Wife vs secretary

A wife once said to me " woman like you are pirates. You steal our men away by offering them adventure, excitement. What chance have we stay at home wives against you?" And i said the first thing that came into my head: "you can hardly call it piracy when the victims come clambering aboard, fairly begging to be taken along any where to get away". It was very nice of either of us, but there is much truth in both remarks. whenever there's casualty in case of "wife vs women in offices, the wife blames the other woman. But pretty often it is the fault of the wife herself her criminally careless treatment of a good husband. Now most of us women in offices are less designing than the average wife seems to think. But we are all humans. AT -30-40 it is still fun to have attention; moonlight and music still stir the heart. Dancing and tables for two are even more exciting than they were at 20, for in the interval one has learnt a great deal more about the possibillities of simulating conversation. And when fate send us an attractive male who obviouslylooking for escape are we so much to blame if we give him a kind welcome?

Actually its the boredom of the same old woman which causes this. Like having curry every single day. Then you go looking out for some other dish. Besides, a man is at his best in office or outside and shows his true colours at home. So even if the wife is very lovely, true and loving, a man tends to wander away. So he looks for a woman easily available, and who better than his sec who is with him all throrugh the day. They are thrown together so much that it sometimes becomes a mutual admiration society. Its a shame but I feel mostly the man is to blame. I dont say wives are better, for the fault may lie with them too, but I would feel that a sec should put herself in the wives shoes and feel the pinch. What if her husband did the same to her. I dont know, its a circle. But as far as possible, steer clear from married men. Good for both the health and mentally too.

ummm well i think it is neither the fault of the wife nor the women in the office. i feel the only person responsible for this is the husband. a little bit of bad treatment by the wife doesnot in any way make it ok for him to stray to somebody else. besides he should remember that it is the wife who is going to be there for him, well i may be a bit old fashioned but i feel there are husbands who dont get the treatment they deserve and yet are loyal and then there are others who stray anyways. so it would not be fair to blame the women. i guess the husband should remain loyal whatsoever.
