[quote=Anonymous]You know the answer. They want to be seen as the all-American classic married man. They might have jobs where the guys who climb the ladder tend to be the "mature" marred men (yes, this still exists, though no manager would ever admit it). They might work for the in-laws. Or need the wife's income to help pay off husband's debts, so the wife is an ATM. Or have kids and fear losing them once they ask for that open marriage and the wife dumps their idiot a$$es and they'll have to (shudder!) be a single dad on a few weekends. They don't want to admit they're failing at marriage because they've never failed at anything (in their own minds). Most of all they want to play the perfect guy in public.

Oh, and they're really good at spinning the "my wife won't fulfill my neeeeeeds" story. Why do you take what he's telling you at face value and assume he's telling the truth? Because he admitted he'd had one affair? Because you've met the wife and she seems so cold, and he's so sad? You're getting played.[/quote]
