SAH/WOH--extramarital affairs
| Tue, 02-15-2005 - 12:54pm |
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.

If you have you spent any time in the workforce at all, dealing with people, or anywhere at all dealing with people, then of course you realize how the moods of the people around you can affect the environment in which you find yourself.
And yep. I can id the sexually frustrated male just as easily as I can id the pms-ing female. Its not very difficult to identify either. I can identify a whole world of other things, that you may find amazing. If someone at work or in my social circle begins to experience some new life stress, I'll be aware. Alot of the time I can even guess the source correctly before I'm actually told about it - spousal, work, child, finacial...etc. If someone just experienced a personal tragedy, again, I'll know something big and bad has happened even before I'm told what. Its not difficult at all to read people in this way. In fact, its pretty much just a social survival instinct - human beings benefit by having a degree of social intuitiveness. Functionning in society is much easier for those who understand where others are coming from, without having to receive actual direct information. Most people learn as they live and get better at it. I do realize, some people just plain don't have a clue, but most do.
I am actually entirely aware that people have different sex drives and that they are quite happy with them. Right on down to zero sex drive. I wonder where you got the idea I thought otherwise? Do you value a higher or lower sex drive one more than the other? I guess you'd think negatively of someone who actually has no sex drive, being as you seem to think that would be an insult. But that would be your perspective, not mine.
I am also aware thatpeople who want sex, and don't get it, are not just fine to be around. I don't care how much they aren't getting, its that they aren't getting whatever it is that they want.
I'll believe you are just fine to be around when you aren't getting whatever level of sex you want, when you tell me you want none.
You are so right, because as we all know, once you quit your job, you basically quit society altogether. But, I can assure you, sahms do know a little bit about the human condition. If only by rote!
Hopefully we are all sensitive to our friends' highs and lows.
However, once you know that your male co-worker is sexually frustrated, I have to question whether you are being taken seriously at your job. When men in positions of power and intelligence (which is what you lead us to believe you also are) start unloading on you their sexual frustrations, you are no longer considered a serious employee, but an underling and I would be very concerned if I were you.
They are not unloading their frustrations on her, she's picking up on them.

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.

Oh, for crying out loud. What is this, your new version of "say uncle?"

You do realize that you're speaking to a woman whose husband is off to WAR, don't you? Show a little humanity every once in a while. It would be good practice for you.
She is actually assuming that every man who is a tad cranky is sexually frustrated. Not taking into account that there are many frustrations that can make a man cranky - a lack of sex is not going to be that transparent.
