it be.

Recently my friend married for the second time. He had been married to his first wife for over 20 years and has two grown up children. He was unhappy in his first marriage which ended in an affair and his first wife throwing him out. When he got married the second time his new wife's children all attended the wedding but his children did not. His new wife's family now visit and spend holidays with them while his children will not visit at all. His children have also make it very clear that they do not want his new wife at any future family function such as a wedding or engagement party.

I recently read a book called marrying the mistress and the man Guy left his wife of 40 years to be with his mistress of 24. The daughter-in-law disliked the mother so she happily welcomed the mistress into the family with open arms. Everyone in the family went along with this except the wife of course. I feel that the daughter-in-law was so cruel and I certainly did not think much of the son for agreeing with this. My question is Has society got to a point where affairs are just a part of life and when it happens to your family in some way you just accept it and welcome the adulterer.

I also have friends in this situation where the wife has almost be destroyed with grief over the husband's affair while the husband and other people see it as the marriage was having problems so it is alright for the husband to find a mistress whom will make him happy. People seem to accept this. Am I different in feeling that affairs are wrong even if the marriage is not working out.

Would you accept an mistress happily into your family?

I have a friend who left his wife of 26 years for another women. Three weeks later he takes his new girlfriend to meet his mother and family in a town 1000km away. Was this the right thing to do.

Recently I read a book called Territory in which the main character is happy to have sex with the aborigines on his property along with the whores of the town, but when his wife finds comfort in another man's arms after he hits her, he gets extremely angry considering her as nothing but a whore. The book begins at WW2 in Darwin. What I want to know is áre there men that still think that it is fine for them to have casual sex but not for their wives." I have read many historical books where this idea is very common, one book where the wife encouraged it in order not to have more children.
