Anyway, stop enabling an addict. Stop this thread.

Yes yes - stop exposing a phenomenon that actually exists - even if OP is faking it. Drive it back underground.

Return infidelity to a place where we can pretend it only exists in movies or occasionally on forums.

Lets return to our comforting state of denial. Lets pretentious men never do this - or closer to home - that our husbands would never even think of infidelity.

Is that what you are asking PP?

The fact is, healthy marriages take work. It's also a fact that half of all marriages fail. It is not a stretch to conclude that some married people are not putting enough work into their marriages.

Whether you like it or not PP, this thread has given many people pause and food for thought; otherwise it would not have gone on for so many pages.

Good question, but I got flamed heavily for asking that on another thread.

NP here and you are both idiots.

Easy solution, let's switch husbands. twice a day sounds better than twice a month to me.

She probably is just telling her parents that she's doing interior design work for a friend. Which is true. It may not be how she's supporting her lifestyle but not a lie, either.

I have met several kept women in my life. Detached is a very good word to describe them- detached from their own self I would say. Their level of introspection is very low. They just don't get all those "fine matters" such as feelings, emotions, etc- and are not really interested in them. They are very straightforward in their thinking about things. Family is normal if there are no big fights and everyone gets together for holidays. Their life is fine as long as there is enough money, they are healthy, and good looking.
They are fascinating to me, who is very introspective and introverted in the Jungian sense. Seems like they don't complicate things.

Well, it's pretty clear that her family life is not too deep. It's hard to imagine my parents not asking for any details about how I am supporting myself, or at a bare minimum, if I have a job! Very odd.

Is it hard for you to imagine that she just lies to her parents? I mean, from my point of view, she and I are about the same age and I have a job in DC. My parents have come to visit one time, on a Saturday. How would they know whether or not I'm actually going to work? I could just be telling them all about my job and not going to work during the week. This is not very complicated. People lie all the time. She is basically LIVING a lie. What makes you think she wouldn't lie to her parents?

OP, he gives you a lump sum of $33k each year for rent: What form does the money come in? Personal check? Bank transfer? Cash?

Who cares? It's going to be a check, he was writing her checks before. So what?

I care. And I'd like to hear OP's answer. Thanks.

Yes, he gives me thousands of dollars in $5 bills that I keep in stacks on the floor of my closet.
I just double-checked my bank account to be able to answer this question. Turns out I was wrong - he transfers three months worth of rent at a time into my checking account.

And here's where I call BS. Big difference between less than $9k more in your account one morning vs. more than $30k. Your average checking balance is so high that you wouldn't spot that?

+1 to the BS call. I don't think the details of this one add up.

+1 smells like BS to me, too, for lots of different reasons.

It's been established time and time again that this website attracts parents and non parents, people who live in the D.C. area, and people who don't. Many of the topics are not parenting or D.C. related at all, thus can be interesting to a broad crowd.

On DCUM, that would hardly make her suspicious or unique.

Eye roll all you want to. But if the Op has described the situation accurately her married high sex drive boyfriend married a near asexual woman. Why would he do that?

I'd abort. I'd get the STD treated.
I know you all think since he'll cheat on his wife with me, he'll cheat on me. You're entitled to your opinion. But I know him and I don't think he's "cheating" on me, and I'm entitled to my opinion too.

According to you, this sex maniac man willingly got engaged and married to a low sex drive wife. Not that long ago, either. You don't see anything at all funny about that?

Can you imagine yourself *marrying* a man who did not need or want sex?

For all you know this guy could be bisexual and he has a male paramour on the side with a similar arrangement to your own. Bottom line is - you don't really know this man at all.
