The good folks over at Newsweek have as their new cover story on 'The Secret Lives of Wives'. Now women are empowered to be just as big a sleazeball as their cheating husbands are--roar!
"It was just so ruinous for a woman to be caught in adultery in past times, you had to be really driven or motivated to do it," says Peter D. Kramer, clinical professor of psychiatry at Brown University and author of "Should You Leave?" "Now you can get away with it, there's a social role that fits you."
It's nice to see our society is so accommodating.
What sort of women are these? Let's look at 'Veronica':
Veronica, on the other hand, fell in love with a man who was not her husband while she was safely at home in the Dallas suburbs looking after her two children. Hers is the more familiar story: isolated and lonely, married to an airline pilot, Veronica, now 35, took up with a wealthy businessman she met at a Dallas nightclub. Her lover gave her everything her husband didn't: compliments, Tiffany jewelry, flowers and love notes. It was, in fact, the flowers that did her in. Veronica's lover sent a bouquet to her home one afternoon, her husband answered the door and, in one made-for-Hollywood moment, the marriage was over. Now remarried (to a new man), Veronica says she and her friends half-jokingly talk about starting a Web site for married women who want to date.
Now isn't that sweet? My question is, who is the brain challenged male who married this woman after her affair? It certainly wasn't the businessman she had the affair with--he knew what kind of woman she is.
