A friend of mine told me this story. He has a pool at home and one day he went to the store to buy chemical products to keep the water of the pool clean and healthy. He went to the store and started grabbing things from the shelf: granulated chlorine, pH elevating solution, purifier, alkalinity reducer… and other products. When he got to the cash register, he was surprised at the price. He complained to the cashier:

— Expensive, wouldn’t you say?

— Yes it is. Pools are just like lovers: they’re expensive to maintain, they give you a lot of work and in the end you stay in them for very little time.

No matter how crude the comparison may be, it doesn’t keep it from being true. Men with lovers would say so. There’s the money for the motel, presents, restaurants, clothes, private cellphones that their wives don’t know about, getting away during work hours… not to mention the eventual “keep her mouth shut” money. But there’s more.

Then there’s all the trouble to hide the affair from the wife and from all the people who may tell her. The lies get bigger each time, the secret e-mail accounts, remembering to delete the history on your cellphone and computer, not being so absent at home so the wife doesn’t suspect nor too far from the lover so she won’t complain, the trouble to not get the lover’s perfume on your clothes, paying for everything in cash instead using the credit card, hoping the lover doesn’t get pregnant… the list is long.

And of course, that’s not mentioning the highest price of all: being caught, losing your marriage and the respect of your children, your good name and your peace; all that just to stay in just for a little bit and then getting out.

Really, what draws a married man to have a lover doesn’t make any intelligent sense. However, at an increasing rate, men have chosen the high price of betrayal.

Consider the alternative: turning your marriage into an exciting adventure and your wife into your lover. Impossible? Don’t be so quick to discard the idea.

I know that many men get involved with other women looking to find in them what their wife is lacking. The sweet words instead of the nagging, the sexy appearance instead of the smell of garlic and onion, the kisses instead of fights, but they don’t realize that many times they’re mainly the ones responsible for their wives becoming annoying. If they treat their lover as they do their wives, in a short time, the lover would become just as annoying.

In order to always have a wife-lover at home, you have to be a husband-lover. It’s much simpler, cheaper, and in the end the pleasure is greater.
