SAH/WOH--extramarital affairs

I was just at the gym this morning and overheard a conversation between two women on treadmills who were discussing/debating as to whether married sahms were any more or less likely to have affairs than married wohms.

I thought it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this.

Well, as we've recently established, you have just a teensy-weensy bit of difficulty with the notion of THINGS CHANGE. She didn't say she prefers celibacy. I'm rather sure that all things being equal, virtually anyone who had enjoyed a happy and healthy marriage and sex life would "prefer" that that go on forever. In the absence OF the ability to make that last forever, some perfectly NORMAL people would prefer not to spend the rest of their natural life chasing after getting everything they had with their spouse back with some other person. Some peoples' priorities actually do change with their circumstances, and that's not so much as "odd."

When I wrote my hypothetical situation I had no idea, so I hope you know I didn't mean anything by it.

I already answered. I have this funny thing about love being both more important than and a precondition for being interested in sex.

I never saw it but I remember it looked VERY interesting. One of those movies that definitely would make me think about what *I* would do in such a situation.

Oh, I knew that. . .it's a common name used in hypotheticals. . .just ironic that you'd use it with me not knowing that's my name.

And I've got to figure that if my spouse became incapacitated, God forbid, excess horniness would not be likely to be among the biggest problems on my mind.

I wouldn't bet the farm on that one.

In such a situation, it wouldn't be among the biggest problems on my mind either. But it would eventually be on my mind.

Since when does the desire for a sex life constitute "excess horniness?"
