Good point. I have always said people really don't care about affairs. I mean, sure the betrayed spouse does, but in general affairs are somewhere between tolerated and fully accepted now. See your point above, a man can walk out on his family, marry younger and the population shrugs.

And note these men are the champions of the religious right.

I agree with this. No one really cares. It isn’t even particularly shocking when it happens. In most cases of people having affairs that then leave their spouses to be with that person, I wonder why it took them both so long.

FWIW - in most cases of affairs that I know of, both people are married. The more powerful man/secretary scenario is less common than it used to be

Nott sure this is the case everywhere. Polls indicate people still don’t like cheating. Not sure your opinion is a universal opinion on cheating.

Since both of the elected men literally had 10s of millions of people voting them - actually it does seem to indicate that people will overlook, ignore, or just not find cheating or affairs a devaluing mark on a person's character.

Enough so that they will literally elect said person to the highest office in the land for two of the world's leading powers.

And the last two Presidents of France either married their mistress or had her as his official partner while in office as well.

As for Charles - he's the next head of the Church of England. The fact that he can hold that future title while married to his mistress says it all.

+2 Based on what I’ve observed as the shoulder cried on by both mistresses and wives. It’s not even necessarily that he wants sex because he’s not getting it at home from the wife. Sometimes the man just wants sex with a different woman. Hence, the OW who are devastated to learn 2-3 years into an affair that the man has a new baby with his wife.

My husband and I began cohabitation when his youngest went to college. That has been 20 years since our relationship began, 16 years since youngest his child went to college
And 15 years since marriage

Marla was the mistress who trapped Trump by getting pregnant and publically forcing the issue. Since Ivana did not have a prenup she did not lose out financially. Infact, Tiffany was a bastard child who was born to unwed parents. Donald probably wanted to hedge his bet. Donald disliked Marla and the unwanted kid and finally had no issues in getting rid of her before 2 years were over. Marla Maple was paid 1 million in alimony. If Marla had not happened, Donald would not have married Melania even if he had slept with her and cheated on Ivana. And he has always gone for all types of sex workers and in fact slept with Stormi when Melania was pregnant, so Melania was not something speacial. Melania got lucky because Donald holds a grudge and wanted to discard Marla for trapping him. Without Marla, Melania was another B-grade older escort/model type of woman whose pu$$y he grabbed. But no need to feel bad for Melania. She is in a better positon than the rest of America for having this POS as the POTUS.

Dating and reasons for marriage were also very different 40 years ago. Society has normalized things that were taboo before.

I think plenty of people marry the wrong people or marry for the wrong reasons and it catches up with them. And then they're 50. And they have a slew of short-term affairs to feel better about themselves or they actually meet someone they have a long-term affair with who they may even love. And if they want to really be with that person they have to get out of their marriage which is a nasty solution for most.

Plenty of men leave but the. Try and upgrade from the mistress when they do. Your friend needs to get a grip.

I believe more men leave for their mistresses than these stats say. I know of a few. It happens. People suck. Life goes on.

Exactly. It's not just men who are in affairs for sex. I've had sex with over 15 married women (and I've known so many more) and none of them were looking to leave their husbands. Of the 10 or so whose lives I still know, only one has divorced and she isn't with any of her APs but a guy she met since her divorce.

Christ -talk about an HPV receptacle.

Long lasting and don’t even routinely screen for it STD/STI tests. Men can’t be tested for it.

As a microbiologist, Id like to warn you that antibiotic resistant Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.
