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, it doesn't really matter what *you* think now does it? It only matters what the two people involved in the relationship think.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

I breast fed my son until his sister was born. He was 16 months old. Then I nursed her until she was almost 2. She was a tough one to wean. My sex drive hit an all time low, and about the same time, dh's reached an all time high (wouldn'tcha know it). I didn't understand the hormonal thing until I talked to my (female) doctor about it. We had a great conversation, often very humerous, about how to please my dh without harming myself. lol. When you combine the hormonal imbalances with the demands of motherhood, it can equal a pretty low sex drive. My children are now 5 and 6 and I still don't have the drive I did before they were born. We have a wonderful relationship though and we are both are completely satisfied. Sex drive does not have to be completely equal to have a healthy/happy/compatible sex life.

So then winning that contest would make you a pain to those around you?

I really don't think it matter a hair what two people in a relationship think is normal, actually. All people tend to care about, is how well their sex life is meeting their own need, and the need of their partner, normal or not.

This is a post I can agree with. It is *all* about the two people involved and working out an arrangement that is satisfactory to both partners.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

Are we to understand that just by observing, you can identify a sexually frustrated male co-worker? Again, I think you're giving yourself way to much credit where men are concerned, but I'll play along.

How can you tell?

<> I can't imagine any kind of legal business where a sexually frustrated co-worker would impact on your ability to work at all. Again, it just confirms what we've been saying all along about you: crime doesn't pay and it's not easy being in jail.

No. . .and your thinly veiled insults are tiresome, at best.

What insults?

I have noticed some posters seem to be insulted when they encounter challenge to, or disagreement with their positions. Maybe that is what is going on here?

You didn't just disagree with me.
