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.

What I miss most about my husband isn't sex. . .I can have sexual release anytime I want it (and do have it when I want it).


What I miss most about my husband is his companionship and the intimacy we share. . .that's not so easy to 'take care of on my own'.


I've already addressed this distinction somewhere in this monster thread.

How does she know she is?


I didn't say she isn't right. She might be. But she has no basis to believe she is right. Unless she is asking these people to confirm it; and if that's the case, then I wonder what kind of people she works with.

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.

Well luckily for me, I had decades of experience with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations, before I achieved the status of "married female in the workforce who really has no business, apparently, having any sort of relationship whatsoever with any male co-worker of any description, that goes beyond the purely perfunctory, practical and strictly work related." That experience didn't dissolve when I aquired the developmentally socially dead status of "mfitwwrhnbahasorwwamcwoadtgbtpppaswr".

I have decades of experience which tell me my *thinks* are pretty darn worth taking seriously. I'm sorry if some people don't learn a thing about human nature as they go through life interacting with human beings day in and day out and week in and week out and year in and year out and decade in and decade out. As I said...I am well aware that those people exist. They are certainly in the minority.

No, my commuication with my male co-workers is no more silent than my communication with my female co-workers. Which strangely, seems to be a reality that terrifies a good number of women. Not sure why. But women and men do communicate as equals out in the world which I know. I can't imagine it any other way, really.

Surely you don't honestly believe that people learn nothing at all useful about human nature and behaviour as they go through life?

No no. Just the ones exhibiting the particular behaviours which I've learned through the decades, indicate sexual frustration. Of course, I've had alot of male friends over those decades. Not all women do, I realize that. Too bad for them.

When did this become about you and your husband, rather than about the behaviours of human beings who aren't experiencing a satisfactory sex life?

Uhhhhh yeah. Because that is exactly what I said I believe.

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.
